Leaders want employees to continue to learn and develop new skills, but this wish will fall flat if people aren’t given extra support. You might encourage employees to sign up for extra training and courses, but not many people will have time to engage properly, or at all, if their workloads remain the same and their studying has to be done after hours. If you truly want to promote more learning among your team, start by giving people opportunities to develop at work. Give them stretch assignments and more autonomy. Make sure your team has access to the resources they need to learn and grow – including people. Use mentoring to connect younger stars with seasoned executives – both can learn from each other. Establish regular check-ins to provide feedback, and measure progress through 360s. You can also fuel development by giving rewards such as promotions and stock ownership.
