The world of work has changed. Trends suggest that hybrid and flexible work practices will be a permanent landscape in organizations. Employees want to assert their options to have a more say on their work arrangements. Businesses are wrestling with creative options to retain workers and talent, while making them productive.

Unfortunately, learning and training design practitioners and digital solutions are biased toward “you learn as the business demands it”, and not based on the new work arrangements in hybrid and flexible work.  Training practitioners are still using the approach that “I own teaching you” vs letting learners own their learning experience.  This attitude does not meet the needs and design of teams today. 

In this session, Ray Jimenez will share experiences on how to succeed in an evolving workplace through innovative practices on the new “Hybrid and Flexible Work Learning Ecosystem.”
