Focus on links to business strategy

Training should be carefully aligned with business strategy to help an organization achieve its strategic goals

Training is no longer an isolated function, but rather an integral part of business success

Different companies have different strategic training needs—one size does not fit all

Changing demographics and diversity of the workforce

The workplace is becoming older and more culturally diverse

The median age of the labor force will be 42.3 years in 2026, the oldest ever recorded

Between 2016 and 2026, the U.S. labor force will be more ethnically diverse due to immigration, increased participation of minorities in the workforce, and higher minority fertility rates

Training is important to help promote diversity and accommodate needs of different groups
