Why your team should be learning on their feet.
While traditional learning is valuable and important, practicing skills, applying knowledge, and sharing knowledge through informal learning forms an essential part of our professional growth. We know this instinctively. In fact, people find these experiences most valuable for learning.
Learning methods rated Very Important or Essential as reported in 2017 Learning in the Workplace Survey:

Employees most value work experience and knowledge sharing for professional learning.
Plus, informal learning is
- Less expensive.
- Engaging.
- Driven by needs.
- Personalized.
- Practical and applicable.
But most learning programs don’t incorporate informal learning.
Why? Because unlike courses, workshops, videos, and even training games, informal learning takes place in the chaos of the real world. So it’s hard to track and manage. Plus, it’s hard to ensure that people are learning best practices and company standards.
Pract.us is designed to turn informal learning in to a powerful, easy-to-manage learning tool.
