In Balancing Work and Life, Dave Crenshaw explains how employees can set hard boundaries – or a “line in the sand” – for professional time and personal time. This can be especially important for remote workers who don’t have the routine of commuting and being in the office to structure their days.
In How to Develop Friendships and Connect Meaningfully with Work Colleagues, Selena Rezvani shares tips on building rapport with coworkers. Again, this is quite valuable for remote or hybrid teams who have lost the dynamic of regular in-person interactions.
- In Avoiding Burnout, Todd Dewett emphasizes the importance of using PTO even if you’re not traveling or going on vacation. Finding outside activities or hobbies to take one’s mind off work can be vital in the work/life balance equation.
Coming together through social learning
Isolation, loneliness, and a lack of connectivity in the workplace are also among the factors impeding employee wellness – especially with so many organizations radically shifting their dynamics as part of the hybrid/remote work revolution.
This points to another key online learning benefit: The best software platforms today enable social, collaborative, community-based learning that brings teams together in meaningful ways. Community-based learning supports employee engagement by:
Fostering inclusion and belonging
Making learning a habit
Igniting people’s passion to learn and grow
Learners can join learning groups, share and recommend courses, and watch courses together — even if they're not in the same place. Users can also interact with instructors, colleagues, and other learners to further enrich their experiences.
These kinds of social and community elements have a big effect on activating your employees! Learners who join groups in LinkedIn Learning Hub watch 29x more hours of learning content than those who don't.
