What is Employee Learning Week?
The American Society for Training & Development (ASTD) created Employee Learning Week as an opportunity for organizations and chapters to demonstrate their commitment to employee learning and to emphasize the connection between a highly skilled workforce and organizational results.
What can I do to recognize it?
Employee Learning Week is the perfect opportunity to focus on your own learning and skills development. Here are a few ideas:
- Attend a course or program that will help you enhance your skills
- Join and become active in a professional organization
- Become a mentor to a colleague in or outside the office
- Learn more about training opportunities in your industry and community
If I am in the learning department, what can my organization do that week?
It doesn't have to be complicated or expensive! Here are some ideas:
- Highlight existing learning programs in your organization
- Remind employees about tuition reimbursement benefits
- Hold an education fair or “lunch and learn” to remind employees about training opportunities
- Start an employee learning awards program in your organization
- Send an email to employees each day of the week with a new learning tip
- Involve the CEO or senior executives in recognizing the value learning brings to the organization
