Learning and Development Practice in the Workplace

by Kathy Beevers, Andrew Rea, David Hayden

Learning and Development Practice in the Workplace is the ideal textbook for anyone studying CIPD L&D qualifications and apprenticeships at Level 3 or Level 5, as well as for practitioners new to an L&D role.

This book covers what is required of an L&D professional and how to meet and exceed these expectations, how to align L&D activity with organisational strategy and, crucially, how to identify learning needs and design effective L&D practice.

This new edition of Learning and Development Practice in the Workplace has been fully updated, reflecting the new CIPD Profession Map, and now has dedicated chapters on the different approaches to learning delivery, including face-to-face training and facilitation, technology-based learning, coaching, mentoring and social and collaborative learning. There is also expert guidance on learner engagement including insights from neuroscience and psychology, as well as advice on evaluating the impact of L&D. With case studies, activities and examples throughout, this new edition is an indispensable guide for students and new practitioners alike. Online supporting resources include lecture slides, annotated web links and self-test questions.

This is perfect for those studying either an HR qualification with L&D modules or a specific L&D qualification to use as a reference to complement in class learning. It is also useful to those new to a L&D role as it sets out what is expected of an L&D role and how to meet those expectations and how it fits in with the wider ethos of HR and the workplace in general.

This is a concise guide to Learning and Development principles and techniques. It belongs on any Human Resource Professional's bookshelf. The writing is conversational, the layout easy to navigate, and the material easy to comprehend. I read this on Kindle, and I missed the charts and graphs - too small to be read easily.

I received my copy through NetGalley under no obligation.

I'm studying for the certification and I can say this is a very useful and comprehensive book.
It's well explained, I love how it is organized and the activities.
Highly recommended!
Many thanks to Kogan Page and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.
