This is the last post in our series of articles on learning culture, but it’s by no means the least important one. In a learning culture, skills are a top, strategic priority. They are assessed, worked on and renewed all the time, with everyone taking responsibility for skills – learning teams, senior leaders and employees. But, what’s the current situation with regards to skills in the UK?

In times of significant change, with huge challenges put upon the retail sector in recent years, it's no wonder some companies and employees are ending up burnt out and disengaged. Now is the time to recognise this change and put steps in place to reengage the workforce, supporting the development of a resilient team. Resilience, often an overlooked quality, is essential in ensuring employees can cope (and thrive) when times are tough.

This is the third article in our series on learning culture. This article talks about the importance of employee engagement and a positive employee experience and how they relate to a strong learning culture.

A skills development plan is a must-have for any business looking to help its employees maximise their potential. After all, the success of any organisation is predicated on the abilities of its staff. By helping them to grow, you’re also investing in the future of your company.

Nowadays, it’s almost impossible to imagine training your employees without using some kind of online platform. To help ensure the best possible results, many companies have already turned to learning experience platforms (LXPs), while others are still considering making the switch.

A learning experience platform (LXP) is a game-changer for any company looking to increase employee engagement with training courses. What’s so great about LXPs? Well, for starters, they give you access to a range of high-quality teaching methods that are proven to boost participation and foster new skills.

Plenty of questions still surround the way we, as humans, learn new skills. There’s no doubt, however, that our interactions with others play a key role in this process. This principle lies at the heart of how learning experience platforms (LXPs) work.

Decided to wave goodbye to traditional training methods and step into the future with digitised training? There are two software options available: a Learning Management System (LMS) or a Learning Experience Platform (LXP). But which is best suited for your organisation?

There are plenty of reasons why you might be interested in investing in a learning experience platform (LXP). Perhaps you’ve noticed that your existing LMS isn’t quite cutting it anymore—or maybe you’ve still been organising all of your training the old-fashioned way, and want to try something new. No matter what your reasons, there are some key features you need to look for in an LXP.
