Today, I want to share with you the incredible impact that personalised learning solutions can have on organisations and their employees. As an advocate for the field of personalised learning, I firmly believe in the mission of removing barriers to scalable coaching and making learning opportunities available to all employees.  

Join me as we delve into the inner workings of Access Personalised Learning to explore the transformative effects that a personalised learning platform can have on your organisation. 

Why Personalised Learning? 

Let's start by understanding the core motivation behind our pursuit of personalised learning. At the heart of it all is the desire to make learning meaningful and engaging for every individual. We've all witnessed the shift from passive learning to active ownership, where employees crave a deeper connection to their work. By offering personalised learning plans, journeys generated by our system and tailored to each learner, we empower individuals to identify their areas of growth and development within the organisation, both online and offline. This personalised approach ensures that learning becomes relevant and meaningful to every employee. 

One of the key challenges organisations face is retaining talent. Many employees leave due to a perceived lack of progression or limited opportunities for growth. With our personalised learning platform, we address this issue head-on. By providing employees with easy access to personalised learning plans aligned with the skills and competencies that matter most to your organisation, we can help you create a culture of continuous development and enable employees to advance their careers within your organisation. By fostering a sense of progress and offering clear pathways for growth, you can empower employees to take advantage of the opportunities presented to them. 

Engaging Employees in the Online Learning Realm 

Online learning can often be a daunting and impersonal experience, leaving your employees feeling lost amidst a sea of resources. However, with personalised learning journeys, you can bridge this gap by involving learners in the process of identifying their development areas and helping them understand how these areas relate to their roles. By actively engaging employees in the learning process, it is possible to cultivate a sense of ownership and motivation, making online learning a truly enriching experience. 

Meaningful Data for Organisational Insight 

Learning data is crucial for organisations to evaluate the impact of their learning initiatives. It's not enough to know that a certain percentage of employees have engaged with the learning content. You need to understand what that learning means to them and how it translates into tangible benefits for your organisation. This is where a personalised learning solution excels. It provides you with meaningful data and insights into the learning opportunities you offer your employees, helping you identify skill gaps and evaluate the impact of the learning initiatives. 

The Inner Workings of Personalised Learning 

Now, let's explore how Access Personalised Learning operates in practice and how it can transform your organisation.  

  • Individual Focus: At the core of our approach lies the learner. We present a set of skills and competencies to employees and ask them to rate their confidence levels in each area. It's important to note that we focus on confidence rather than competence, as the latter is best assessed by line managers through evaluations. By collecting this data, the solution then automatically creates personalised learning plans tailored to the development areas identified by the learners themselves.  

  • Vast Content Library: A comprehensive content library with short, engaging eLearning videos and written resources is used to enable the fulfilment of personalised learning plans based on each employee's identified development areas. However, learners are not limited to only suggested content, ensuring a diverse learning experience. A wide range of content is available including soft skills, professional skills, and career growth resources, promoting internal mobility.  

  • Clear Credibility: To ensure credibility, our personalised learning solution draws on a panel of professionally qualified coaches. Learners can trust the expertise of the content and understand why it's important to pay attention. Each coach contributing to the learning content has a detailed profile, including a written and video profile showcasing their backgrounds and areas of specialisation. This transparency allows learners to build confidence in the provided content.  All content in the library is also CPD accredited.
     
  • Keeping Your Learners On Track: To ensure continuous engagement, we employ a series of emails for your learners, that guide them back to their personalised learning plans after they complete the initial assessment. By encouraging your learners to re-engage with the learning content, the personalised learning solution helps to foster a culture of growth and development within your organisation.
     
  • Learner Reflection: The journey doesn't end there. We believe in the power of reflection and self-assessment. After employees have engaged in learning, Access Personalised Learning encourages them to re-evaluate their confidence levels and assess the impact of their learning. This feedback loop allows individuals to recognise their growth and boosts their confidence within the organisation.  

  • Learning Gain: Here we look at two key data points for the organisation to measure learning gain over time to gauge increased employee confidence resulting from programme implementation, and identifying skill gaps within the organisation. By providing actionable insights on individual growth and organisational development, we empower you to strategically address areas of improvement and allocate resources effectively. 

In Summary 

By providing tailored learning journeys and valuable insights, you can enable individuals to take charge of their development and unlock their full potential. With a wealth of resources and expert coaching at their fingertips, employees can confidently bridge skill gaps and embrace new opportunities.
