The Learning Health Check is developed in partnership with academics, methodology specialists, L&D practitioners and business leaders. This ensures the longitudinal study is robust - giving you evidence to make smart decisions.

When you take the online survey, which takes around 40 minutes for an individual to complete and a little longer for teams, you benchmark your business processes and compare your performance metrics with those of other organizations. In the process, you are guided through questions about your learning offering and impact, helping you to reflect on areas that need improvement. With the results, you can see how your L&D strategy compares against your peers’ and get practical tips to improve - and outperform them.

Once you complete your Learning Health Check review, you'll get access to your personalized results dashboard. Here, you'll see data that highlights how you compare with other organizations in areas such as learning technologies and which parts of your learning strategy you want to improve on.

In addition to your results, the dashboard also highlights trends in technologies, common barriers to learning, and the top L&D skills to master.

This year, the Learning Health Check has questions on COVID-19. Emerald Works will release the high-level findings from the survey in August to better understand the pandemic's impact on the L&D industry, so now is an opportunity to have your say.

Also new for 2020, when you complete the Learning Health Check, you and your organization will get VIP Insight Status. This gives you the following benefits:

• personalized results specific to your industry
• early bird access to industry events and webinars
• exclusive invites to the latest research launches

VIP Insight Status also gives you the chance to join the Learning Innovation Group. This community of learning professionals works together to solve problems in their industries and sectors.
