Technological advances make collaborative learning across global workforces much more achievable.

Here we discuss the benefits to the employee and to the employer of creating a collaborative learning environment.

Benefits To The Employee

• Employees benefit directly through knowledge sharing and a subsequent increase in skills.

• Collaborative working facilitates brainstorming and offers employees the potential to innovate faster. This style of learning empowers learners within the workforce to take control of their own learning and to demonstrate a self-directed learning approach.

• Introverts who may have struggled previously to engage in discussion, are more likely to do so via collaborative learning techniques in smaller groups.

• Collaborative learning activities encourage creative thinking skills in a workforce with learners having to think, articulate and receive clarity on their competencies.

Benefits To The Employer

• Shared learning can help facilitate cross-team working and allow for transference of skills, building a more knowledgeable and ultimately efficient workforce.

• This technique allows employees to foster relationships across remote offices, identifying champions of learning in certain areas and allowing for ease of rewarding.

• The Next Generation Workforce (NGW) wish to work in a collaborative organisation so applying this learning style will showcase the company as a forward thinking workplace.

• Building an engaging workforce in this way can increase employee retention and job satisfaction.
