Training Employees In Small Business (SMB Series) The HR Hub
-
- Management
In a small or medium business (or NFP) you need to do a little bit of many things - learning and development is no exception. So, as part of my series on HR for SMBs, we are talking about L&D in that environment.
Our expert guest for this episode was the exceptional James Aird, an L&D specialist with a Master's of Education from Harvard. James has a unique perspective, having honed his skills in conflict areas like Iraq and the Congo. He is down-to-earth with a lot of practical tips to help SMBs figure out their L&D.
In this episode, James shares:
🎯 Why SMBs should invest in L&D.
💡 Common challenges faced by SMBs in implementing L&D programs and how to address them. Some is money, but some is attention and expertise.
📚 Surprisingly affordable options for SMBs to access comprehensive learning and development resources.
🏢 The role of leaders in driving L&D and aligning it with business objectives.
🔑 The ideal time for an organization to invest in a Learning Management System (LMS).
If you're leading a small or medium business or NFP or you're in HR there, check out this episode - and the whole series!
