Following the huge overhaul in working practices triggered by the coronavirus pandemic, new research has revealed that the majority of employers are looking to increase their L&D budgets in 2021.
A study by Arden University found that more than half (52 per cent) of organisations are planning to spend more on L&D next year, with 6 per cent predicting a significant rise.
The Covid crisis has changed the perception of L&D, with more than a quarter of employers (28 per cent) saying that it is likely to be more important to their organisations as the UK emerges from the pandemic.
