## Resource

In this special episode of The HR Leader Podcast, produced in partnership with Dynamic Leadership Programs Australia (DLPA), we explore how and why skills are becoming increasingly more important than one's qualifications and what it means for how HR must view professional development moving forward. Host Jerome Doraisamy welcomes back DLPA chief executive Karlie Cremin to discuss the extent to which professional development is dropping down the priority list against a tough economic environment, why it is actually a pressing concern, why traditional approaches to professional development may no longer be fit for purpose, the extent to which employers are looking to make necessary pivots, the skills that are critical right now, ensuring proper return on investment, what works and doesn't work in shifting the team's approach to professional development, and what DLPA has observed and can offer to businesses looking to evolve the approach to growing and training workers.
