Embracing continuous learning: Upskilling your team in 2024

Continuous learning at work is good for your business. From compulsory learning such as health and safety, to continued professional development (CPD), all employees, no matter what their role, can benefit.

Why is continuous learning so key? For starters, it keeps us in sync with the latest industry trends. Everything’s evolving at lightning speed, and we need to keep pace to stay relevant. By pushing for continuous learning, we ensure our team is always on the cutting edge, which in turn boosts our company’s competitive edge. With continuous learning comes continuous development; not just for the employee, but for their place of work. A team that engages in training and development will not only remain competent, but can also aspire to be one step ahead of the competition, giving your business the edge. Plus, continuous learning positively impacts on employee satisfaction and engagement. When people have opportunities to learn and advance, they feel more valued and driven – not only increasing job satisfaction, but helping to reduce staff turnover. and reducing our carbon emissions by 69% over the past decade.

In a nutshell, upskilling isn’t just a ‘nice to have’ – it’s a must in the modern workplace.

At The HR Dept Wrexham and Chester, we’re big believers in the power and value of continuous learning. Our own Snr HR consultant Lauren Rymer recently achieved Chartered CIPD status – adding a wealth of expertise to our team and benefiting our clients.

We’re really proud of what we’ve been able to achieve in recent years to help local communities, our employees and the environment through various initiatives, but we recognise there is always more that can be done and it’s for this reason that in addition to celebrating our achievements, we set out in this report our ESG commitments going forward, as we strive to have a more beneficial impact in future years too.
