Learning shouldn't end at the office door

Teach staff new skills and improve their knowledge

When people hit the office environment, they often assume that their learning days are behind them. In reality, a good business should always keep teaching its staff new skills and improve their knowledge. This not only keeps them engaged, but it can help grow their skills and develop new roles in the company or set them up for a brighter future.

Teaching for the future

Learning can take the form of college courses, online teaching, in-house guidance from people with knowledge to impart, but increasingly can also be done through intranet-style resources. Companies can get their workers to add knowledge or create discussions online to help people understand the company's products, services, ambitions or future projects.

By sharing information together, by creating forums where workers can add their own nuggets of information or add research from other sources, everyone can benefit. This repository of growing information can help all workers understand the direction of a company - it allows them to become engaged in what the business is doing, and to make suggestions directly into a forum where everyone can see, not just some anonymous suggestion box.

Leaders can find the positive contributions

Whatever format your knowledge-sharing discussions take, company bosses can see those willing to contribute to debates, find the ideas-people in the business, and can uncover skills in their workers that they may not have demonstrated otherwise. It can also show those who don't want to get involved and the business can help them either come out of their shell or find other ways to get them involved.
