what is L & D?

Learning and Development (L&D) is all about helping people grow — by building new skills, expanding their knowledge, and unlocking their potential.

From a business perspective, L&D is a strategic approach to developing employees so they stay motivated, capable, and productive. When people are supported to learn and thrive, it drives engagement, performance, and ultimately, business success.

L&D includes a range of activities such as training, coaching, and mentoring. Training can be tailored for new starters, helping them understand the organisation and the industry they’re part of. It can also be customised for existing employees, supporting upskilling, professional growth, and career progression across different departments.

At its core, L&D creates a culture where people feel valued, supported, and inspired to do their best work.
