Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies.

Design/methodology/approach

This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context.

Findings

Aversion to training in the workplace by trainees stems from a complex web of psychological responses and poor feedback acceptance by trainers. Improving this feedback loop and reducing the psychological pressure can yield significant results for an organization.

Originality/value

The briefing saves busy executives, strategists and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
