This article will help you drive skills development at your organization with a focus on assigning learning. Our “Engage Your Learners” series includes practical tips for scalable and impactful learning.
Assign 3 courses each quarter
Ask your employees to choose the first course, managers can choose the second course based on what skills they’d like their employee to develop, and your HR team should choose the third course to promote company-wide learning.
Create learning paths using Udemy AI tools
Create and assign a targeted, tailored learning path using our AI-powered learning path tool. Creating a path takes minutes, not hours!
Set up a Drop Everything And Learn (DEAL) hour
Schedule a dedicated monthly hour of learning for your entire organization. To maximize impact, consider implementing DEAL hour within individual functions or business units.
Reserve 5 minutes for daily learning
Even short, consistent time spent learning can advance your workforce’s skills. Schedule five minutes every morning on your team’s calendars for learning. That’s 25 minutes per week and 100 minutes per month. Plus, it helps make learning part of a daily work routine.
Introduce the 10/5 learning method
Expand upon your existing five minutes of daily learning with the 10/5 rule. That is, reserving 10 minutes at 10 am and five minutes at 5 pm every day for learning. This helps employees stay consistent and build a learning habit that bookends the work day.
Schedule learning reminders
Set up regular reminders within Udemy Business that encourage employees to pick up where they left off — or start developing a new skill.
Incorporate learning into performance reviews
This is a strategic way for managers and direct reports to select courses together based on where the employee wants to grow and where their manager feels the employee could develop their skills further.
Use company badges
Use Udemy company badges to build a career development journey. Udemy company badges recognize and celebrate employee learning achievements, helping to boost motivation, showcase skills development, and foster a culture of continuous learning.
Assign courses with team-based learning assignments
Assign courses that require a collaborative output, such as working on a shared project or solving a business case study. This encourages teamwork while ensuring skills application.
Tie learning to organizational objectives
Connect learning directly with measurable objectives, such as improving specific team metrics (objectives and key results) or individual key performance indicators (KPIs). This bridges the gap between learning and real-world outcomes.
