The first week of March, most of the talent development community got multiple calls from clients to cancel or postpone at least 8 weeks of work. It has been a challenge, and we heard things like:
- “This is an opportune time to train and develop. With our people at home and business slowing down, it is actually a great time for our people to upskill”.
- “Our people need to lead and think differently now. How will I get our leaders aligned and executing fast if we cancel the offsite?”.
- “Our leaders are not ready to lead in a downturn? How is their recession readiness? Will they be ready to adjust when we are coming out of a slowdown?”.
- “Leadership culture matters, even more, today and mindsets are the driving force”.
Get some ideas, best practices, and resources for the talent development community and keep your business moving forward in times of uncertainty.
