Why Learn in the Workplace?

For my first blog, I thought I would pose the question - why learn and why learn in the workplace? What is the value and benefit to an organization to support and encourage learning? Well, the answer is easy - and we all know it - learning improves individual performance success, shows increased levels of motivation and creativity among staff, and, it's good for business. So, why aren't we all actively learning, and why is it so hard to create an organization that can integrate learning into its everyday practices? Because learning is a process that requires clear defined steps, with goals and objectives identified, and systems in place to support it that allow learning to take place, and to actually be adapted into the core organizational structure.

This blog will continually return to this - is learning a competitive advantage and does it contribute to organizational success? And if we know the answer is yes, why aren't we all fighting to create an organization that can learn?
