Hello Everyone,
I am in a very peculiar condition here. I have recently joined a new organization which has multiples branches and stores. My position is of a mid level employee in L&D and i am responsible for country wide L&D intervention. My reporting is to someone who does not understand my function & i have spent 4 month is the organization, meaning i am still not a confirmed employee yet.
Now the problem is that I do not have work. My KPI's were handed over to me on the very first day & have nothing to do with my L&D profile & are mostly based on operations performance. I have tried to speak with various people in the organization (including my boss) regarding lack of work/opportunities to work. The list also includes people who are above me in my function but operate through a different region.
I have 8 years of L&D experience which is totally going waste & the reason i left my previous organization (1.2 yrs) was due to the same reason.
I am now in a situation where i am not able to decide , if i should stick here (spoil all i have learnt) or move on (spoil my resume)
Also i want to ask all the seniors (who would agree with me that L&D is an important and integral function) something :
1. Is hiring a L&D person a trend/ fashion that most organizations follow ?
2. What should a L&D person while appearing for an interview focus at so that he does not end up in a situation like mine.
3. For L&D function to give something back to the business, is it required that somebody in the management understands the function.
I am a passionate L&D professional & now i am always wondering if i made the right move by switching into L&D .
Cheers & Thank you for reading it all.
Regards
