L&D budgets under pressure
L&D budgets continue to be squeezed with investment in learning under ongoing scrutiny: Part 3 of Fosway's 2025 Digital Learning Realities Research looks at L&D budgets and investment trends.
With AI on the rise and economic pressures still in play, L&D teams are having to do more with less. Fosway’s latest data highlights shifts in budget allocation, team structures, and where investment is headed.
David Perring: ‘With little movement over the past three years, a significant number of L&D budgets have experienced sustained belt tightening. And again, this year investment in learning has only grown in less than a third of organisations. Exactly in line with our 2024 results, 61% of L&D teams saw their budget decrease or stay the same.’
In this third part of our series, we look at what that means for the shape and skills of learning teams today.
