360Learning - Where to find the best L&D answers

Upskilling from within doesn’t have to be an uphill battle. As the saying goes: growth happens outside our comfort zones, and stretching beforehand helps us perform even better. For companies, that means challenging the limits of what your talent is capable of, by offering rewarding stretch assignments to grow and develop internally.

But effective learning isn’t one-size fits all, as more L&D teams face new challenges in balancing training programs that are equally focused on business performance versus professional career development. The key is tailoring learning design and experiences to each department, and even to individual roles. Case in point: creating results-driven sales training that also fosters a sense of team spirit and community.

So what can stakeholders expect when the company invests in employees’ long-term growth from the start? The simple answer: a workforce of highly motivated and engaged team members who are truly committed to winning together. 

And speaking of winning together, come and join over 2,700 learning leaders in the L&D Collective. Or you reach out to us anytime on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter!

Tight budgets and rapid industry changes have prompted leaders to focus on training that has a direct impact on business needs. And with fewer resources to hire externally, upskilling is a key strategy for L&D teams to do more with less. To help you drive stronger business impact, we asked experts from the L&D Collective to share their tried-and-true tips on upskilling within any organization.

69% of employees who experience a smooth transition into their new role are more likely to stay with the company for at least three years.

In virtual workplaces, this phase is even more critical to set new employees up for success and productivity–and to lay the groundwork for long-term career development within the organization.
