Equipped the blend?

What’s the connection between Netflix and blended learning? At first glance, the US entertainment company which streams online movies and TV shows have little to do with corporate training. But it’s all about expectations. We live in an on-demand world, where the things we want are just a click away. And learning has to follow suit.

Leaders Leading Learning

It’s a notion we’ve heard time and again, but the digital age has truly disrupted almost everything in our personal and professional lives. This has been no different for leaders, who have had to develop and tailor their management styles to adjust to new ways of working brought on by technological advancement and globalisation. So much data is now collected that the information available to us has real power to influence future decisions, meaning that leading and learning have become inherently linked to one another. Consequently, the traits required to lead today are different from those needed five, 10, or 15 years ago – creating a need for leaders to upskill, challenge behaviours and change ways of thinking.

How to create a buzz around learning

Employees can sometimes feel like passengers - or even prisoners - rather than truly engaged participants in learning programmes. If they've been sent a link, pushed to take part by someone else or if they're coasting through without really connecting with the content on an emotional level, it's unlikely they'll be engaged and apply what they learn back in the workplace.

Diversity & inclusion

For almost 80 years, we have understood the motivating power of a sense of belonging. In 1943, Abraham Maslow posited that people were motivated by an ascending hierarchy of needs. Once our physiological and safety needs are met, the next most basic need has to do with what Maslow called love and belonging. In line with Maslow’s research, continuing studies show that when people feel a sense of belonging, they are more productive, motivated and engaged. The challenge for any organisation is how to address individual behaviours that inhibit belonging and how to develop behaviours that support that sense of belonging. Hemsley Fraser can help your teams and employees understand their role in building a workplace in which everyone feels that sense of belonging and in which the importance of valuing the unique contributions of each individual is clearly articulated. We know you choose to do this because it’s the right thing to do, but we also help you articulate the sound business reasons for these actions.
