Beyond Completions: Closing the Development Gap to Drive Retention & Business Outcomes

Wednesday 23 April 2025
Seminar Theatre 10

In this engaging 30-minute session, Harry Chapman-Walker will challenge organizations to rethink their approach to workplace learning and development. He will point out that 94% of employees leave their jobs due to a lack of development opportunities. This highlights that focusing solely on learning completions is insufficient to drive business outcomes or retention.

Harry will emphasize the need to shift from merely tracking course completions to actively closing skills gaps, ensuring that employees experience meaningful growth and career progression. He will provide data-driven insights and practical strategies for organizations to:

  • Identify critical skill gaps and tailor development plans via continuous performance conversations
  • Empower managers to become champions of development by equipping them with the necessary tools and mindset to support and grow their teams
  • Integrate learning & performance into the workflow to foster a culture of continuous development
  • Measure success based on its impact on business outcomes, rather than just completion rates

Attendees will leave with actionable takeaways on how to transform their learning and development approach, creating an environment where employees feel supported in their professional growth, ultimately reducing turnover and driving better business outcomes.
