All of this, and more, is what you'll be able to get from time well spent with this resource."

Jo Cook, Editor, Training Journal and L&D Specialist, Lightbulb Moment

"Packed with fresh insights on AI, digitalisation and the evolving role of L&D, this fifth edition shows how workplace learning has been transformed. It captures these changes brilliantly and reflects the relevant standards of the CIPD Profession Map, making it an essential guide for those studying the Level 5 qualification and above, as well as for practitioners who want to stay ahead in a fast-changing world of L&D.

<b>Kathy Beevers</b> and <b>David Hayden</b>'s works have been my go-to for clarity and practicality - a trusted reference that shapes my L&D practice and the learning experiences I design."

Jo Bteddini, Regional L&D Partner, CIPD MENA

"<b>Kathy </b>and <b>David </b>have created an excellent and comprehensive fifth edition here that will well serve the L&D profession, those people already working in it, those seeking to work within it and anyone who wants to place their L&D practice at the heart of their organisation. Packed full of reflective activities and real world examples this edition is the 'go to' whether you are currently studying or not. There is something new for everyone. I particularly liked the inclusion of 'professional and ethical practice', as L&D, at all levels can influence their organisation culture often to a greater extent that they believe. Well done <b>Kathy </b>and <b>David </b>on producing this fifth edition of Learning and Development Practice in the Workplace. We look forward to encouraging our L&D Apprentice and CIPD learners to boost their professional edge by grabbing their copy."

"This book is practical, inspiring, and easy to relate to, yet grounded in real expertise. It is packed with examples, and reflective prompts that you can actually use, not just read and admire. What I appreciate most is the way it blends theory with practical insight. Every chapter encourages you to think critically about how learning happens and how to make it work for people, including those who face unique challenges. The passion for inclusive, meaningful, and impactful learning of both authors shines through, and it engages you to move on to the next chapter. Reading it reminded me why I do this work and how much potential we have to make a difference."
