I am working for a company that has 4 distinct businesses under one corporate umbrella. We are looking to create Learning & Development as a "shared service" for the entire organization. What would be a good structure for the department? If any of you could share your training and/or OD or HR department structures... it would be helpful. An org chart would be best... showing top level executive, next level under that, etc...

I would think if your organization wants to work toward HR as a Strategic Business Partner to the organization as a whole it should combine all the training functions within HR reporting to the VP of HR (or reporting to the head of its O/D area if one exists). The integration should then focus on creating its HR Competency Model for training functions and bridge the gaps among all trainers so they have the ability to collaborate at any level and all levels of the organization. This will result in the most value to the organization's overall profitability.

Daily Q&A

How to Address Flagging Motivation?

How do I increase motivation levels in the department? How do I brand my business unit as an attractive place to work? I have top-notch IT professionals in my business unit who feel they are "children of a lesser God" because they are non-billable resources and do not get plum postings abroad, nor the glamour that goes with them. As a result, their motivation suffers.
