Help them discover the need.
Help them to reinforce results.
Help them connect learning to their values.
Give them more control.
Answer the "so-what" question.
Challenge the brain more.

Helping Managers Support Workplace Learning

How do we get learning to stick like super glue when the managers have competing priorities?
This is the big question on the table for this week’s Learning Rebels Coffee Chat.
The reality is there are a bazillion things that stand between a learner and learning application – chief of which is their manager. How do get them to support the learning, and even more importantly, how do we get them to apply critical learning reinforcement efforts?
How can we empathize more with the managers balancing act of productivity versus team growth?
How do we get managers involved in the actual training?
How do we involve management in course design?
How can we help build a culture where management involvement is the norm rather than the exception?

Ensuring Learning Stickiness

Ensuring Sticky Learning
 
How can L&D better adjust for "after training" learning reinforcement? How can we level up ongoing learning support?
This is the big question on the table with today’s Learning Rebels Coffee Chat.
Organizational training budgets topped 82.5 BILLION. Billion, with a “B”. So why isn't training getting the job done? A recent Harvard Business Review Report points out that only 12% of learners say they apply the skills from the training they receive to their job. This the issue we are tackling today.
There were so many excellent tips and ideas. Some are fresh ideas and others are best practices reimagined. All very clever!

L&D‘s Role in Communicating Change

Change. It’s hard.The word itself conjures up feelings of panic, frustration, and lots of deja vu. (How much change can one organization go through? SERIOUSLY?) 
But going through organizational change is not a matter of "if" but "when".
Every organization must change over time – to adapt to its marketplace, to build on new ideas and technologies, and to adjust to changing circumstances. (COVID anyone?)
But one thing IS certain - many people are not comfortable with change.
Here the Coffee Chat community discusses what L&D's role is when communicating change.
