I had a great conversation with a colleague yesterday about how short bursts of learning could transform the way we develop skills and reinforce behaviors in the workplace. Here are my thoughts:
đź’ˇ Learning in the Flow of Work is all about integrating learning seamlessly into daily tasks—no more “stop what you’re doing to learn.” Instead, it’s about providing just-in-time resources, quick tips, or microlearning moments that fit naturally into the rhythm of the workday.
🔔 Add Behavior Nudges to the mix, and you’ve got a recipe for lasting change. Nudges—like timely reminders, motivational prompts, or bite-sized challenges—can gently guide learners toward desired behaviors, whether it’s adopting a new skill, reinforcing workplace values, or building better habits.
🌟 Why does this work?
- It’s effortless: Learning happens in the moment, without disrupting productivity.
- It’s sticky: Small, frequent nudges help reinforce behaviors over time.
- It’s cultural: When learning becomes a natural part of the workday, it fosters a culture of continuous growth.
For example:
- A quick 2-minute video on effective communication before a big meeting.
- A daily nudge to reflect on a core company value and how it applies to your work.
- A pop-up tip in your project management tool to try a new productivity hack.
The beauty of this approach is that it’s scalable, adaptable, and deeply impactful. It’s not just about learning—it’s about creating habits that drive performance and align with your organization’s goals.
