Leaders are Critical to applying new Skills & Knowledge

While employees are fundamentally accountable for any behaviour change as part of their professional development...
...it is the hashtag#LEADER who plays a key role in optimizing and supporting the development of their teams. 

Our clients understand the importance of not only investing in the development/upskilling of their employees to help improve retention, engagement & business results - they explicitly identify and support how the participant's manager will support the learning journey. 
 
Below are some actions leaders can take of workshop participants:

1. Follow-up actions:
➡ Establish clear tasks: assign specific follow-up tasks related to the content of the workshop. These tasks could include implementing new processes, practising new skills or applying the knowledge gained.
➡ Regular follow-ups: Schedule follow-up meetings to monitor participants’ progress. During these sessions, managers can provide guidance, address challenges and celebrate successes. Consistent follow-up reinforces learning.

2. Embed learning into daily work:
➡ Integration: Encourage participants to seamlessly integrate what they learn in the workshop into their daily routine. Whether it’s applying new sales techniques or leadership principles, consistent practice is essential to create lasting habits.
➡ Practice makes perfect: Managers should emphasise practice. Encourage participants to apply what they have learned immediately. The more they practise, the better they will retain their knowledge and create new habits. 

3. Feedback and Recognition:
➡ Seek Insights: Regularly seek feedback from participants. Understand their experiences, obstacles, and successes. Use this input to coach and identify future learning needs.
➡ Celebrate Progress: Recognize small successes. Celebrate when participants successfully apply workshop knowledge. Positive reinforcement motivates further growth.

✅ As leaders, your active support ensures that the findings from the workshops are translated into tangible improvements and have a greater impact on the business
