Three strategies for developing connected learners
To compete in an increasingly digital environment, businesses must guarantee that their workforce has the appropriate skills for today and the future, This entails taking into account the talents that the market requires and demonstrating to employees the personal value of gaining these new skills.
Connected learners, like Connector managers, help to build meaningful connections between and among people, teams, and the company. Developing connected learners necessitates a three-pronged approach.
Take a market-driven, predictive approach to skills identification - Gather more objective, expansive and ongoing data on shifting skill needs by diversifying the inputs used for needs analysis. Don’t just rely on conversations with business leaders, who look internally but often lack the big picture. Determining the most pressing skill needs in this way forges a closer connection between employees and the market.
Encourage staff to go above and beyond - Employees must take responsibility for their own professional development, but they frequently feel separated from the organization's development needs. Demonstrate to employees how they will generate personal growth by learning the skills that the company and market require. HR already communicates the business's requirements extensively, and you should continue to do so, but 70% of messages should be dedicated to individual personnel.
Connect employees to skill-building opportunities beyond their roles - Employees may not be able to upskill on-the-job for the abilities they will need to succeed due to the rapid speed of change. Don't only curate fresh learning content and offer self-service development alternatives, which might be confusing and ineffective. Instead, connect individuals to cross-organizational and even extra-organizational skill-building possibilities and broker learning events to expedite new skill development. You can also encourage staff to increase their abilities by using real-world applications.
