Maximizing Workplace Engagement to Close Skill Gaps
Shawn Burson, VP, Knowbly
Employees want to learn, and they want to learn on the job. But, the biggest challenge that talent development faces is getting employees to not only make time for learning but also provide employees with the "permission" to take that time and to properly engage in the training. This webinar will explain how to leverage learning theories to maximize workplace learning engagement and empower your employees to immerse themselves in the training you provide. You’ll explore:
- Why employees demand learning and development resources but don't make time to learn
- How traditional learning theories such as Behaviorism, Connectivism, and Constructivism can be employed in creating engagement
- How modern adult learning theory creates new rules for workplace learning
- Three modern examples of these techniques in action
- Whether we can truly learn or employ any technique(s) from the gaming industry
