If you are a manager and you want an increase in your employees’ engagement and productivity, you need to become an active agent in their learning. You can’t leave learning entirely to HR, the CLO, or any other training professionals in your organization. They should not and cannot be the sole source of new knowledge and skills. They don’t have the time and resources to be continuous facilitators of employee learning and performance improvement and they aren’t close enough to the action on a day-to-day basis to provide instructional experiences when and where they will have the most impact.

However, as a manager, you can make a difference in employee learning and, therefore, engagement and productivity by creating a “learning alliance” with your direct reports. You know their learning needs and you are in a position to make an immediate and lasting difference in their performance.

In this webinar, Stephen J. Gill will describe the four major trends that make your role as a facilitator of employee learning essential now and in the coming years. He will also talk about what you can do to prepare yourself for this role and how you can know if you are being effective.

Dial in, share your experiences… and then apply what you’ve learned to increase employee engagement and productivity in your organization.
