The only New Year’s resolution that matters

2023 is the year to make work work for you. Not just with flexible remote policies, but by practicing autonomous work and bidding adieu to traditional top-down management styles. 

Workplaces with cultures of low authority and high accountability see higher employee retention and better business outcomes–two major priorities for many companies in the New Year ahead. 

But in 2023, growth is about more than just chasing bigger numbers. It’s about doing more with less–and that means teaching and engaging your people to work in alignment towards key business objectives. After all, humans are social creatures who want to connect and grow together.

This week, we’re excited to share valuable insights on cost-effective strategies like peer mentoring, course evaluations, and how we built our very own IT data pipeline at 360Learning. 

And speaking of connecting, now is the perfect time to join our L&D Collective, or reach out to us on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter!
