In early 2015, this survey will be sent to ATD members from more than 120 countries, as well as key contacts from contributing international organizations. These contributing organizations, who have strong reputations in the talent development field and relationships with ATD International, will help distribute the survey to their members and contacts.

We ask our members to keep an eye out for an ATD email asking them to participate in the survey. Having more participants and more data will allow us to gain, and share with the talent development community, greater insights into global learning trends.
