Learning & development

As your internal learning and development team we deliver bespoke training and induction programmes that look to address the key challlenges within your business and optimise a values – led culture of continous learning.

Learning & Development focuses primarily on developing, motivating, engaging, and retaining existing employees in line with their professional goals and the wider goals of the company.

The objective of learning and development is to help employees enhance their skills and knowledge, which in turn contributes to the organisation’s growth and success.

For employees’ training and development to be successful, the learning and development strategy must align with business objectives and business needs.

Employees who are on board with company goals already have long-term career success in mind.

They can see where they want to be in the organisation in the near future and are willing to stick around if an employer is willing to invest in their career.

They also must see a clear connection between their personal goals and the long-term goals of the organisation.

From topical ‘lunch and learns’ to 12-month leadership development programmes, and from emerging talent to board level and beyond, our team are here to support the learning and development of your business to engage and retain talent while maximising performance.

We are also able to offer DISC personality profiling to improve self-awareness of individuals, evaluating the effectiveness of teams and help shape future recruitment strategies.

Learning and Development is a subset of people management, specifically focused on improving the abilities and potential of the organization’s current employees.

Talentheads partnered with UNW to design a tailor-made leadership program as part of our learning and development services for our firm. Their remarkable expertise and great understanding of our firm’s DNA are some of the reasons why we decided to choose Laura and Talentheads as our Learning & Development partner. Talentheads are able to offer us just the right level of knowledge and advice, while actively listening to our needs and incorporating our ideas and firm’s identity into each part of the process. This approach proved very successful, resulting in a completely bespoke leadership training programme for our people. I would highly recommend Talentheads and Laura for any Learning & Development services, especially coaching, facilitation and design of bespoke solutions.
