It does this by helping people focus on their own interests and ambitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike traditional learning models such as classroom sessions or prescribed courses,&nbsp;self-directed development encourages people to evaluate their needs, set goals, choose the resources most helpful to them and formulate their own strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, it means giving people options \u2014 including how and when learning occurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Employee-driven learning is more effective<\/strong>.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Letting your people take control helps you&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/degreed.com\/experience\/blog\/help-your-people-learn-how-to-learn\/\" target=\"_blank\">build a culture of learning<\/a>&nbsp;that motivates and enables \u2014 supporting a workforce of people skilled for the jobs they have today and those they want for tomorrow. The advantages are numerous:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Employee-driven learning accommodates every type of learner.<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>One-size-fits-all solutions aren\u2019t effective for everyone. Some people learn best from traditional lectures. Others from infographics or video demonstrations. Still others prefer reading articles or taking a hands-on, experiential approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you give employees options and a variety of resources \u2014&nbsp;and the freedom to choose what and how they learn \u2014 they can engage in ways most effective for them.&nbsp;Choice promotes engagement. You\u2019ll be inspiring your people to be curious and, perhaps more importantly, responsible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Passion drives effective learning.<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>When people form an emotional connection to a piece of content or educational material, they\u2019re more likely to retain information about it. According to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/better\/health\/how-get-better-remembering-things-according-neuroscience-ncna882426\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">neuroscience research<\/a>, people remember information better when it&#8217;s connected to something they already know and care about. This is why marketers use storytelling to sell products and services.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this age of broad information access, people&nbsp; are accustomed to searching for and consuming information on topics they\u2019re passionate about \u2014 like&nbsp; baking, day trading and countless other subjects \u2014 using sites like Google and Youtube.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Giving employees the latitude to pursue professional topics in the same manner they pursue their hobbies&nbsp; \u2014 whether it\u2019s leadership skills, time management or new programming languages \u2014 is just as effective as the learning they do in their free time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Buy-in boosts retention.<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Employees are more likely to be loyal to an organization that values their development. Indeed, a lack of learning opportunities regularly ranks as one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mckinsey.com\/capabilities\/people-and-organizational-performance\/our-insights\/the-great-attrition-is-making-hiring-harder-are-you-searching-the-right-talent-pools\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">top reasons&nbsp;people leave one company for another<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Employees want training, and they want that training to be geared toward their individual needs.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/learning.linkedin.com\/content\/dam\/me\/learning\/resources\/pdfs\/LinkedIn-Learning-2020-Workplace-Learning-Report.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Over 75%&nbsp;of employees<\/a> say they want training that is tailored to their personal career goals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let learners tell <em>you<\/em> what matters and you&#8217;ll reduce costly employee turnover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4 Tips for Facilitating Freedom<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Incorporating autonomy and choice into your training strategy might seem tricky. But with the right approach, you can help in a few key ways:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Employ the 70-20-10 model.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Only 10% of learning happens during actual coursework. The rest happens with ongoing coaching and mentoring (20%) and on-the-job experiential learning (70%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure your strategy reflects <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ccl.org\/articles\/leading-effectively-articles\/70-20-10-rule\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the 70-20-10 model<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, help managers understand their direct reports\u2019 goals. This will ensure managers can coach people as needed. Incorporate action plans into development so employees consciously prepare for how they\u2019ll apply new skills on the job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Find the right technology.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seek a dynamic learning solution that supports tailored learning paths. A good learning experience platform (LXP) can integrate other learning platforms and all their content. The right platform will also track learning progress and make recommendations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When <a href=\"https:\/\/degreed.com\/experience\/blog\/4-takeaways-from-ciscos-learning-strategy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cisco leadership wanted to boost employee-driven learning<\/a>, the company used Degreed, which tracked employee learning across multiple platforms. One centralized login made it intuitive for people to see all the options and for Cisco to recommend curated learning paths. The right platform gave employees access to the right content and increased learning engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Use your existing content.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As companies transition to<a href=\"https:\/\/degreed.com\/experience\/blog\/transitioning-to-virtual-learning-program\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&nbsp;virtual learning programs<\/a>, they have greater flexibility and access to more content. Expand your course offerings by tapping into existing online training materials.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A lot of quality content exists out there already, developed by L&D experts and ready to roll out. Give employees more dynamic choices by bringing together different learning platforms and making relevant topics available.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Give people options.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People learn differently, so offer content across a range of media.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/degreed.com\/experience\/blog\/how-atb-financial-is-equipping-its-team-future-skills\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ATB Financial&nbsp;wanted to connect employees<\/a> with relevant learning and resources that fit their personal workflow and learning patterns. Using Degreed, the company\u2019s L&D team gave people courses as well as videos, articles, podcasts and more. This boosted engagement and got upskilling efforts on track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Inspiration doesn\u2019t happen on its own.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The right LXP will provide your people with the resources they need to learn, remember and apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to learn more?&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/degreed.com\/experience\/request-demo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Schedule a personalized Degreed demo today<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The workplace is changing quickly.
