    Guild partners with NewtonX to reveal how leading HR teams turn learning into business impact

    Guild teamed up with NewtonX to survey 500 HR and L&D leaders across industries like healthcare, tech, finance, and retail. The goal? Understand how today’s most effective teams are turning learning into a strategic business driver.

    The standout finding: L&D leaders who align learning with business strategy are 122% more likely to meet their top goals.

    These leaders—Guild calls them Difference Makers—aren’t just managing training. They’re embedded in business planning, influencing the C-suite, and backing up their work with hard data.
