So, Learning at Work Week is over—there’s a year to go until we promote learning again, right? Wrong! Here at eloomi, we believe in continuous learning because learning isn’t just for one week, it’s for life! So why not use the idea of the power of learning and power skills to propel your organisation forward when it comes to enhancing the skills our modern workplaces rely upon.
Continuous learning shouldn’t be a one-time opportunity in our work life. Research from the World Economic Forum shows that 94% of employees would stay at a company longer if it invested in their career development. This statistic underscores the importance of ongoing learning initiatives like Learning at Work Week. However, learning should be ingrained in the organization’s culture, not limited to specific events.

Investing in continuous learning pays dividends. According to a study by LinkedIn, companies with strong learning cultures are 92% more likely to innovate, 52% more productive, and 46% more likely to be first to market with new products and services.

These companies consistently outperform competitors due to their emphasis on continuous learning.
