Considering this, I\u2019ve assembled a list of the top <a href=\"\/en\/blog\/5-workplace-trends-what-to-expect-in-2025\/\">workplace trends<\/a> in training and development.\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best Practices<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\nEven with all the new technology available, I believe there will be a \u201creturn to basics\u201d in the 2020s regarding leadership development.&nbsp; The problems leaders are having are not new or unique.&nbsp; They need to develop skills around a few key areas:\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Holding others accountable<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Communication<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"\/en\/knowledge-hub\/employee-development\/\">Employee development<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\nThe problems leaders face may manifest themselves a bit differently given the changing nature of work (e.g., working with remote employees, working with different generations, etc.), but these core leadership skills are still critical for success.&nbsp;\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Changing Nature of Work<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\nI have never been in a situation where an organization wasn\u2019t trying to adapt, change, and thrive.&nbsp; It really falls on an organization&#8217;s leaders to <a href=\"\/en\/blog\/driving-organizational-change-5-tips-for-leaders\/\">drive change<\/a> in a positive way \u2013 and this makes it really important to select and develop leaders in this area.&nbsp;\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Generations in the Workplace<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\nOne of the biggest challenges organizations face is the rapid promotion of <a href=\"\/en\/blog\/understanding-millennials-in-the-workplace\/\">millennials<\/a>. <a href=\"\/en\/blog\/understanding-baby-boomers-in-the-workplace\/\">Baby boomers<\/a> are retiring, which means there is a gap that needs to be filled. Thirty years ago it may have taken most of an employee\u2019s career to be promoted into a leadership role \u2013 just recently, I spoke with a nurse who said it took her 25 years to be promoted.&nbsp; However, due to some of the gaps left by retirements, companies might be faced with promoting individuals earlier than before, hence the increased need for leadership development.\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New Technology\/Artificial Intelligence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\nIn my opinion, \u201dArtificial Intelligence\u201d has been a trendy term that\u2019s been used over the past 10 or so years with no standard or real meaning behind it. This is definitely true as it relates to leadership development and coaching. Similar to my thoughts above around returning to basics, I think companies will shy away from the \u201cshiny new toys\u201d and rely on tried and true methods of development.&nbsp; Or \u2013 and maybe more realistically \u2013 they will use technology to augment\/supplement the development process.&nbsp;\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Diversity\/Inclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\nThe topic of diversity and inclusion is on the top of everyone\u2019s minds right now and will become increasingly more important moving forward. Companies need to foster a culture of inclusion where employees are treated fairly and feel safe when going to their managers with concerns. Great leaders are imperative in leading that charge.\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stress Management<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\nRecently, we have seen an increase in interest and requests for leadership development around relationship building and respect \u2013 not only related to diversity and respecting individual differences, &nbsp;but also related to increasing incidents of bullying, workplace mobbing, and unprofessional behavior. When we take a deeper look at what is causing these incidents, stress often appears to be the cause.\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Resilience and Adaptability<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As work environments get more and more complex and diverse, it is imperative that leaders are able to adapt, adjust, and realign quickly and effectively.\u00a0 This is unlikely to change anytime soon and, in fact, considering the points we discussed above regarding technology, diversity, and changing nature of work, will be more important than ever before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What they say about change is true: it\u2019s constant. Organizations should keep that, along with the trends we\u2019ve outlined above, in mind as they build their training and leader development plans. <a href=\"\/en\/knowledge-hub\/workforce-agility\/\">Agility in the workforce<\/a> and adaptability are the keys to success as we move into the new decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-vertically-aligned-center is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);grid-template-columns:40% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"828\" src=\"http:\/\/talogy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/cta-research-report-cover-changing-success-criteria.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4523 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/talogy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/cta-research-report-cover-changing-success-criteria.jpg 640w, https:\/\/talogy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/cta-research-report-cover-changing-success-criteria-232x300.jpg 232w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Changing success criteria<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What will be important and why?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The world of work is constantly evolving: from the digital disruption of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and the seismic impact of the recent pandemic, to a long overdue focus on building diverse and inclusive organizations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To deal with this continuous disruption and change, your workforce will need to be able to cope, adapt, and perform in different ways to be effective, and your hiring strategies need to align. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this report, you\u2019ll learn: \u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The seven core competencies repeatedly cited in the review of over 10,000 assessments as key for success across a variety of roles over the last ten years<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The seven competencies that will be critical for success over the next ten years<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Why these competencies will be required for future organizational success<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you ready to discover which competencies are essential to survive and thrive in the reshaped world of work?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/info.talogy.com\/en-us\/changing-success-criteria\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Download now<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Training and Development Is Changing at a Rapid Pace In order to stay ahead of the curve, organizations must use their training and development programs in a way that is not only beneficial for their employees, but also keeps them in line with organizational goals as a whole.
