Session Description
Have difficulty getting employees to hear your messages, be aware of available training and understand the importance of taking it? To be ‘heard’ through everything competing for their attention, you need to think like a marketer. Learn how to leverage existing platforms in your organization to create multi-channel learning campaigns, and discover how small changes to your current approach can produce major results. By thinking like a marketer and getting creative, you can influence employees to take ownership of their learning and development. Ultimately, you will be helping to foster a culture of learning.
