In this episode, Nishchae goes deep on the theme of moving with greater agility to drive cultural change and creating a learner experience where individuals view work as an opportunity for self-discovery and growth. We discuss with Nishchae: Why learning should be seen as a culture-driven commitment and not a compliance-driven requirement  How an L&D oriented culture solves for the retention rate and business profitability How new technologies can form pathways to transformative shifts in the L&D space Why every organization must become a learning organization if it has to survive, sustain and grow Peer-to-peer learning initiatives Are the L&D function and R&R function interlinked?
