Despite a changed economic environment
recruiters confirm in a recent industry report that the jobs market for
learning and development specialists is robust, and should stay that
way.
Coaching is now the most popular leadership development tool:
Latest data points to a particular demand for management
development and talent succession expertise. Also confirmed is an
increase in organizations looking for contractors with executive
coaching skills to "develop senior managers to lead their teams more
effectively." It also seems that more and more L&D professionals
"have taken coaching qualifications in the market today".
Large organizations to have own coaching departments in near future:
"In 10 years' time there will be coaching departments in companies"
The report adds such coaching departments will report to chief learning
officers (CLOs), who will manage learning and development activities
and have a seat on the board. Most companies it noted should "have a
CLO in five years' time".
The report added that HR directors may well report to CLOs as
companies re-structured their boards to give more prominence to
learning and development and related activities. In the upper end of
the coaching market it was claimed that 80% of that market was
executive and leadership coaching, with business coaching accounting
for around 20%.
