More about the Global Sentiment Survey: 

The 2022 L&D Global Sentiment Survey asked the global HR and L&D community – “What will be hot in workplace learning in 2022?”

The L&D Global Sentiment Survey takes the pulse of the L&D community world-wide, annually. 

Participants are asked to choose what they think will be hot, not what should be hot. Each person votes for 3 of 15 options, presented in random order. There is, in addition, an ‘Other’ option. Aggregated, and examined over time, these answers provide a fascinating look at trends in what people in L&D are thinking. The survey is published each year in February.

This year’s L&D Global Sentiment Survey, now in its ninth year, attracted responses from thousands of respondents from 112 countries.
