Name: Breaking News: HR and L&D come out of the shadows!
Start: 2025-07-02T06:00:00.000Z
Location: Sebel Brisbane Hotel

For almost five decades, HR and, more recently, L&D have been seen as back-office operational functions with little defined value. Not anymore. The emergence of People and Culture Executives, Capability Managers, and Learning specialists has propelled the once undervalued resources of organisations into strategically important drivers of success.

A report from ATD, commissioned by Zensai, shows that a lack of resources means benefits delivered by HR and L&D are not being identified and shared.

Gartner’s 2025 survey of over 1,400 HR leaders found that the top HR priorities now focus on filling critical talent gaps, integrating HR strategy with business planning, and leveraging technology to maximise value and productivity.

Companies with comprehensive training programs report a 24% higher profit margin and up to 218% higher income per employee. Organisations that foster a learning culture see employee retention rates increase by 30–50%.
Join us at The Sebel Hotel on 2nd July, come out of the shadows, hear from our expert panel and share your insights on how you and your teams can become drivers of Human Success!
