Wellbeing at Work

Wellbeing programs shouldn't be viewed as "nice-to haves." They are essential to ensuring employees can perform at their best and stay motivated over the long haul. Designing and managing successful wellbeing programs has never been more important and the available tools to do so have never been more abundant—but navigating the landscape isn’t easy.

The Agile Learning Organization

These are complex times to be in the business of learning. Organizations are under constant pressure to grow in directions that are, at times, counterintuitive; more agile, but also more globally aligned; more innovative, but still familiar and stable to our long-term customers. The key to survival is the ability to constantly learn and grow—as individuals, teams, and organizations.

The HR function has traditionally deprioritised itself in terms of the learning investment - the shoemaker’s children always go barefoot I believe the saying goes. We at Vodafone have also been going proudly barefoot until now. We partnered with the Josh Bersin Academy because we believe that the future focused, research based content coupled with the cutting edge learning experience platform will inspire our HR function to learn a lot and acquire the skills for the future of work

The potential to provide a consistent and effective development resource for professionals across our People and Performance function was one of the reasons we were interested in piloting the Josh Bersin Academy. Additionally, as a learning professional, I was impressed with the quality of the learner experience provided by the Academy. The engaging interactions, the innovative way it encourages collaboration and engagement, and the relevant library of quick reference resources all contributed to a high-impact solution.
