Critical Needs

Workforce Learning and Development 2018

Brentwood, TN (USA), May 2018 - The USA’s top learning and employee engagement experts will reveal best practices for building a superior professional development program that supports business growth and workforce retention. Workforce L&D 2018 takes place at the Paris Las Vegas Hotel in Las Vegas, NV, 15-16 November.

The growth of the global eLearning industry is expected to increase 11% by 2020, as companies continue to recognize the correlation between employee development opportunities and increased retention, improved workplace performance, and smoother business continuity in the face of turnover. To help employers address this critical need, attend BLR’s Workforce L&D 2018 conference to address the latest tactics and technologies for designing, implementing, and measuring learning programs for maximum ROI.

Additionally, attendees will

  • uncover the latest technologies available to support L&D initiatives, from augmented and virtual reality to gamification and more
  • receive step-by-step guidance on developing new hire training curriculum assessments
  • learn how to effectively assess training needs to target exactly where time and resources should be invested to optimize L&D efforts
  • discover research-backed strategies for creating compelling training content that keeps staff engaged and able to retain the corporate message
  • take away proven ROI formulas to help sell L&D investment to the c-suite
  • hear how other high-performance companies are tackling project management roadblocks, aligning SME priorities and closing feedback loops
  • determine how to choose the right blended learning/modality framework to deliver formalized learning opportunities and support personal learning paths
  • and more!

"The learning and engagement experts at Workforce L&D will cover topics that are key to training, engagement, and retention", says Patricia Trainor, JD, SPHR, vice president of content and events for BLR. "We’re working in a time where employees with access to training-and-development programs have the advantage over employees in other companies who are left to seek out training opportunities on their own (if they have time). The investment in training that a company makes shows employees they are valued and creates a supportive workplace. Employees who feel appreciated and challenged through training opportunities are far more likely to find their jobs satisfying and engaging".
