Evolving L&D at University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust
Towards Maturity and the CIPD have recently launched a new report L&D Evolving Roles: Enhancing Skills that considers the future direction of L&D and the skills that they need to get there.
The report included a number of detailed interviews including this one with Anita Esser – Head of Wider Healthcare Teams Education, University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust.
University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust provides services to 1.9 million people living in Southampton and south Hampshire, and specialist services to more than 3.7 million people in the surrounding areas. The trust is a major centre for teaching and research in association with the University of Southampton and employs 10,550 people.
The trust has an established T&D structure which facilitates clear connections to organisational needs, so investment can be directed where it’s needed most. The team are also embracing how they can maximise the use of technology and new T&D approaches to facilitate learning in a challenging context.
Quick tips
- It is higly beneficial for senior members of the training & development dept’ to have an active service delivery role. This ensures that those in the design of the training are embedded in the organisation and have a full appreciation of learner needs.
- This structure also helps the team to prioritise with limited resources
- The team recognise that their own mindset is a critical factor in ensuring they make the most of technology: ‘I think it’s our responsibility as leaders to not let our own anxiety of how to use technology in learning be a barrier to our learners.’ – Anita

Towards Maturity Learning Health Check 2019 opens
Evidence is vital to backing up a case for change and even more powerful when internal data is being compared against high-performing learning organisations.
Challenging Perceptions
The corporate learning market is rapidly evolving to meet the ever-changing demands of work and worker. The C-suite and L&D leaders can no longer ignore that over 90 percent of organizations do not realize the full value of their investments.
All you need is Evidence
Every year over $400billion is spent on corporate learning globally, yet only 15% is proven to stick. Investments in learning are continuing to grow year on year but performance impact is not changing. The industry is still struggling to provide real proof of impact, in fact, for the first time the Towards Maturity Index is tracking a significant decline. This is causing leaders to have low confidence levels in L&D.
