Learning
Culture
Learning-Centered work culture is important to
attract top talent, make your workers succeed in their career and make the
business grow.
(Casey, 2015)
(Casey, 2015)
It has been noted that the majority of the workers in present organizations want to see their career
growth and know that their organization is preparing them for the next position
(Gutierrez, 2016) .
What
is a learning culture?
Basically, a learning
culture is a corporate culture that understands learning as an important element
for the success of the organization. In a learning culture, education in formal
training, informal learning, self-directed learning, etc. are measured for
increasing the knowledge, skills, and job performance of employees and of the
organization as a whole (Nielson, 2018) .
Reynolds (2004)
describes a learning culture as a ‘growth medium’, which will ‘encourage
employees to commit to a range of positive discretionary behaviors, including
learning’ with empowerment not supervision, self-managed learning not
instruction, long-term capacity building, not short-term fixes (Armstrong,
n.d.) .
Building
a strong learning culture
Companies who focused
on learning know, to get the information to stick and make is useful of
employees. Companies may use the following methods to implement this in organizations.
Push it good – When content is pushed it is
given to employees at the right time in the right place for them to use it.
Pull it back - empower
and encourage employees to learn and organize on their own is to make sure
resources are supervised and reachable at all time. Build an archive and ensure
that the employees know the way of accessing and how to follow.
This can assist to create
learning opportunities, reduce scheduling conflicts and refresh every time employees
want in the organization.
Learning organizations
provide meaningful learning skills and practices. They offer formal training,
informal training, and performance support as well. They perceive training is something
combined to daily work experience. They embrace the learning process, to be
meaningful to their employee and the organization.
Learning oriented organizations offer a wide variety of training courses, recognizing self-directed learning efforts, and reimbursing employees for earning verified MOOC certificates. They create an environment for their employees to gain new knowledge and skills.
Learning a culture-based organization is very innovative. In innovation excellence, an article of Bradley Bendle identifies information, interpretation, and initiation as three core innovation competencies that organizations with the learning cultures have (Nielson, 2018).

The essential factors to drive an organization successful
today are meaningful training, the ability to attract talent, innovation. A
strong learning culture creates all of them.
