Importance of Learning in the Workplace
We know form organizational culture assessment data that winning companies continuously enhance their people’s capability to adapt, grow, and thrive. Even though US corporations spent over $100 billion last year on employee development, our training measurement research found that only 1-in-5 employees change their on-the-job behavior and performance from training alone. To truly develop the skills required for employees to perform at their peak, savvy talent leaders understand that they have to encourage learning at work and that continuous learning needs to be a mainstay of their talent management strategy.

How to Encourage Workplace Learning
Leaders play a critical role in establishing a culture of learning that values and supports personal and professional growth opportunities. Leaders themselves need to regularly and visibly express and demonstrate that continuous learning matters.

With some experts saying that the half-life of skills is only five years, it means that half of what your employees know today will be out-of-date in five years. To sustain a learning advantage, leaders must encourage learning at work by creating a powerful culture of learning that is purposefully modeled, monitored, and rewarded.
