The New World of Work
The old ways of working are gone—here are six things to consider when searching for ways to support your team’s professional development.
We all feel that work is fundamentally different. As Lloyd Fink, CEO of Blackrock, said, “the old world is gone…we find ourselves in a profoundly different paradigm than we are used to…. where employees are looking for more from their employer”.
Learning must be completely redesigned for this new paradigm. Incremental shifts in learning solutions such as online learning or one-on-one coaching emerged pre-pandemic can not simply be cobbled together with a few after-thoughts to become inclusive, convenient, and suited to new learning habits.
Six core shifts are playing out in this New World of Work:
Flexible work models
Complexity in business operations
Retention challenges
A renewed focus on DEI and wellbeing
The rise of the Gen Z
Due to these changes, people leaders can no longer ignore the desire of their employees to demand more for personal growth and learning.
Each of these aspects must be designed into learning solutions for tomorrow… both in the “how” and the “what”. Learning must be flexible and offer human experiences.
The HOW: learning solutions must be flexible:
• Affordable enough to scale to talent much earlier in their career
• Asynchronous first to meet learning preferences and scale
• Convenient to access given remote and hybrid work
• Rapid in time to value given burnout and pressure on time efficiency
• Modern and inclusive in design to meet the expectations of new generations
• Easy and joyful to drive engagement among “snack media” generations
The WHAT: learning solutions must offer human experiences:
• Highly personalized and relevant journeys for each individual, given the complexity of personal and professional challenges
• Multiple learning modalities to deepen engagement and meet individuals’ learning preferences
• Human support on all aspects of wellbeing, career, and professional growth
• Tools that build strategic skills to adapt to new business challenges
• A diverse group of experts and speakers to build a sense of belonging
• Access for under-represented talent to critical support (e.g., to mentors and relatable role models, to a peer community, to feedback)
