Younger generations place a high value on education and continuous learning and want companies to invest in them and their long-term success.

L&amp;D includes formal and informal learning and continues throughout an employee\u2019s career.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Formal learning includes professional training classes or videos, traditional classroom courses, or enrollment in a certificate or degree program. Companies strongly committed to L&amp;D have resources set aside to fund formal training.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Informal learning is when co-workers observe and practice skills, including mentoring and cross-discipline training. Acknowledging and supporting informal learning reinforces its value to employees. Mature organizations may even put formal support around informal learning, such as a coordinated company-wide mentoring program.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Why Is Learning and Development so Important?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SHRM<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, L&amp;D is especially important to Generation Z workers. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/markcperna\/2022\/04\/12\/why-learning--development-is-now-a-competitive-differentiator-and-how-to-get-on-board\/?sh=1971819430ff\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Forbes<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> says, \u201c76% of employees are more likely to stay with a company that offers continuous training.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, in today\u2019s workforce, there\u2019s no expectation that employees will stay in the same job their entire career, so it\u2019s important to pair L&amp;D with strong retention efforts to keep growing expertise in a company.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Employees realize that continuous learning isn\u2019t only important for their current job but also to prepare them for potential future jobs in other areas. As people grow and learn more about what\u2019s possible in the job market, they often want to pivot their careers to align with changing interests.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Companies should make every effort to aid employees in those career transitions to land them in a new role within the company in their new area of interest. This way, employees can change and grow their careers, and companies won\u2019t lose valuable knowledge and dedicated workers. As they advance and move through the company, these employees often make great mentors for others looking to make similar career changes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to changing jobs, today\u2019s workers are also comfortable with technology and understand that it\u2019s a constantly evolving landscape. New software and hardware versions are released regularly, and from time to time, disruptive events like the release of ChatGPT occur that quickly change how jobs that leverage technology are performed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Employees know that they must stay on top of these changes to stay relevant. They value a company that gives them the resources to maintain their knowledge of the latest technology trends.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While it may seem obvious, it\u2019s worth noting that training improves the bottom line. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/corp.kaltura.com\/blog\/learning-and-development-importance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kaltura<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> shares that \u201ccompanies have reported anywhere between a 14-29% increase in profit\u201d when they use L&amp;D to upskill their employees.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the flip side, not training employees puts a company at risk, particularly in compliance, privacy, safety, and ethics. Training in these areas ensures everyone has a shared understanding of what\u2019s required and minimizes the risk of lawsuits due to gaps in employee knowledge.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Can Learning and Development Increase Engagement?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">L&amp;D puts employees on a path to greater knowledge and expertise, leading to more job responsibility and often higher pay. All of these create a greater sense of confidence and job security that fosters job satisfaction and engagement. Informal learning through peers and mentors also helps employees build their networks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Learning from others is an opportunity to showcase skills and potential or for higher-level leaders to identify skills an employee might not realize they have, which can then be refined through more formal training.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">L&amp;D also creates better engagement with customers through improved customer service. While there\u2019s often self-service customer help online, some people want to talk to a human expert to discuss their problems. Companies that train and empower employees to handle customer conversations effectively have seen up to a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/corp.kaltura.com\/blog\/learning-and-development-importance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">16% increase<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in customer satisfaction.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Learning and Development Strategies<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are many ways to support L&amp;D. The best way to start is by evaluating a company\u2019s existing training and skills to identify what\u2019s working well and where there are gaps, then consider how to improve. Here are some areas to consider, compiled from the author\u2019s work experience, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shrm.org\/membership\/student-resources\/pages\/importance-of-continuous-learning-and-development.aspx#:~:text=Lockhart%2DSpann%20described%20the%20immediate,improved%20performance%22%20for%20emerging%20professionals.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SHRM<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indeed.com\/career-advice\/career-development\/learning-and-development\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Indeed<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Internships and Co-op Programs<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Internships and co-op programs enable college students to spend a summer, semester, or year working at a company. Students get to use the skills learned in the classroom on real-world projects and work alongside industry experts in their field. Some even get to count the work experience toward their graduation credits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Employers get an early look at up-and-coming talent and build up a dynamic pipeline of future hires. And they already know how that talent performs and contributes to their company culture. Pairing new interns with new-in-career employees is also a great way to introduce junior employees to mentoring.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Apprenticeships<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An apprenticeship is similar to an internship or co-op but with more of a focus on learning on the job versus expecting students to come in with a foundational education in the applicable field.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apprenticeships are useful for industries with talent deficits and that are struggling to meet their hiring numbers. With on-the-job-focused learning, employers expand their candidate pool to include individuals with different educational and work backgrounds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, apprenticeship programs can be used to transition retail or customer support employees over to product teams that typically require more technical backgrounds. They can also aid post-military applicants in transitioning from military to civilian work.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apprenticeships typically focus more formally on job training up front, then transition to job placement once the required basic skills are mastered.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Rotational Programs<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another option for early-in-career or cross-discipline transfers is rotational programs. A rotational program allows an employee to perform the same job function for a set period in several parts of a company.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, a finance rotational program might take new hires and have them work for six months in the finance departments of three different divisions. At the end of the final rotation, the employee submits their preference for the division where they\u2019d like to work long-term.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This type of program allows new employees to learn about different parts of the company and choose which group they feel aligns best with their interests and work styles. Similarly, it allows managers to get to know multiple strong candidates and help them decide where they\u2019d perform best in the company.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Onboarding Buddies<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No matter what type of job an employee is starting, having an onboarding buddy is the fastest way to get them up to speed on all the nuances and institutional knowledge of their new team.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An onboarding buddy is a co-worker from the same team who has been on the team for at least one to two years, so they know how the team works and understand any unwritten rules and expectations. But ideally, they haven\u2019t been on the team for more than five years, so they still remember what it\u2019s like to be new and can focus on what\u2019s important without overwhelming a new hire.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Mentors<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A mentor is usually a more senior employee from outside the mentee\u2019s immediate team. It may even be someone from a different part of the company that does a similar job.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This organizational distance between mentee and mentor enables the mentor to offer an outsider\u2019s perspective. Because they\u2019re not as familiar with the daily workload of their mentee, mentors don\u2019t have preconceived notions about how a project should progress and can offer less biased feedback and suggestions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anyone at any level benefits from having a mentor, but they\u2019re especially important for new-in-role employees and employees wanting to advance their careers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When someone starts a new role, it\u2019s helpful to have an experienced person advise on adjusting to the new job demands. Admitting they don\u2019t know how to do something to their managers might be too daunting, so having a mentor outside the reporting chain facilitates more open conversations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For employees who want to advance their careers\u2014either vertically or horizontally\u2014consulting with someone who has made similar changes in their careers can yield valuable insights, both about what steps to take and what opportunities are available in other parts of the company.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, minority employees face unique challenges only understood by people like them. Pairing employees of shared backgrounds together enables deeper conversations around important (but often challenging or private) topics.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Career Plans and Counselors<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having well-defined career paths allows employees to plan their careers and set a clear path toward their goals. Managers must be given the materials and training to understand the potential career paths for their employees so they can have meaningful conversations that accurately reflect how a person can achieve their aspirations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For students, school counselors fill in for managers regarding career conversations. There are also industry career counselors available to professionals. While it\u2019s not common for a company to have career counselors on payroll, employees can still benefit from meeting with a career counselor familiar with their industry.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Career counselors identify skill gaps and ways to fill them in and work with customers to create a career plan growth plan. They also offer an independent assessment of realistic goals and the approximate timeline for achieving them.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Cross-Organization Initiatives<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For companies that want to foster more cross-company cooperation and enable career transitions to retain employees, a thoughtful approach to cross-organization initiatives accomplishes both.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bringing different parts of the company together on projects allows employees to learn how different groups approach and solve problems and get a sense of how other parts of the business are run. They may find that another team\u2019s culture or processes line up better with their working style or skills.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mentoring, internships, apprenticeships, and rotational programs are all L&amp;D strategies that benefit from cross-organization components. For new employees, exposing them to different parts of the company early and letting that inform where they start their full-time careers is an empowering exercise.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Similarly, facilitating cross-organizational mentoring allows employees to expand their knowledge of the long-term career possibilities a company has to offer.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Professional Organizations<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many professions have associations that support networking, mentoring, and continued learning outside of work for the good of the profession. These associations are great ways for employees to make connections across the industry and learn at the same time. Company-sponsored membership to applicable professional associations is an attractive L&amp;D benefit.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Workshops<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For those employees looking to grow particular skills, workshops are a great way to build on their existing knowledge quickly. Professional workshops are typically only a few days to a week in length. They are tailored to working individuals and sometimes even to their specific company. These workshops include an intense focus on training and practicing skills that will be immediately valuable at work.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Professional Development Programs<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For areas of expertise that require ongoing learning, companies should consider sponsoring or bringing in professional development programs. Some careers, such as attorney or doctor, require regular educational updates to maintain a license.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other careers, such as those in tech, have advancement paths in specialized areas that require certifications. This type of formal training is invaluable for keeping employees up-to-date on industry best practices and compliant with professional regulations.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Formal Education<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In some cases, employees will discover gaps in their education after they begin working. Or they might want to pursue a role significantly different from the one they received their original education in.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For these situations, returning to school to obtain a post-graduate or secondary degree might be the best way to ensure the employee gets the foundational education they need to succeed long term. Tuition reimbursement programs are a key differentiator demonstrating a company\u2019s willingness to invest in their employees\u2019 learning and development.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Industry Events<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, industry events are a fun way to learn about new skills while hearing best practices from industry experts in other companies. Learning what other companies are doing and bringing those findings back to their team gives employees new perspectives and gives them the responsibility of sharing their findings with their team.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learning and development are seen as important employee benefits more than ever before, with Forbes stating that \u201c76% of employees are more likely to stay with&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":21564,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":""},"categories":[4003,120,126,1],"tags":[4676,177,4674,266,4673,4675],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>How To Leverage Learning &amp;
