Power ‘industry Insight’ from the get-go
Nexperk Learning
A new team member joins your organisation, and they have all the capabilities for the role but have not worked in the industry before. It is a big transition, from banking to building, from retail to telecoms etc. Every industry has its own culture and terminology, plus much more.
Developing industry insight provides the most valuable learning, training and development opportunities. Understanding current trends, innovations, forecasting and reflecting on one’s performance, motivations, preferences and perspectives.
Many clever curious team members seek insight from government statistics, trade publications, market data, research reports or online forums.
These industry learning opportunities directly support career development and performance within the organisation and are great opportunities to add to the onboarding plan.
Let’s take trade Shows, expos and conferences as an example. We should be tapping in and driving attendance to the relevant events.
Here’s why every organisation should promote team members to attend conferences and trade expos.
Five Reasons why Learning, Training & Development should encourage employees, contractors, and partners, to attend industry events.
Broaden their industry knowledge of current and future trends. It’s a moment for the individual to reflect on how they measure up and fit for the future with their current capabilities.
Hear industry speakers on critical topics to expand perspectives, such as sustainability goals or social responsibility.
The invitation or encouragement from an employer to attend a tradeshow can increase the employee morale of self-development, psychological meaningfulness, belonging and confidence and feeling part of the bigger picture and part of a great industry.
After attending a Tradeshow or Expo, it’s an opportunity for the Learning, Training & Development team to extend the ‘buzz’ of the event and share it with others internally. This can be done via a digital board, photos, video sharing or an internal event on ‘Key findings on the *** expo’.
Networking and your brand awareness with the potential opportunities for new partnerships, leads and sales. The perfect chance for branded shirts when attending the expo.
I could not think of a better learning opportunity for anyone in the building and construction industry, including support teams.
