5 Tips to transform your employee Learning Processes

Lately, executives and leaders of many companies have begun to realize that quality learning provided in the workplace environment is one of the factors that can help attract valuable candidates, make working in the company more engaging, and help retain talent.

The ubiquity of various mobile devices featuring round-the-clock internet access makes learning an activity one can participate in anywhere, anytime. These days, you can learn anything online. One can easily find a video or a podcast on any topic, created by the leading professionals in the field, and obtain new skills – or even an academic degree – without leaving one’s desk, or while drinking coffee in a café.

In turn, the employees now understand better than ever that their pay grade is very much related to their learning curve, and demand the employer to provide the ability for dynamic learning in the workplace.

In conclusion, we’d like to offer a few recommendations that will help you begin evolving the training processes in your organization:

1. Acknowledge That Every Employee Knows Best In Which Direction To Take Their Learning. 

Companies interested in stimulating the professional growth of employees must look for ways of improving the user experience of their educational programs and initiatives. Treat employees as customers, whose needs must be met, instead of students that must be pushed through standardized classes.

2.Reject Top-Down Education In Favor Of Bottom-Up.

The transition to the student-centered model of education demands a significant mental shift within the organization. Relinquishing total control over the educational content, schedule, and the choice of learning platforms is hard, but it is necessary for transitioning to the new paradigm, and is rewarded with the improved learning efficiency.

3.Use Technology To Direct Your Employees’ Self-Learning.

Mobile, social, and cloud platforms providing services related to self-learning must become an integral part of your new learning programs. Good learning platforms enable you to integrate all types of content, and give both students and trainers a handy way of managing learning content and adding to it. Keep an eye on innovational offerings from vendors new to the market to keep your learning environment in top shape.

4.Adopt The Continuous Education Model.

Foster a corporate culture that gives employees access to the necessary educational resources at any stage of their career.

5.Choose The Learning Paradigm That Supports An Extended Development Vision.

Consider the meaning of the word “development” and the vision of an employee’s professional growth within your organization. If no such vision exists, you need to create it and communicate it to all employees.
