This is something we regularly review on an individual basis.
How do you give people autonomy in their learning while still keeping development aligned with business priorities? This is where line-manager check-ins are key. We want people to feel empowered to progress their own development, but this shouldn’ t be done alone. Regular individual checkins between team members and their managers ensure that training and development aren’ t falling by the wayside.
The sessions can be used to refresh an existing development plan to make sure it still fits with the priorities of the business and the individual still feels motivated to progress.

This requires a passion for learning and an ambition to develop both their own and others’ skills. hrchiefmagazine. com
