Meeting the Future: The Vital Role of Professional Development

HR professionals are among the most motivated learners in any field. Nearly all participated in professional development last year; nearly all plan to again this year. Yet 81% say their organizations don’t invest enough in HR learning.

HRCI’s new white paper examines where professional development is falling short, and what organizations can do to get it right.

“How we train and learn matters. Our ability to meet the future depends on it. Professional development is not just ‘nice to have.’ It is essential to manage a workforce that will look and behave very differently with each passing year.”
– Dr. Amy Dufrane, CEO, HRCI
