Whether you’re an HR manager, a learning and development professional, or a business leader looking to improve team performance, the 2023 Learning Trends Report can help propel your team from good to great. This is an excellent opportunity to benchmark your team against the best and learn the latest trends to help you achieve exemplary results.

This is a great opportunity to benchmark your team against the best and learn the latest trends to help you achieve exemplary results. 

 Some of the questions we answer are: 

  • What are the most common L&D tasks that people are working on?  
  • What L&D technologies are currently in use?  
  • What are your learning design goals?  
  • What design processes are L&D teams using? 
  • How are we feeling about learning evaluation?  
  • How well are L&D teams innovating?  
  • How are L&D teams dealing with the worries about the economy? 

In this report, we compared exemplary organizations to typical organizations across a range of questions. TiER1 defines exemplary organizations as those that use systematic methods to gain insight into their learning designs and results.  

Important insights we found include:  

  • Exemplary organizations really do things differently from typical ones. For example, people working for exemplary organizations are happier in their work, are more innovative in their work, and work on many more learning assets than those in typical organizations.  
  • Many learning professionals will be working from home in 2023, although this tends to vary by region of the world.  
  • One-third of us feel that our learning teams can demonstrate undeniable or strong evidence of success in improving work performance.  
  • Learning vendors differentiate themselves from non-learning businesses and other types of organizations in many ways. They tend to be more innovative, happier with their learning evaluation, and receive better professional development.  
  • 64% of us are frustrated with the learning evaluation we currently do.  
  • The top three learning modalities are all delivered online, including eLearning, online instructor-led training, and videos.  
  • Classroom training has started to rebound from the COVID-19 pandemic.  
  • Scientific research was the most trusted source of job-relevant information 
  • We hope these insights empower you and your team to use the data to benchmark your practices against the best.
