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!

ReplyDeleteOnce again , the new normal guidelines summarised well.
Thank you so much for responding and sharing your thoughts on the subject!
ReplyDeletePerhaps a little learning of skills would make a better world!
ReplyDeleteLittle less, I mean.
ReplyDeleteIt is an interesting observation. However, it looks as if in the present circumstances people have to pitch in areas not envisaged earlier due to unexpected situations thrown up by the pandemic. To that extent, they need to flexible and learn new things.
ReplyDeletePandemic brought prons and cons in a way. Dependence and interdependence turned into self-dependence that enables every one to develop skills in any field. Besides, technology is certainly a boon. On the other hand, immense loss makes us feel bad too
ReplyDeleteI liked your summarisation, Raj jee.
Thanks a lot for sharing your thoughts on the subject Padma!
DeleteExcellent sir... I impart and instill LSRWT to all my students and friends so as to make them themselves perfectionist... Our wavelength matches.. much happy
ReplyDeleteThank you for responding and giving your take on the subject Neelakantan!
DeleteChange is the only thing that is constant....to survive new skills to be learned as per your environment and requirements.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts always goes especially to the small farmers (who are 70% of our Indian agricultural sector) especially since Covid pandemic, for them life remained same even after pandemic unlike their urban counterparts majority of whom started working from the comforts of their homes but got their food on plate uninterrupted because of those poor farmers toiling in the fields.
Need some unselfish efforts from corporates and intellectuals to make their life too a bit easier and comfortable. Afterall every one will need to eat food only to be alive and can't eat plastic or digital grains and vegetables.
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. Completely agree with your views on farmers.Politicians have been only giving lip sympathy and making false promises during elections without addressing their major concerns that has increased after the pandemic.
ReplyDeleteI received a message from Ms padmini Patrachary Janardhanan on what's app saying she read this post but is unable to make a comment. She therefore requested to post her views as follows:
ReplyDelete"Continuous learning is what all evolution is about - personal, organizational and social. No surprise that Rajeev, our senior facilitator has penned this"
I am very grateful to receive this comment from Padmini who is herself an accomplished facilitator and counselor.
Patience, perseverance and persistence are the ladder steps to excel in the field of interest. 🥝🍓🍊🍉🍎🍇
