Preparing for life after lockdown

Karen Bates, People Director, BrewDog

James Earl, Executive Director, The Skills Network

PLEASE NOTE: This LSG webinar was meant to take place on Thursday 15 April at 12 pm BST. Due to a technical issue, we have to reschedule it. We will communicate the new date soon. 

Are your employees ready to return to work? Some will be happy to, while others may feel disconnected and nervous. Yet employers want all staff to feel valuable members of the team, even after a year’s absence.

In this session, you will learn how The Skills Network (TSN) and Brewdog are looking at supporting staff for life during and after lockdown. Executive Director at TSN, James Earl and BrewDog’s People Director, Karen Bates, will discuss how TSN are supporting BrewDog with retraining and redeveloping their staff.

  • What is the Brewdog Academy?
  • Plans for now and the future
  • Apprenticeships and using the levy
  • Accessing government funding to upskill during lockdown and furlough.

Making personalized, collaborative learning a reality 
Joel Hellermark, CEO & Founder, Sana Labs 
 
Collaboration and personalisation are two trends that dominate contemporary thinking about workplace learning. 
 
Collaborative learning involves synchronous, interactive live sessions with groups of learners, and is powered by social dynamics and community. 
 
Personalization focuses on self-paced instruction that responds to the unique needs of every learner, and is powered and scaled by AI. 
 
Is it possible to combine these two? According to Joel it is. In this session, he will explore what it means to combine these two approaches in entirely new ways—using social dynamics to increase engagement while responding to each learner’s needs to improve learning outcomes. Join us to explore the exciting possibilities of personalized, collaborative learning.
