How do I ensure that employees have the skills that the business needs to succeed? How can I use insights from neuroscience to motivate and engage the workforce in learning and foster a culture of continuous development? This book shows you how. The Learning Organization is a practical book which shows senior learning and development (L&D) professionals how to develop a learning culture that will upskill, develop and engage employees. It explains why traditional corporate learning models are costly and ineffective and outlines the business case for self-directed learning. This book covers how people learn and explains the science behind self-directed learning including the neuroscience of motivation, memory, cognitive load and behaviour change. It also explores how learning habits can be formed and sustained in the workplace. Written by a leading voice in the L&D space, The Learning Organization provides guidance on how L&D must transition from content providers to learning enablers, explains that technology can facilitate learning but is not the solution and offers advice on how to create a culture of continuous learning throughout the whole organization. This book covers how to measure the impact of self-directed learning and address potential concerns from employees about this approach. There is also essential guidance on how to ensure that self-directed learning is accessible to all, and bias-free.
