About LDP Connect
LDP Connect facilitates collaboration among the community of corporate professionals who grow early-career hires into leaders. Do you support an early-career talent development program at your organization? You're doing important work. LDP Connect is here to help. In 2012, LDP Connect inaugurated the annual LDP Summit® – a best practices conference featuring case studies of innovations, group brainstorming sessions, benchmarking data on program practices, and networking & idea sharing. With the input of the community, LDP Connect later launched the LDP Survey – a biennial assessment of how organizations manage and evaluate their development programs for early career hires. The LDP Survey captures data on retention, compensation, off-boarding, recruitment, evaluation, staff ratios, mentoring, budgeting and many other practices related to running development programs. In 2017, LDP Connect announced the launch of the LDP Award, which recognizes practitioners in the space who have brought innovation to development programs for early career hires. To stay abreast of news and activities within the community, we invite you to become a member and enjoy access to the expertise of other members along with discounts to all that LDP Connect has to offer. Our membership directory puts a network of hundreds of peers in your pocket. Our Peer Circle Forum is a place to get answers to your toughest questions, and share learnings. Interested in becoming a member? See https://www.ldpconnect.com/membership/ for more information. LDP Connect exists because of the many contributions its stakeholders have made over the years. We welcome the feedback of the development program community, and adapt our offerings to meet your most pressing needs. Welcome!
