How To Design Learning That Makes a Difference: Event Hosted by Philosophy Alumni Nick Shackleton-Jones
Join renowned learning and development specialist, Nick Shackleton-Jones, as he explains the importance of delivering a 鈥楻eturn on Experience鈥� through onboarding and training programmes. How to design learning that makes a difference
Workplace culture has changed. The shift toward hybrid working has seen a major shift in how employers engage with their team, from the onboarding process right through to learning and development programmes. On top of this, recent research by PwC suggests that 20% of UK workers expect to leave their current job for a new employer in the next 12 months.
This has resulted in a need for businesses to reset their thinking, designing workplace programmes – and therefore cultures – to focus on experiences. While this is a big challenge facing most organisations, it also serves as an opportunity for learning & development departments. How can programmes change to meet the current needs of today鈥檚 workforce? And what role should learning & development play?
In this exclusive event, renowned learning & development specialist, Nick Shackleton-Jones, helps to explain the importance of 鈥楻eturn on Experience鈥� when designing training and onboarding programmes.
In this 50-minute event, Nick Shackleton-Jones will explain:
路 Why we struggle to see a return on expectations
路 A new model of learning
路 Human-centred learning design
路 Examples of award-winning onboarding work
