Episode 415 — Who is responsible for learning at work?



This week on The Mind Tools L&D Podcast, Ross Garner and Ross Dick are joined by Kathryn Hume, strategic workforce planning and L&D consultant, and author of the book Learn, Solve, Thrive.
In the book, Kath argues that learners have a responsibility for managing their own learning and outlines strategies that anyone can adopt to make that process easier.

We discuss:

• why we can’t ‘wait around for someone to teach us’
• some of the difficulties we experience when we try to learn
• the relationship between workforce planning and training.
