Why is People Development Stalling? How to Develop a Culture of Learning

Webinar | November 19, 2026 9:15 am

Organisations are investing more than ever in learning, yet development too often fails to translate into lasting behaviour change and improved performance. The challenge is not always the quality of the programme, platform, or training. Often, it is the wider environment in which learning is expected to take place.

This practical webinar explores what gets in the way of people development and what organisations can do differently to create a genuine culture of learning. We will look beyond formal training to examine the conditions that enable people to grow, including manager capability, career conversations, psychological safety, everyday learning, and individual ownership.

You will discover how to make development part of how work happens, not something separate from it.

What You’ll Learn

  • Understand why people development often stalls after training has taken place.
  • Explore the conditions required to create a genuine culture of learning.
  • Examine the role of managers in supporting ongoing development and behaviour change.
  • Improve the quality of career and development conversations.
  • Consider how psychological safety influences learning, growth, and performance.
  • Make better use of everyday learning opportunities.
  • Encourage greater individual ownership of development.
  • Integrate learning into the flow of work rather than treating it as a separate activity.

Who Should Attend

This webinar is ideal for HR professionals, L&D teams, people managers, organisational development specialists, department heads, and business leaders who want to make learning and development more effective.

It will be especially valuable for organisations that want to:

  • Improve the impact of their learning and development investment.
  • Create more lasting behaviour change after training.
  • Strengthen manager capability and development support.
  • Build a workplace where people feel safe to learn and grow.
  • Make career conversations more meaningful and consistent.
  • Embed learning into everyday work and performance.
  • Encourage employees to take greater ownership of their development.

Why Attend?

Learning does not create lasting impact simply because people attend a programme or complete a course. Development is more likely to translate into improved performance when employees have the support, time, confidence, and opportunity to apply what they have learned.

This session will help you look beyond programmes, platforms, and training to understand the wider conditions that make development possible. You will explore how managers, workplace culture, career conversations, psychological safety, everyday experiences, and individual accountability all contribute to meaningful growth.

You will leave with practical ideas to help make development more relevant, more consistent, and more closely connected to the way work happens every day.
