ASTD Releases New Data on Workplace Learning Investments and Practices
Employee learning and development is taking center stage as business leaders increasingly understand that a highly skilled, knowledgeable workforce is critical to achieving growth and success. In its new 2006 State of the Industry Report, the American Society for Training & Development (ASTD) finds that leading organizations increased learning investments in two key areas: annual expenditure per employee and learning hours. Highlights from the report: -- The use of technology to deliver learning was nearly the same in both samples: 36.9 percent in BMF organizations and 36.3 percent in BEST organizations. At least 60 percent of technology-based learning was online in 2005, and almost 90 percent of online learning was self-paced.
