Maintaining a learning culture
Introducing how to create a culture of learning and continuous learning.
Learning in the workplace is no longer about a single workshop, course or training video an employee must take. It’s now much more than that, it’s about continuous learning and creating a culture of learning to support it. This takes time and effort but it is worth the investment.
Our partner Oracle defines a learning culture as ‘a set of organisational values, conventions, processes and practices which encourage individuals – and the organisation as a whole – to increase knowledge, competence and performance’.
To understand how a learning culture is formed, it is important to understand how culture overall is developed. The Society of Human Resources Management defines a workplace culture as “the glue that holds an organization together. It is a silent code of conduct.” This is what drives employee actions in a subtle way.
Whether you know it or not, your company already has a workplace culture, which has been defined by Senior Leadership beliefs and actions.
Culture of learning
A learning culture is one that values and encourages learning, developing this is an investment, but provides great benefits to your company. It is aimed at growing your staff’s potential and growing your business. It enhances employee engagement and increases productivity.
However, implementing this culture is not something that happens overnight. Here are key steps that can be taken to head in the right direction.
- Make Learning A Core Value
Making learning a clearly defined core value of the business, supported and championed by Senior Leadership by providing the required resources to underpin this key value. - Develop role-based learning paths
Learning paths inspire and guide employees by providing them with relevant growth plans. These plans come with learning goals and outcomes which will engage employees as part of the overall strategic plan. - Provide staff with Career Coaching
Learning often comes from the need to drive a career, and when career coaching supports this the results can be a real focus on self-directed learning. It also helps to clarify the guidance of the career. - Lead By Example
If organisational leaders are engaged and dedicated to their own continuous learning, it reinforces a learning culture. - Have The Right Learning Environment
Implement a Learning Management System, create Peer Support Networks or Social Learning Channels to knowledge share.

Fudgelearn focus on the quality of relationships with customers and look to work in Partnership to help achieve the desired outcomes. They’ve proven flexible in meeting our requirements and extremely responsive in managing the service they provide. For example, one of their Account Managers has come onsite on a regular basis to provide support and guidance for members of my department to ensure we’re getting the most from the service.

We have had the pleasure of working with Fudgelearn on a series of training webinars to support the global rollout of Oracle Fusion. Not only has Fudgelearn been professional, committed and a valued partner in supporting the educational rollout of our material to the business but their instructor has also gone above and beyond to help us resolve unforeseen issues.
Thank you!

I found the Fudgelearn Account Manager to be very knowledgeable and was able to offer the correct package to meet my needs and wider career goals.
I left my one-to-one feeling enthused to undertake my tailored training plan.
Without Fudgelearn’s direction, I feel I would still be wandering around in the darkness!
