For our 9th AELIA L&D Talk, on October 9th 2024, we discussed how to “Engage in L&D". The Talk took place at the premises of Orange Grove, featuring insights from our panelists:
🎙Ioanna Dimou – Learning Partner Retail, CIB, Risk & Legal Services at Eurobank
🎙Renata Pylarinou – People Development Specialist at Welcome Pickups
🎙Tonia Michalopoulou – Fractional People Leader || ex People & Culture Lead at Penneo
The discussion, coordinated by Faye Orfanou, touched on crucial aspects of engagement in L&D:
✅Diagnosing actual L&D needs to ensure content relevance
✅Identifying barriers to engagement, such as time constraints and workload
✅Identifying the best approaches to drive engagement—action-based L&D, blended learning, on-the-job training, e-learning, communities of learning
✅The strong correlation between employee engagement and motivation
✅The importance of properly communicating L&D initiatives and getting managers involved
✅Setting goals and fostering a learning culture through manager engagement
A big thank you to our panelists for their valuable contributions and to everyone who attended both on-site and via Zoom! Your active participation made the discussion even more insightful.
