537 ON-DEMAND: Building a Culture of Learning in a Remote Team

3:00 PM - 4:00 PM Friday, October 23

DDX On-Demand sessions are recorded videos you can access starting at this date and time and watch at your own convenience.

Whether your workforce is completely remote, in the office daily, or somewhere in between, continuous training and learning is essential for every team. However, organizations can benefit further by creating a culture of learning in the workplace that not only empowers learners and maximizes learning outcomes, but ultimately helps companies realize the full potential of their training programs. So how do you build that culture, especially when your team is remote?

Over half of the US population holds a job that is compatible with remote working at least part of the time, and these numbers are only growing with more companies moving online due to COVID-19. Building a successful culture of learning is not only possible in a remote work environment, but it can be built to be just as strong, if not stronger, than one in a traditional workplace setting.
In this session, we will explore the advantages of building a culture of learning, including the positive effects around employee retention as well as the financial benefits it can offer. Additionally, we will dive into the essential aspects of building a culture of learning including leadership buy-in, employee incentivization, company-wide initiatives, and picking the right technology to support your training goals. Lastly, eThink CEO Brian Carlson will share his own insights on what has worked for his remote company in the hopes you can take away some ideas to implement for your own team.

In this session, you will learn:

  • The importance of a culture of learning in the workplace (even a remote one)
  • Strategies that can be utilized to create an engaging learning experience for all types of learners
  • The importance of technology choice in building a culture of learning for remote teams
  • How to identify and implement company-wide learning initiatives as an essential piece of your learning strategy

Audience:

Managers, senior leaders

Technology discussed:

Learning management systems, virtual meeting tools
