Addressing the widening skills gaps in mid sized organisations

In mid-sized organisations, Learning & Development (L&D) teams often find themselves at a crossroads. They must balance pressing demands of compliance administration with the need to enhance the user learning experience. While large enterprises can often juggle mandatory training and offer ample development opportunities to retain their top talent, smaller, overstretched teams at mid-sized organisations face a tougher challenge.



According to recent research from Cornerstone, an alarming 41% of employees struggle to advance their skills where they currently work, and 65% are hungry for more learning content to expand their knowledge. This signals a vital need: organisations must invest in rich learning resources to boost productivity, align team goals, and foster employee engagement. Unfortunately, stretched talent teams and tight budgets make it difficult to meet these demands, which can lead to employees feeling undervalued and considering jumps to competitors who prioritise their development needs.



Mid-sized organisations are particularly feeling this squeeze. With resources already stretched, the ability to compete for top talent with larger enterprises becomes increasingly challenging. The heavy administration burden and the disparity in resources and budget for learning programs put these organisations at a disadvantage.



In this on-demand webinar with Luke Hicks and Simon Veasey, delve into the pressing issues mid-sized organisations are currently facing in the UK and Ireland. Drawing from insights across Cornerstone’s customer base, they will explore how technology can empower L&D and HR teams, preparing them to support their organisations and workforce more effectively now and into the future.
