The importance of tech adoption in learning and development and how it can help people leaders cater to the need of Gen-Z employees to have more on-demand training and smaller bite size content that are easily consumable.
The role of managers in implementing a 70/20/10 learning model, where the 70% is on the job training, 20% is from coaching and 10% is outside skill development like conferences, training etc. and how this will enable Gen-Z workforce to be more equipped.
