Boosting Employee Morale With L&D

Your people have been through a lot in the last year. How are you thanking them?

More importantly, how are you boosting their morale to keep them motivated and excited about work?

One of the most constructive ways to keep employees engaged around their jobs is to support ongoing learning and development opportunities. 

In my work with client companies at The Source and Recruit Company, I hear about a lot of innovative L&D programs. For instance, I know companies that…

💡 Offer new skills training in virtual environments — for instance with webinars

💡 Host internal annual or semi-annual conferences so that whole team can get together to learn and grow

💡 Set up Slack or Teams channels unrelated to work that allow teams to share ideas, experiences or even just, you know, cute pets

All of these efforts help build a culture of learning, sharing and motivation. What does your company do — or what do you wish it did — to cultivate employees’ creative and intellectual sides?
