Digital transformation is reshaping industries across the globe, making it essential for employees to be digitally proficient. Today self-learning leverages digital tools and technologies, and equips individuals with the skills and knowledge required to be effective, which in turn drives business growth.
Self-paced learning in the digital era offers the benefits of flexibility, customization, individualization, motivation, lifelong learning and accessibility. Embracing self-paced learning empowers individuals to take control of their learning journeys, adapt to the changing world and continuously acquiring knowledge and skills.
Keeping this in mind, Team Learning and Development decided to procure limited licenses from LinkedIn Learning. A platform which offers over 16,000 plus self-paced programs under Business , Creativity and Technology. We, at the Thomas Cook Group, strongly believe that “Learning is a treasure that will follow its owner everywhere”. By pursuing knowledge and acquiring new skills independently, individuals can advance their careers, broaden their perspectives, and unlock new opportunities within the organization. This personal growth translates into increased job satisfaction and motivation.
Our Executive Chairman, Madhavan Menon strongly believes that “Education is an integral part of our lives in the form of training, reskilling and understanding the changes that are happening in the world around us”.
Our Execom Team has always highlighted the importance of learning , upskilling and staying relevant at all times. This was indeed a motivation for us at Learning and Development to partner with LinkedIn. To ensure continuous learning, Team Learning and Development daily assigns “Learner Challenge” which boosts learner engagement with curated challenges and bite-size content. In addition, learning paths which are assigned to colleagues band-wise, based on our competencies, which compile playlists of related video courses on a specific topic or career track. They include multiple courses by different expert instructors to teach a variety of skills and information associated with that subject or profession. Our colleagues eagerly wait for the monthly newsletter published by our team which identifies the “LinkedIn Learning Champions”, as we recognize and award users with maximum consumption.
Overall, LinkedIn Learning offers a convenient, accessible and comprehensive learning experience that facilitates skill development, career advancement, and networking opportunities which will help our colleagues learn and upskill.
