Evolve With a Learning Culture: How to increase engagement and reduce turnover with a learning culture (even in remote teams)
Objective: In this workshop, we will tackle the employee crisis and explore how HR and L&D teams can boost engagement and reduce turnover with a strong learning culture. The participants will get hands-on strategies and actionable tips they can use, to build a thriving learning culture, even in remote teams.
The Employee Crisis (5 min)
We will start the workshop by exploring the impact of low engagement and high turnover on businesses across industries. We will analyze relevant research findings and discuss how the shift towards remote working has made it harder for HR and L&D teams to keep engagement high and turnover low.
Learning and Development is the Solution (5 min)
In this part of the workshop, we’ll dive into a wealth of evidence showing how Learning and Development can significantly boost employee engagement and decrease turnover rates. We’ll also discuss why, despite these benefits, some companies hesitate to fully commit to L&D initiatives due to the challenges in execution and concerns over investment returns.
I’ll argue that establishing a strong learning culture is a strategic move to enhance the effectiveness of L&D efforts and ensure that any investment in L&D delivers maximum value. This approach not only addresses the immediate challenges but also lays the groundwork for sustained organizational growth and employee satisfaction.
