How it works

A learning culture encourages and supports the organization and its employees' ongoing pursuit of knowledge and growth, promotes the sharing of learning with others, and motivates everyone to continually upgrade their knowledge, skills, and abilities. It reflects an organization-wide value, belief system, and behavioral action imperative for employees and leaders. As a core element of an organization’s culture, it significantly enhances its agility, adaptability, and innovation. A strong learning culture has been demonstrated to drive substantially higher levels of innovation, market leadership, productivity, and profitability.

Continuous learning and development are critical for competitive survival, as technological advances pose a persistent threat of skills obsolescence and irrelevance to employees across all roles and functional areas. Employee surveys and engagement research consistently reveal that professional development is a top priority for workers at all levels and a significant driver of engagement, productivity, and retention. As a result, enterprise strategies are needed to establish and sustain a culture where employee development and upskilling are available, actively encouraged, championed, and supported.
