Learning programs that focus solely on developing technical skills are a missed opportunity. Promote engagement and performance by developing competencies and behaviors that reflect your organization’s cultural values. In this HCI Keynote video, David J. DeFilippo, Ed.D., Chief Learning Officer of Suffolk Construction, explains how this mid-sized construction company is using modern learning science to build a culturally aligned, highly skilled workforce as it expands.
Key insights:
- Prevent early attrition and promote long term engagement with culturally immersive onboarding programs that reflect who you are as a company.
- Use values and personality traits as the basis for selecting your next generation of leaders; technical skills are easier to teach than attitudes.
- Integrate technology systems to give employees and managers visibility into learning opportunities.
