A learning culture is when a group of employees develop a mindset of learning to foster organizational development, and also share the knowledge with their co-workers (Grossman, 2015). The purpose of a learning culture is to encourage employees in learning their organizational values, practices, beliefs, skill sets and conventions (O’Neill, 2019).
Some of the ways an organization can create a learning culture are to get organizational leadership buy-in; lead by example; hire smart by selecting candidates who are intrinsically driven; support risk-taking and failing forward without fear of repercussions; promote a culture of honest feedback and open discussions; examine current learning strategy and find learning gaps and weaknesses; empowerment of subject matter experts to create and support learning content; make training accessible; make learning a priority within the organization; experiment with different learning methods; integrate learning into day-today activities; make knowledge a sharing habit, and reward continuous learning (O’Neill, 2019; Anderson et al., 2018).
An example of an organization with learning culture is America Express who measures the impact of learning interventions on pre and post individual, and organizational level change. The company also performs regular pulse survey in order to validate the impact of its learning strategies on employee retention and satisfaction respectively (Grossman, 2015).
A small organization such as the one owned by me can begin evaluating current business challenges; ensure that the company has the ability to track and report on training; investigate, analyze, and compare cost to benefits; involve HR, management, and IT; and integrate learning into the company’s culture in order to ensure the success of the adoption (Boettge, 2017).
