Our community can’t grow without you! Start a thread, join a discussion, share resources, and get involved. Engage in discussions with talent development professionals to learn about new techniques, new content or topics that are of interest to you, find peer groups who are facing similar professional challenges, and share success stories with each other. This community is a great place to grow your professional network and find resources that help you build your career.
Respect others
Focus on the content of posts and not on the people making them. Extend the benefit of the doubt to newer guests and members; all questions are welcome. Any statements or materials that defame, harass, abuse, stalk, threaten, intimidate, or in any way violate the rights of others are strictly prohibited.
Keep it appropriate
Any statements or materials that are or are perceived to be vulgar, obscene, profane, bigoted, hateful, political, religious, or racially offensive are strictly prohibited. ATD is committed to providing a professional, friendly, and welcoming community for all regardless of gender, sexual orientation, disability, race, ethnicity, religion, national origin, or other protected classes.
No self-promotion outside of dedicated spaces
