This article is about how to drive skills development at your organization with a focus on sharing ideas and achievements. Our “Engage Your Learners” series includes practical tips for scalable and impactful learning.
Share top courses within your company
Dig into your learning platform analytics to identify popular courses, and share that list with employees. By doing this on a regular basis, you’ll help employees answer the question: “What do I learn next?”
Reveal top company learners
Recognize your company’s power learners and make those employees your top learning advocates. Whether it’s a call-out in a company meeting or an announcement of the quarter’s most prolific learners in an internal forum, show gratitude for those already engaged in learning. Other employees will take notice of the value placed on learning and follow suit.
Share success stories
Highlight employees who have benefited significantly from upskilling efforts on Udemy Business. Sharing their before-and-after stories can inspire others to develop their skills, too.
Highlight the return on investment of learning with metrics
Regularly showcase ROI-driven insights, such as collective skills progression or productivity gains, so employees see how their individual efforts are making an organizational impact.
Highlight new courses
Regularly share the latest courses and content with your workforce so that employees know there’s something new to learn when they log in. Find these courses in the category and subcategory pages by going to the Explore menu.
Share Smart Tips courses
Encourage employees to enroll in a micro-learning course by searching for “Smart Tips” on the Udemy platform. These bite-sized courses have lectures that are 2–5 minutes long. Lectures can be taken in any order. These courses are designed to help people reach goals, reinforce learning, and apply new skills quickly.
Encourage learning that benefits the whole employee
Learning skills that promote mental resilience, such as stress reduction, mindful breathing, fitness, and growth mindset, help employees bring their best selves to work. Discover an array of health and well-being courses on Udemy and assign one each quarter.
Create an internal learning channel
If your company uses an instant messaging platform for internal communication, create a channel or community where employees can discuss what they learn. Schedule weekly prompts that encourage employees to share what they’re currently learning, why they enrolled in a new course, or how a new skill is helping at work.
