Webinar Recording: TAE PD Week - Enhancing Learning in the Workplace 2

Recorded on 4/12/2020 and forming part of the TAE PD Week, this webinar examined how to create the balance when planning, organising and facilitating learning for individuals in a workplace, and showed how using real work activities as the basis for learning can create more authentic outcomes.

Topic overview

There is often a mismatch between how individuals acquire new knowledge and skills and what organisations focus on and value. Modern workplace learning, therefore, requires an approach that aims to bridge this gap and necessitates a new learning mindset that views learning at work very differently than in the past. Workplace learning can improve employee performance by giving them the means to grow with the company and contribute to a culture built around performance and can also provide a very powerful way for individuals to learn what they want to and need to, in order to be effective in their job. However, this learning still needs to be structured and personalised to reflect both the learners’ needs and workplace context.

This webinar examined how to create this balance when planning, organising and facilitating learning for individuals in a workplace, and shows how using real work activities as the basis for learning can create more authentic outcomes. Furthermore, it will specifically explained how to establish, develop and maintain appropriate facilitation relationships as well as explore ways to close and evaluate the journey.
