They say that what’s good for the goose is good for the gander, but in business, it can feel like what’s good for the goose… is selfishly just good for the goose. That’s because many organizations have the same overarching theme: whatever is done for employees is expressly for the benefit that it offers the company. While it’s true that this sensibility can give employees some amazing benefits, the idea that any work perk is only in place to help the organization’s bottom line doesn’t always reinforce a positive company culture. Instead, it sends the message that the company comes first and any benefit to the employee should circle back to the organization.
Learning is a way to challenge the status quo of a company first and employees as a distant second. By opening up different channels of learning and education to all employees, your company can prove that it’s not just concerned about the bottom line, but the individual, too. The way you approach and disseminate learning could be what keeps your employees fulfilled and appreciated.
