Advantages of a learning culture

Success for a commercial organisation is usually defined by increase in revenue and profit. Yet the cost cutting, downsizing and other rationalisation measures that can be used to reach this goal are finite.

Sustainable competitive advantage

For a business to remain productive and competitive in local and global markets, training and lifelong learning should be encouraged across all levels of operation.

The benefits of implementing a learning culture include:

  • superior performance
  • better quality of product and services
  • better customer satisfaction
  • committed and result-focused workforce
  • greater ability to deal with change.

The business case for learning

The following summary of how learning pays for business is from Dr Bill Lucas’ paper: Why it pays for employers to invest in lifelong learning.

Goal oriented, loyal staff

Extending the skills of your employees will allow your business to be more competitive and flexible.

Creating a learning environment that enables staff to grow and reach personal goals – in partnership with achieving business goals – will help staff to remain focused, goal-oriented and loyal to your business.An educated workforce can be easier to manage and will welcome new techniques, equipment and materials into the business.

Benefits for employees

In today's competitive and ever changing markets, people need to continue to acquire new skills to ensure their employability.

Benefits of lifelong learning for employees include:

  • career flexibility – adopting a lifelong learning culture promotes development of new competencies and skills
  • increasing skill requirements – as technologies change, jobs such as nursing, teaching and computer programming, etc require further training
  • personal satisfaction – individuals who can develop their skills report high motivation, morale and job satisfaction
  • better wages – by becoming more competent and skilled through training, employees can progress through wage levels more easily.

The commitment you show to the wellbeing of your staff by creating a learning culture, will make them more marketable – and increase their loyalty and commitment to your company.
