Learning and development professionals are in increased demand, according to the latest professional talent spotlight from Badenoch & Clark.

Sarah Wynn, operations director, HR, Badenoch & Clark, says: “With a wide range of organisations rolling out change programmes in Scotland, there is increased demand for learning and development professionals to help identify, devise and deliver corresponding training to affected business areas. Many are expanding their teams to ensure that new processes and procedures are embedded effectively.”

“With major new contracts being won and companies strengthening their market position through M&A activity, the FMCG and manufacturing sectors are now focusing on succession planning and engagement to ensure they retain their best talent.”
