THE LEARNING JOURNEY
Learning must be thoughtfully considered
throughout the employee lifecycle -
from preboarding to onboarding to
professional development and career
transitions. Many employees have a
desire for growth and want to see their
skill sets evolve as they progress in
their careers. Training professionals
have an incredible opportunity to
nurture this development by ensuring
training programs are available to
support employees at every stage of
their career journey.
LEVERAGING
EMPLOYEE
PASSION CAN
UNLEASH LIMITLESS
POTENTIAL FOR
THE ORGANIZATION.
Since every individual's interests, goals
and aspirations are unique, supporting
an employee's learning journey can be
challenging. Learning and development
(L&D) must work to identify the skills and
experiences necessary to perform job
roles and make that information visible
to employees. Connecting learning
to internal career mobility enables
employees to grow at the company and
stay longer. And in today's job market,
organizations need to invest in their people
or risk losing them to the competition.
Leaders play a critical role in the
development of their employees.
Creating development maps can help
employees identify their career goals
and create a roadmap to achieve
those goals. Listening is an extremely
powerful tool - listening to the
challenges of employees, listening to
their passion, listening to their wants
and needs. All this information can
help managers advocate for their
employees, recommend them for
new opportunities and give them the
support they need to grow.
The cover story for this issue of
Training Industry Magazine examines
the integral role of onboarding in
shaping the employee experience.
This introduction to the company is
incredibly important in helping the
employee feel a sense of belonging
and generate excitement around
the work they will be doing, which
is necessary to improve employee
engagement and retention. This edition
also examines topics on amplifying
role-based skills training, experiential
and mobile learning, and leveraging
training to connect employees across
the business.
I hope this edition of Training Industry
Magazine provides you with some
tips and insights to create learning
experiences that allow your employees to
grow and transform at every stage of their
career journey. Leveraging employee
passion can unleash limitless potential for
the organization. How we channel that
passion is going to be key to success.
As always, we love to hear your thoughts,
so please reach out to our team and let us
know how you're channeling the passion
of your employees through learning.
