This article is about how to drive skills development at your organization with a focus on collaborating on learning. Our “Engage Your Learners” series includes practical tips for scalable and impactful learning.
Dedicate a team meeting to learning together
Reinforce your company’s learning culture by encouraging managers to lead learning moments during team meetings. This could include learning a skill together, examining recent work by a business competitor, inviting a guest speaker, or whatever you can imagine to bring value and energy to recurring meetings.
Match up “learning buddies”
Pair employees with a learning buddy who has similar goals or expertise. They can provide mutual accountability and support as they progress through courses together.
Implement learning ambassadors
Nominate department or team learning ambassadors who encourage colleagues, share tips, and help others navigate the learning platform effectively.
Enable peer-to-peer mentoring
After employees complete courses and demonstrate expertise, encourage them to mentor others who are just starting the same learning path. Teaching reinforces their own knowledge while helping others grow.
Collaborate on cross-industry courses
Demonstrate the organization’s interest in holistic development by promoting courses in emerging areas (E.g., sustainability, AI, cultural intelligence) that employees can apply across various industries.
