Dear Kay 

 

Welcome to your monthly HR Newletter!

 

This month’s newsletter looks at the concept of Building and Maintaining a Learning Organisation

 

"The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn and relearn." Alvin Toffler

 

 

 

The concept of Learning Organisations is becoming an increasingly widespread philosophy in modern companies, from the largest multinationals to the smallest ventures.

 

A learning organisation is one in which the structure, culture and processes facilitate organisational learning. An organisation that facilitates the learning of all its members and continuously transforms itself.

The freedom to let go of the past and try new ways in the future. Where successes and 'failures' are reviewed for their learning potential. Where individuals and departments are appraised for their learning systems as much as for their past performance. To continue reading click here

 

This month’s top HR Tip!

 

Improved social interaction: Learning requires social interaction and interpersonal communication skills. An organisation based on learning will ensure members become better at these activities. Teams will work better as a result. - Tip was provided by www.see.ed.ac.uk

 

Hope this Helps!
