[OA.PPD.5] Recognize and reward continuous learning
Category: RECOMMENDED
Establish measurable learning targets, including stretch goals, and design meaningful reward systems to encourage team members to meet their set targets. Regularly provide feedback and progress assessments, which keeps employees aligned with their learning goals. Emphasize the significance of soft skills training and how they correlate with the broader business and team goals. Celebrate and broadly acknowledge individual and team accomplishments related to learning and skill development to reinforce the organization's commitment to fostering a culture of continuous learning.
Encourage individuals to pursue relevant certifications that align to their roles and responsibilities to validate their expertise and keep up to date with latest technologies and best practices. Consider financial incentives or reimbursements for successfully obtaining a certification to further motive team members to invest in their continued learning. Organizations can also host regular internal training sessions, workshops, or mentorship programs to facilitate individuals learning from one-another and help accelerate learning through collaboration. Exemplary organizations tend to introduce immersive experiential learning platforms that develop skills through simulation, hands-on problem solving, and gamification.
