| Top 10 learning and development articles |
The most pressing learning and development topics include line manager development, measuring the success of training and tribunal rulings related to training provision, judging by the articles most frequently read on the XpertHR website over the past 12 months.
1. Tribunal decision advises training in mental health
In a ruling relating to the recent case of Crisp v Iceland Foods Ltd, an employment tribunal recommended that retail company Iceland must give disability discrimination training with a mental health focus to all HR staff who assist managers in disciplinary and grievance matters, as well as to senior managers.
2. Training managers to combat underperformance: the 2012 XpertHR survey
Learning how to conduct a difficult conversation is the most important aspect of performance management training for managers, yet employers rarely make this mandatory, according to respondents in our latest research.
3. Learning and development survey 2011: measuring success
Our research finds that measuring the success of training against organisational metrics helps to enhance the perceived value of training.
4. Stress management survey 2011: risk assessment and training
This report finds that line manager training is the most important type of stress management training, although only a minority of employers provide such training or undertake risk assessments.
5. How manager training can reduce absence rates: the 2011 XpertHR survey
Training line managers in absence management gives them the confidence to tackle employee sickness and non-attendance issues, and frequently leads to reduced absence rates, according to this XpertHR survey.
6. Training obligations: employment law reference manual section on training and development
This section in the XpertHR employment law manual outlines the core employer obligations relating to workplace training.
7. How to make a success of absence management training: the 2011 XpertHR survey

8. Tribunal recommends maternity rights training
This article covers a case where the tribunal recommended maternity rights training in a company where an employee was given work two days after giving birth.
9. How to measure the success of learning: 2012 XpertHR survey
Our most recent research into evaluation of learning finds that line manager input can be key to the successful evaluation of learning at an individual level, but this is jeopardised where managers lack commitment.
10. Managing learning and development in a recession
Many employers are refining their use of training resources to achieve maximum efficiency, and increasing their focus on leadership development.

MANAGING PERFORMANCE, STRESS AND ABSENCE
Our list of the most commonly read XpertHR articles indicates that evaluation of training and line manager development have been important issues for HR and learning professionals over the past 12 months.
Popular articles this year gave insights into how organisations train managers to deal with underperformance, stress in the workplace and absence - all difficult areas for employers.
Recent recommendations that were made in relation to training provision at two tribunal hearings have also provoked considerable interest among XpertHR users. In fact, our most popular article discusses a ruling in which the retail company Iceland was advised to give disability discrimination training with a mental health focus to HR staff and senior managers.
In addition, we are planning to add several good practice guides covering training and development topics to the XpertHR website. If you have any thoughts on the areas you would like to see covered by our guides, please do get in touch.
