A lack of line management buy-in (cited by 40 per cent of respondents) is the key barrier to learning retention, according to a survey of hundreds of learning and development professionals conducted by the World of Learning 2008, the UK’s key conference and exhibition for business learning.
The survey also revealed that 37 per cent of respondents believe that the lack of follow-up further hinders the success of learning retention. A further 25 per cent felt that the lack of coaching/mentoring negatively affected the effectiveness of learning and development opportunities, followed by a further 24 per cent believing that lack of learner buy-in was a major issue.
The survey results have been released ahead of the World of Learning Conference, sponsored by the Learning and Skills Council (LSC), which takes place on 19 & 20 November 2008 at the NEC, Birmingham.
