EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS
Why learning should be viewed as a cultural obligation rather than a legal requirement
A learning culture is a set of organisational norms, attitudes, practices, and procedures that promote learning. Employees and organisations are encouraged to increase their knowledge and skills through these conventions.
How an L & D-focused culture improves employee retention and profitability
Fostering L & D encourages employee engagement, which boosts your retention rate. Employees require the opportunity to expand their expertise and advance in their careers. Employees feel fulfilled and thrive when they have the opportunity to learn new things regularly, which is easily visible in Edcast. The company has managed in bringing its employees together, adding variety to their experience increasing their engagement and creative output.
Relationship between the L & D and R & R functions
