8 ways to turn every employee into a learner
summary
Eight concrete tactics: define learning culture as strategy + experiences + connection, then apply eight practices. Key claims and numbers: workers spend 90,000 hours at work, heavy learners are 21% more engaged, 65% of L&D leaders fail to engage people. Tools and experiments: curating monthly micro‑pushes and 3‑minute videos, using M Border for onboarding workflows, MailChimp for clickbait comms and LinkedIn Learning for content. Manager experiments include 15-minute quick coaching, desk drops and bathroom “potty‑training” posters; these are low‑cost, repeatable practices that report higher attendance and engagement.
