NEW DATE! Learning Leaders SIG: How do we Create a Culture of Continuous Learning Without Overwhelming Employees? (04 Nov 2026)

Wed, 04 Nov 2026 12:30:00 GMT

NOTE that the original date has changed. The Learning Leaders will be meeting on Wednesday, November 4 at 7:30AM.

It seems the trend is doing more with less employees. I hear this multiple times at meetings, conferences, and daily discussions. But how do we continue to develop our employees without overwhelming them? I am overwhelmed personally and I know others are as well.

"If employees were given one hour per week for development, how would we ensure that hour produces meaningful growth rather than more content consumption?"

Let’s discuss this question and how we can create a meaningful learning environment that doesn’t overwhelm our employees. Convener: Leah Cridlin
