What is L&D? 

The “Learning and Development” (L&D) department manages the training, learning and development initiatives of businesses. It seeks to create a culture of continuous learning and growth through programmes that enable organisations to constantly evolve and develop. L&D’s responsibilities vary depending on the company, but often include: 

• Implementing learning strategies 
• Designing e-learning courses, workshops and plans 
• Upskilling the workforce 
• Enhancing employee participation and engagement 

Essentially, the L& D department’s job is to make sure the company and everyone in it are working at their best.
