DexIndividual Learning
“Every company faces crisis of some kind. Whatever the crisis, the situation can be summarized as a crisis of learning.”
Employees Want to Learn
Throughout our entire life cycle, the need and motivation to learn and grow is persistent. Evidence of this is found in all aspects of our lives, including the workplace. In a multiyear inquiry to discover the dimensions of a workplace consistent with high levels of employee retention, customer satisfaction, productivity, and profitability, the Gallup Organization (1999) identified having the opportunity to learn and grow as one of twelve dimensions. That is why companies that promote individual learning are attractive to employees.
Avoid a Learning Crisis
Be it financial, technological, or social in nature, every company faces crisis of some kind. Whatever the crisis, the situation can be summarized as a crisis of learning. A crisis of learning occurs when the knowledge and skills required to solve a problem exceeds existing paradigms. Companies that plan for a crisis of learning, mitigate its impact by implementing interventions early and often. Building a learning system can help you target these interventions down to the individual level.
Implement DexIndividual Learning
The basic structure of an organization learning system is made up of individual learners. Organizations are comprised of individuals, after all, so at its heart, organizational learning must arise principally from personal learning. Here are some of the ways DexIndividual Learning partners with your organization to encourage individual learning and growth:
- Design and develop instructional modules to teach and assess key competencies.
- Create and implement an internal coaching program to revitalize personal growth and achieve strategic objectives.
- Utilize the strengths and resources you already have to set up a mentoring program that facilitates learning and builds positive relationships.
- Integrate 360 Feedback methods into performance evaluations to jumpstart personal reflection and change.
- Develop a career planning and development model to increase employee retention and promote from within.
