Learning NewsBlue Eskimo

The annual assessment of pay and working conditions in learning and development has opened and will report in the New Year.

 

Blue Eskimo is looking for people working in L&D to participate in its Workplace & Salary Survey 2023. All participants in this year’s Survey will be sent a report of the key insights and will be in with a chance to win a £400 Apple Voucher. The survey only takes about 5 minutes and every response helps. 

The last 12 months in the L&D and learning technologies sector have been challenging. With a stagnant economy affecting spend on L&D services and L&D budgets being squeezed, this is in contrast to the boom years of 2021 and 2022.

The survey will shed light on how this has affected salaries and workplace sentiment in L&D, along with several other factors include confidence in L&D levels for 2024.

Nick Bate from Blue Eskimo, publisher of the annual Workplace and Salary Report, said: "Regardless of the economic climate, there are always lots of things to consider before you make a job move. However, when times are tough it’s critical to  do your research on the company you are looking to move to, look at the company finances, are they stable and in a good position for growth? What is the culture and staff turnover like? If possible, reach out to existing or former employees and ask their opinions and be sure you ask plenty of questions during the hiring process to make sure the role is a good fit for your life and values, not just your wallet!"

If career progression is important to you, are there opportunities within your current organisation? Make sure that your future career plans are not only clear to you, but also to your current employer - so you don’t miss out. 

If you would like to know more about what has happened in L&D in 2023, all participants in this year’s Workplace & Salary Survey will be sent a report of the key insights and will be in with a chance to win a £400 Apple Voucher. The survey only takes about 5 minutes and every response helps.
