Though most people see the importance in learning, only a minority actually seek to develop themselves, despite soft skills becoming increasingly in demand by employers. This article was included in the Digital Learning report that was featured in The Times.
Put a group of strangers together, ask them to work side-by-side in the same building or office for eight hours each day, and you’re bound to have some conflict. Now imagine that group containing people from different generations, all with different values and views of the world, the amount of conflict can greatly multiply. So, you’ve got quite the challenge there. However, managing and motivating a diverse workforce doesn’t necessarily have to be a predicament. With the right skills, mindset and tools your managers can become the glue that keeps everyone together. So, let’s make the following tips stick(y)!
Will I lose my job to robots? Will more talented individual take my job? This might be questions that are popping up in your employees' heads. But is that how it will be? And did the recent shakeup that occurred due to the global pandemic, cause a major shift in the way we think and do our work? For some industries, the fear of the future of work is looming; however, for others, they know the importance of human emotions and value the loyalty and hard work of their employees. So how can you shake that fear of loss from your employees? There are 2 options that you can explore: upskilling or reskilling. They sound the same, but don't get confused: their journey to the end goal is different. Which of these applies to your company and how can you start to implement these and prepare for the future?
Productivity, work attendance, engagement and creativity. In a context where the health crisis and remote working have profoundly changed the organisation of work, the question of health and well-being at work is more present than ever in discussions. According to a study by CIPD, 77% of respondents believe their organisation actively promotes good mental wellbeing; however, just half believe it's effective in addressing workplace stress or in identifying and managing the mental health risks that have been caused by the pandemic. However, is the employer the only one who can contribute to it?
Mental wellbeing: who doesn't want to achieve it? And yet, life presents us with so many obstacles, large and small, that we believe this is an almost impossible task. But what if the trick to feeling good is to choose to focus on activities and thoughts that increase positive emotions, rather than just trying to eliminate sources of discomfort? The PERMA model identifies the 5 dimensions that contribute to building well-being and resilience in individuals. And which can also be applied in a professional context.
A leader. An employee. And a conversation between both. Although the elements are clear as day, hundreds of variants are conceivable in the execution of the conversation cycle. And the more managers and employees within your organisation, the more difficult it is for HR to keep a grip on the content of those conversations. How do you ensure that the development of the employee is central? And how do you make agreements about the learning path they take? We sat down and asked two organisations that have been working with GoodHabitz for quite some time. Let's start by hearing from the Municipality of Bladel in the Netherlands.
For many organisations, Human resources has been quite occupied with many important tasks and decisions regarding their organisations. One topic, retraining or reorientation the talents of employees, may not be at the top of HR's list. But given the current climate and the constant changes in the workplace, it is is precisely the time to focus on this topic.
"How do you actually make those courses?" If we got a pound for each time we were asked that question, we could buy a Van Gogh (a little one) by now.
