Sustainability
Leverage Learning Investments into Tangible Value
Poor interpersonal relationships at work can take a toll on people’s energy, productivity, and commitment levels. They also have huge financial consequences. Effective communication is key to creating sustainability and long-lasting behavior change—critical components in leveraging the investment your organization makes in learning initiatives.
Sustainability describes the learning process and activities that need to occur before, during, and after training to ensure on-the-job application of new behaviors that are required to maximize the probability of achieving business results. There is a vital link between learning and development, your business issues and strategic goals, and accountability. It rests with having a sustainability strategy for turning learning into behavior.
