Innovation,
empowerment, improvement, self-confidence, self-realization these are main
reasons why is learning in the workplace really necessary. If we are going to
focus on these 5 steps we can create good circle of education and harmony in
the workplace.
Lets start with innovation and give space to employees to learn something new, what
will be useful not only for them, but also for the workplace. Even if they are
going to learn foreign language (f. e. Spanish because they want to visit
Spain). This person starts with self - realization
(f. e. I like learning new languages and getting in touch with another culture)
and on the same point also with self-confidence
(because this person wouldn’t be so scared of visiting new country as he/she
will be able to understand elementary vocabulary and solve basic problems).
This same person improves her/his
personal skills and is also empowered (because
he/she is more motivated and excited because of her/his visit in Spain).
And maybe exactly this person can
come up with a new idea to start to work on new project with Spain or Spanish
speaking country in your company and this is an innovation. And you are now again running through this circle,
which is based on education and especially learning new things. Thanks to these
experiences you are going to learn something new, maybe that you should be
ashamed that you didn’t come up with the idea to cooperate with international
partners before.
In my opinion if we want to make really good
educational or learning plan for ourselves or for our colleagues we should
think about this circle. Because if it is something empowering for me (or just
one person in my workplace), then it is empowering our workplace, because you
feel better, you can start to create better or innovative outputs. Even if a
part of the training is boring, try to find a way how to put it in this circle,
(f. e. If you have to learn a strategy how to communicate with your clients,
you can think that it is really boring. In order to avoid the boredom, try to based
and teach this strategy on concrete life situation, which you can also
experience in your private life.)
