Employee Learning Day

Dec 1, 04

Today, December 01 has been declared as Employee Learning Day by ASTD

These are some of the suggestions listed on their site to promote learning:

  • Set up an on-site learning centre with information about learning opportunities within the organization and throughout the community

  • Encourage membership and involvement in a professional association

  • Inform employees about business-critical information so they understand their role in the organization’s future

  • Create individual development plans for employees, making sure that learning is incorporated into all goals

  • Cross-train, or pair up employees and/or departments so they can learn from each other.

    • Many organizations have a ‘happy hour’ every week (letting one’s mind to wonder about the rest of the hours). How about a “Learning Hour” every day, every week? Learning for the joy of learning!

    To continue on the note of learning, read here about how a teacher turns laundry into learning time through an innovative programme called “Wash and Learn”

    I heartily agree to what Sam Decker says, ?What is good for people is good for business”. I wish more businesses saw light!
