Today is World Mental Health Day 🧠 And what’s super interesting is that within the realm of L&D, mental health is being viewed as a skill that employees can develop. It starts with someone learning who they are. Employees can begin seeing their own behaviour, and start being kinder to themselves about their patterns 💡 It’s a learning journey that develops with curiosity and a drive to understand how everything works. What is motivating you? ✅ What is driving the dynamics of the people around you? ✅ What are your personal values? ✅ What gives you energy and what doesn’t fit you? ✅ Fair to say that mental health and mental wellbeing continue to be topics of paramount importance in organisations – and perceptions are evolving all the time. Especially in the past few years, with the pandemic, for example. But that’s our take anyway! We want to bring the conversation over to you – vote in the poll below and let us know your thoughts in the comments 👇

Time is of the essence, when it comes to rolling out an L&D strategy ⏰ But the quality of the learning programme matters too. That’s where learning ecosystems come in - they’ve been revolutionary to the way L&D works as a function within an organisation 🚀 When individuals within a company have access to a centralised environment of content dedicated to learning and development, they have the opportunity to thrive in their role, at a faster pace. This was the core focus in the latest episode of the Moving Forward podcast, with guest Bas Puts, Global Head of Learning & Skill Architecture at Siemens.

Diversity and inclusion probably aren’t new topics to your organisation. BUT... What do these values mean when it comes to personal development? How do you make sure everyone is included when it comes to learning? When we sat down with Inclusive Strategist Hanan Challouki, she mentioned that it starts with understanding that diversity and inclusion are 2 different things 👇 “Diversity is about observing the differences between people. Whereas inclusion is about working with those differences to ensure that everyone feels respected, engaged, and heard, within an organisation.” She also mentioned that the path to truly fostering these values, comes down to a commitment across the entire company: “We are all colleagues working for the same organisation – everyone can make an impact. And you can’t just assume that all employees know how to behave in an inclusive way – that really takes training.” Speaking of inclusivity, feel free to swipe through the slides below, and discover what it takes to be an inclusive leader 🔽

Today is International Podcast Day 🎙️ Podcasts are and continue to be a powerful way for people to connect on a wide range of topics. We’ve thoroughly enjoyed sitting down with some amazing thought leaders within the space of HR and L&D! We wanted to share 3 key insights from some of the amazing guests that we’ve had on the Moving Forward podcast, so you can give your L&D strategy a boost from today 🚀 🤝Advocating Learning Starts With The Enthusiasts, Jeanne Bakker “I believe in working with the people who want to learn already. Make sure that they have an awesome experience with learning, and then see if others will then follow.” 💡The Importance of Employee Experience, Iris Pruefer “We discovered there are 3 dimensions to the employee experience: technology, physical workspace, and culture. We then could build a clear strategy with regard to how we approach each one.” ⚡The Power of Learning Influencers with Benjamin Jaksch “Think about where people normally go if they have a question. More often than not, they’ll ask a peer - they won’t start searching online. A learning influencer can instantly tell that person if they shared the same challenge, and how they overcame it.” We’re always looking for new ways to innovate and improve our podcast, so please also feel free to vote in the poll below ⬇️

Personal development doesn’t happen overnight. Let’s say you’re looking to work on improving your communication. It’s important to start out slow - and set goals for yourself, step by step, in a way that feels both manageable and achievable 🎯 For example - it could be something as simple as… ✅The next time I am in the office, I’ll aim to network with 3 new people. ✅I’ll offer to present in the next meeting. Remember - putting in the work is part of the process! That’s when you truly are able to positively impact your life 💫 Now, if you want to see more of this in action, you’ll hear from Eddie Brocklesby - AKA Irongran. She took on challenge after challenge against all odds, pushing herself to the limit to achieve peak levels of physical and mental health! 💪 #learninganddevelopment #personaldevelopment #motivation

The concept of learning and development can seem quite a distant one for employees. It’s often down to the lack of ‘buzz’ or excitement around learning. And as a result, HR and L&D are often perceived as just another department 🤷 However, as Polly Ivanova - at Puma, rightly pointed out in the latest episode of Moving Forward: “We quickly realised that HR should be more than just a function. We wanted to be the attractive and easy to reach service provider.” She also added how HR at Puma became its own brand - whereby everyone in the organisation knows this internal team and how we can help, and bring learning closer and more within reach 🤝 Tune into this full episode of Moving Forward via the link in the comments 👇

What lies ahead for the future of L&D? 🔮 Well, for starters, there’ll be evolving roles and responsibilities. Benjamin Jaksch, Co-Founder of the New Learning Lab, said: “L&D within an organisation will shift from owning the content, to owning the overall process. And this means an understanding of how learning within their organisation works, and what they need to provide their employees with, in order to facilitate it.” To find out more about this topic and more, tune into the full episode via the link in the comments ⬇️ And feel free to let us know your thoughts around this topic 💬 #learninganddevelopment
