Lucinda discusses the importance of cultivating a learning culture within organisations, emphasising that learning should be embedded in every aspect of organisational life rather than limited to traditional training courses.

Drawing on insights from industry experts, the episode explores the concept of psychological safety and its role in fostering an environment where employees feel safe to ask questions, admit mistakes, and challenge the status quo.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• A learning culture is defined as one where learning is embedded in every aspect of organisational life, moving beyond traditional training courses to create an environment that encourages continuous development and innovation.


• Creating a psychologically safe environment is crucial for fostering a learning culture. Employees should feel safe to ask questions, admit mistakes, and challenge ideas without fear of embarrassment or punishment.


• The framework of Environment, Permission, and Culture (EPC) is essential for establishing a learning culture. Organisations need to create the right environment, give employees permission to learn, and cultivate a culture that values learning at all levels.


• Learning and development initiatives should align with the organisation's strategic goals to ensure that learning is purposeful and contributes to overall business success. This alignment helps justify investment in learning programs.

BEST MOMENTS

"Having opportunities to learn and grow is one of those key questions when you look at employee engagement."

"We need to create this environment where it's okay for people to speak up, to ask questions, to admit mistakes, or admit they don't know the answer without the fear of embarrassment or punishment."

"A high-performing learning culture doesn't come from one-off training, sticking plasters, and it doesn't come from ticking boxes."

"If you look at where your strategic challenges are for the business, make sure that the L&D is aligned to that."
