Meeting CPD and compliance obligations used to be a seasonal task. Now, it’s a year-round balancing act.
For Learning and Development (L&D) professionals, Training Managers, and Practice Managers, the landscape has shifted dramatically. From tighter budgets to changing compliance standards and remote workforce expectations, the pressure to deliver meaningful, measurable CPD has never been greater.
At Legalwise, we hear this daily from the professionals we support. So, what’s really making CPD harder in 2025 — and how can you make it easier?
Shrinking Budgets, Rising Expectations
It’s a familiar story: funding hasn’t increased, but the list of training requirements has.
Managers are expected to deliver CPD that:
- Meets mandatory legal and industry obligations,
- Enhances employee skills and retention, and
- Supports leadership, wellbeing, inclusion, and ESG priorities.
Doing all of that within a static or shrinking budget? That’s the reality many professionals are facing.
Too Much to Do, Too Little Time
Staff are time-poor. Whether you’re working with fee earners, educators, or senior leadership teams, finding time for training is a challenge.
Even when CPD is scheduled, it’s often the first thing to fall off the calendar when urgent client or operational matters arise. Meanwhile, managers are stuck chasing completions, juggling spreadsheets, and answering “where’s the link again?” emails.
Training Fatigue is Real
Let’s face it: tick-box training doesn’t inspire teams.
Employees are more discerning. They want content that’s engaging, useful, and tailored to their roles—not another outdated PDF or monotone presentation. But creating or sourcing that level of quality can feel out of reach without a dedicated training team or big-ticket budget.
