When one employee joined Purch, she was tasked with “mission impossible”: to build a learning organization from scratch for an extremely diverse workforce with limited manpower. After extensive analysis, she realized employees were learning much more from informal resources than conventional means. By transforming their mindsets and making smart investments in technology, Purch was able to create a learning organization that boosts engagement and contributes to a healthy learning culture.

In this case-study presentation, you’ll use Purch’s journey to learn about the changing learning habits and demands in today’s workforce—and what L&D professionals of all levels can do to address them efficiently. You’ll explore the benefits of capturing and accounting for informal learning activities. You’ll also get guidance on how to realign your L&D strategy and invest in new technology to support employees’ learning and help them perform better.

• About the changing learning habits and demands of today’s professionals
• How to adjust your learning strategy to include informal learning and invest effectively in learning technology that will assist you
• What benefits you can gain by recognizing informal learning activities
• What L&D professionals of all levels can do to take advantage of informal learning
