Hybrid Models of Learning







Hybrid models of learning is here to stay

also likely to change every six months 

the new dynamic world demands agile talent up-gradation

more so with challenges posed by the Covid pandemic 

being comfortable with change is now inevitable...


Reskilling today an  imperative 

both  for business and for personal growth

establishing the common ground and purposes

showing  employee a career development opportunity

focusing on the long time career, transparent decision making

 are all  the need of the hour!  


Not only acquiring skills for a job

but also adjacent skills , connected to profession 

skills holistically connected with company

learning, engaging in doing new things 

are all part of the new demands! 


As long term strategy, up-skill mindset, skill set

 and tool sets like technology enablers 

freedom and opportunity for continuous learning 

encouraging internal movements, projects and assignments! 


Employees now responsible for own skill building

play facilitator, making them aware of 'where we are now'

'what new things coming in next 3 months'  

help them decide on their own learning priorities

learning bite size, tailor made to own  needs and pace... 


The key employee mantra for hybrid world  would be 

 go ahead - continue to learn continuously

learn this, learn that, learn whatever you want

but learn!
