What Is Learning and Development (L&D)? | HR Glossary | BambooHR
Activities that build employees' skills, knowledge and capabilities to support performance and growth.
Learning and development covers all the ways an organisation helps its people grow — training, coaching, mentoring, e-learning and on-the-job experience — to build the skills the business and individuals need.
Strong L&D improves performance, supports career progression and is a major driver of engagement and retention, particularly for ambitious employees.
The most effective programmes are tied to clear skills gaps and business goals, and are reinforced by opportunities to apply new learning in practice.
