It impacts engagement more than rewards and recognition, work/life balance, and even ping pong and free sodas. Creating that culture can be challenging, however, the effort to create one is rewarded in performance, engagement, and other ways.

Discussion topics included; elements of a strong learning culture, the Learning Culture’s impact on engagement and loyalty, the importance of variety, and training design strategies.
