Many organizations responded to the global pandemic by adopting digital technologies that enabled different ways of working. This sudden, unanticipated change has created opportunities for L&D, but it's also posed challenges.

This week on The Mind Tools L&D Podcast, Ross D is joined by Owen and Anna to dive into this year's L&D Benchmark Report: 'Is your learning culture keeping pace with rapid digitalization?' They discuss:

• the history of the Annual L&D Benchmark Report, and its relationship to our Learning Performance Benchmark
• the emergence of culture and digitalization as the key themes of this year's report, and what this tells us about the state of L&D
• the characteristics of top-performing organizations, and what we can learn from them
• practical advice for applying the report's findings.
