Seven Strategies to Help You Create an Effective Workplace Learning Culture

Did you know that 2/3 of employees have left a job because of a lack of career growth?

And 90% of them would have stayed if they had a clear picture of how they could learn and grow with their organization!

Additional research by McKinsey & Company found that between April 2021 and April 2022, the #1 reason people gave for leaving their previous jobs was inadequate career development and advancement opportunities.

And findings from a recent Gallup survey study (commissioned by Amazon) found 65% of workers say the opportunity to participate in an upskilling program is an “extremely” or “very” important factor in evaluating an organization and deciding whether to take a new job.

It's pretty clear that people want opportunities to learn, both to further deepen their current skills and learn new ones to help them progress in their career. This is important: as employees enhance their skills, they become more productive, benefiting both the individuals and the organization as a whole.

It isn’t, however, always easy to know the best ways to create meaningful opportunities for growth.
