What Happens to a Business That Stops Learning?
Work is evolving at breakneck speed. New tools and challenges land faster than most teams can react. In this environment, the organisations committed to learning are the ones driving innovation, not scrambling to keep up. So then if learning is treated as optional, are you quietly handing your competitors the advantage?
Your People Want to Grow or They'll Go
One stat from Randstad brings this into sharp focus. 28% of employees would quit their job if they weren't offered opportunities to upskill for the future. That's a huge portion of your workforce quietly reconsidering their place in the business if development isn't on the table. With talent shortages and recruitment costs rising, investing in learning isn't a nice gesture, it's essential for retention.
Learning Fuels Innovation
CIPD insights and research shows companies that prioritise learning are 92% more likely to innovate and adapt to change. Continuous learning expands curiosity, unlocks creativity and encourages people to challenge old ways of working. A learning culture doesn't just keep up with change. It turns your workforce into the people who create it.
Better Learning, Better Performance
Strong L&D goes far beyond teaching new skills. It sharpens decision-making, boosts confidence and increases productivity across the business. Teams equipped with the right knowledge deliver better results, make fewer mistakes and feel more capable in their roles. Learning isn't a cost. It's a performance multiplier.
Development Drives Retention
Retention and development are deeply connected. A huge 94% of employees say they're more likely to stay when a company invests in their learning. People want to feel supported. They want progress, purpose and a path forward. When organisations commit to their growth, employees commit back. It's that simple.
Continuous Learning Builds Competitive Advantage
In a global, fast-moving market, competitiveness comes from keeping pace or ideally, staying ahead. A culture of continuous learning ensures you're ready for shifting industries, emerging technologies and evolving customer needs. Organisations that learn quickly adapt quickly. Those that don't fall behind.
And This Is Why Learning Matters
Learning isn't a standalone initiative. It's the engine powering innovation, performance, retention and long-term resilience. When organisations embed learning into the culture, not ration it or limit it, they build teams who are confident, capable and committed.
That's why we're so dedicated to removing barriers like per-user pricing and making learning accessible to everyone, so you can champion change.
