Foster a culture of learning
A culture that supports knowledge development doesn't develop overnight, and it can't take root without buy-in.
Let your team know that they can watch topic videos and take Tech Foundations assessments during work hours. Instead of requiring a minimum view time, recognize publicly those who are making progress. Encourage them to download the mobile apps (opens in new tab) to help them maximize downtime, such as a commute. Send meeting invites for an hour a day or an hour a week so that time for learning can be prioritized on people's calendars.
Recognize standout learners
Recognition's a great way to let your team feel appreciated for their efforts. And with the rapid pace of technology change, their success is your success. Recognize their achievements in 1:1s, all-hands, and company-wide meetings or in newsletters and recognition spaces.
Make it a challenge
One of the most successful ways to engage your team in learning about relevant technology topics is to set up a few friendly competitions. There are so many ways you can turn Tech Foundations into even more of a challenge by setting goals—and even giving prizes if you want to take it a step further. Use Tech Foundations analytics to see who finished a topic or who has finished all topics.
From front-line managers to mentoring groups or even L&D initiatives, hosting events can be a great way to gain your employee’s buy-in, improve psychological safety around knowledge gaps, and also get your learners learning. Try one of these ideas and see the results.
- Organize challenges based on which person or department can pass the assessment for a given topic or for all the topics in Tech Foundations first.
- Set up a competition on how many topic assessments your team can pass in 30, 60, or even 90 days.
- Create a course club (PDF, opens in new tab) for one or more topics in Tech Foundations. Like in a book club, learners watch the selected topic and then discuss what they’ve learned. If you are using Tech Foundations in conjunction with Skills, you can follow up with another course club featuring related topics.
