Agile Performance & Learning

Redefining HR Workshop

Learning agility is one of the most important traits of successful people leaders navigating the new world of work.

How do you think about learning? How do make time for it? How do you prioritize it? Where and how do you seek it out?

As HR and people practitioners navigating all the change and volatility in today’s world of work, the answers to the above questions couldn’t be more important.

We talk a lot about the importance of a growth mindset. This is particularly true in HR where our field is evolving at an accelerating pace.

This workshop chapter is designed to help you connect with perspectives and resources to reinforce and support the importance of prioritizing learning in your own career and across your organization.

Tips, prompts, and suggestions to help you assess and build a culture of performance and learning

How does learning happen in your organization today?
What role do your executives have in setting top-down examples for learning and performance?
Are you using tools like OKRs to provide focus and clarity on work and expectations?
Do you role-model learning and growth mindset from executive leadership down and bottom-up?
Consider building a “learning lab” of resources, articles, links, etc in Slack or other digital channels.
Support your managers in having ongoing conversations with clear goals and expectations. Stress the importance of managers as roadblock removers.
