360Learning - It’s that time of year

What a year it has been. Chances are you’ve experienced ups and downs, if not an all-out rollercoaster. Hopefully, you’ve taken some vacation days, and had a chance to rest and reset.

Sure, 2022 will bring onboarding programs to organize and performance appraisals to go over. But perhaps right now you have some downtime, and a chance to reflect: How did you feel about working (or not working) remotely? Were you able to integrate work-from-home-friendly, asynchronous learning into your L&D programs? What have you learned from these past 12 months that you can put to use in the future?

And of course, the end of the year means assessing how you stack up. Did you achieve what you had hoped for this year, both personally and professionally? What about the employee development program at your workplace—is it where you’d like it to be? What are you excited to dive into in January?

No matter where you land on these questions, the good news is 2022 is just around the corner—and that means a fresh start, new challenges, and lots of opportunities to learn, grow, and be your best self.
