Finding Connection Through Learning & Development
Employee learning and development efforts fill basic human needs for connection and growth. Discover how to build connection at your workplace.
Have you ever felt that buzz in the room during a team building day? It’s a special feeling! As employees arrive and get settled, they look excited: stopping and choosing a breakfast pastry and greeting coworkers they haven’t seen in a while. I often overhear people talking about how long it’s been since they have seen each other in person. Before activities or presentations began, we’ve already begun to fill the important human need for connection and community in the workplace.
Vivek Murphy, the United States Surgeon General, notes there is a crisis of connection in America. Gallup has shared data on the declining growth and belonging metrics.
Changes in our society and workplace (thanks, COVID!) have stunted our ability to connect and learn. If we creatively approach Learning and Development opportunities, we can meet these needs while reinforcing skill- building.
At Talence Group, skill-building focuses on the kinds of connections that result in a culture of belonging. The best learning is active and experiential—the brain makes connections and these connections are reinforced by self-driven inquiry and effort. We focus on learning modalities that foster trust building, support, and the spark of ideas. We want people to come away energized with new skills that stick.
Layered on top of our approach is the content, concepts, and practices that deepen how we connect to each other. In Talence Group workshops, people learn new ways of thinking, how to question their assumptions, and most importantly, they practice these skills together. This has the power to build the kind of connection that shifts your culture and increases belonging.
