What if informal learning experiences were as valued and as recognized as formal training?
Your employees might be more engaged in continuous growth and development!
Informal learning recognition is all about acknowledging and valuing the skills and knowledge people gain outside of traditional (formal) training programs. This includes learning from everyday experiences like on-the-job training, self-study, community activities, and even outside hobbies.
Because information is constantly swirling around us, we can’t help but pick up new skills and knowledge through daily tasks and personal interests. The question becomes how can we recognize this type of informal learning beyond expensive (and difficult to implement) learning record stores (LRS). Recognizing this type of learning is important because it validates team member’s efforts and boosts motivation and engagement. It also helps connect formal training with real-world applications by rewarding the actions and behaviors changed. This helps make large strides that all learning is valued and used effectively.
In this coffee chat, we’ll discuss:
- Why recognizing informal learning matters
