What do we need to learn about learning at work? With Professor Nick van Dam and Heike Dekker-Schäch

You learn something new every day. At least, that's how the saying goes. But it's not always how the reality goes – particularly when it comes to our work.   Even though 84% of us feel like learning adds more purpose to our work, demanding deadlines and overflowing inboxes often stop us from finding time to focus on our own development. But being given the time and space to learn new things can lead to some seriously good things, like new opportunities, career growth and improved mental wellbeing. And what's good for us, is good for business too. In fact, research shows that organisations who invest in learning and development are 59% more likely to experience growth. Which could be why workplace learning is back on the agenda. Once associated with bad coffee and badly lit conference rooms, it's now benefiting from better technology and better understanding of the different ways in which we learn.   So, what needs to happen to ensure that learning doesn't keep getting moved to the bottom of our to-do list? And instead, it becomes a continuous process that's rewarding for both individuals and the businesses they work for? That's what we're exploring with guests Professor Nick van Dam, Chief of the IE University Center for Corporate Learning Innovation, and Heike Dekker-Schäch, Dean at Deloitte University, in this episode of The Green Room, as we ask: How can learning be part of our everyday work? Tune in to find out:  Whether 'on the job' really is the best way to learn What a 'learning climate' is and how businesses can influence it Why we all need to consider the next chapter of our careers – regardless of our age How workplace learning is linked to business success Enjoyed this episode?
