SUMMARY:Recognize and Reward: The Impact of Informal Learning Recognition
DESCRIPTION:What if informal learning experiences were as valued and as recognized as formal training? \n  \n  \n  \nYour employees might be more engaged in continuous growth and development!  \n 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. \nBecause 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. \nIn this coffee chat\, we’ll discuss: \n\nWhy recognizing informal learning matters\nYour tips on how to identify and validate these learning experiences\nYour stories about advantages and challenges\n\nBy the end of the chat\, you’ll have some practical ideas on how to appreciate and leverage informal learning\, contributing to a more dynamic and skilled workforce. \n  \nCan’t be there live? We’ve got your back!  \nSimply by registering to attend this “Learn Something New” workshop\, you will receive the following: \n✅ Follow-up email with resources and extra goodies \n✅ Copy of the video recording \n✅ Copy of the chatbox transcription \n✅ Copy of the full session transcript

Whether you’re looking to shake up your current L&D approach or bring in fresh ideas\, this discussion will give you valuable insights on creating a work culture that thrives on collaboration and knowledge sharing. \nJoin us and share your thoughts and experiences as we brainstorm ways to turn daily interactions into rich learning moments. I look forward to seeing you there! \n  \nCan’t be there live?
