team members are able to buddy, support, feedback to and coach each other through a variety of learning needs and developmental areas. We need to focus on the meta learning of stretch assignments in people’s work so that the skills of curiosity, failing fast and achievement are transferrable and further developed. When it comes to in-person training we need to be careful about returning to the physical classroom, partly due to the challenges of Covid, which have not completely disappeared, but mostly so that we are responding adeuately to peoples needs for  eibility in their work, as well as the costs and climate implications of moving people to one location. Classroom training, however, especially


onsite with machinery, materials or a specifi c contet like hospitality, remains an essential part of helping people with specifi c skills development ith good planning on the logistics front, and responding appropriately to the specifi c performance and learning needs, this is


T he number- one driver of w ork culture is the opportunity to l earn and gr ow


still the best approach for many elements of workplace learning. Using virtual training for everything that doesn’t need a physical element is a ay forard that supports the fi scal effi ciency that most organisations need at the moment. In the right circumstances, virtual can achieve even greater results than physical training as it can foster greater networking across regions and provide more collaborative opportunities with the right use of technology and


learning experience design. Lastly, and going back to the importance of development opportunities, the learning experience is not just the training. The training is only one part of a person’s development, which should include everything from the autonomy of deciding what’s important for them through to the discussion with the manager and how to continue the skills implementation. Training sessions or courses in combination with appropriately managed and selected development opportunities at work is an essential mix. This means that training is still an important element of that and quality design and facilitation, whether it’s a physical or virtual learning experience, is key. n
