There are many learning engagement challenges that companies face in L&D. Here are some of the greatest employee engagement challenges, along with some relevant statistics:
1. Lack of time and resources
One learning engagement challenge that many companies face is a lack of time and resources for employees to participate in learning and development activities. A study by the American Society for Training and Development found that 66% of employees cited time constraints as a barrier to learning and development.
2. Lack of relevance and value
Another challenge is a lack of relevance and value of learning and development activities for some employees, leading to low motivation to participate. A survey by the Corporate Executive Board found that only 24% of employees believe their company’s learning and development programs are effective.
3. Lack of support and encouragement.
Additionally, a lack of support and encouragement from managers and colleagues can reduce employee engagement and motivation in learning and development. A study by the National Institute for Learning and Development found that only 25% of employees feel that their manager supports their learning and development efforts.
4. Difficulty in measuring and demonstrating impact.
Measuring and demonstrating the impact of learning and development programs on employee performance and business outcomes is also a challenge for many companies. A study by the Institute for Corporate Productivity found that only 37% of companies are able to measure the impact of their learning and development programs.
5. Technological challenges and barriers.
Finally, technological challenges and barriers, such as outdated systems, lack of training and support, and resistance to change, can hinder the implementation and use of technology to support learning and development. A study by the eLearning Guild found that only 33% of companies believe they are effectively using technology to support learning and development.
