The Cabinet Office on L&D’s importance today

Editor’s note

Dear readers,

In his role at the UK Cabinet Office, Daniel Okin is responsible for a massive L&D strategy and implementation programme, which entails upskilling tens of thousands of employees.

Daniel states that recent unstable conditions have forced organisations to take a more ‘sensible’ approach to employees’ work-life balance, and that professionals could be keen to return to offices after a long period of remote working.

All the best,
