Self-Directed Learning
the power of being in control
The world around us is changing fast. Being skilled in a trade? That’s not enough now, for employees… So they have to show what they can do. That’s why stimulating employees to work on their own development is a great idea. Because it is getting impossible to keep up with the information overload in the HR or L&D departments. And ultimately, it is the employees themselves who know best what they need in order to perform well.
The great thing is that research shows that we are much more motivated when we have autonomy. Interests and ambition – they are the drivers for finding information. That is why UP favours learning solutions and a culture that encourage self-directed learning.
It makes sure that employees are up to date, and that keeps them flexible and adaptive.
It makes sure they reflect on their own approach and the results it delivers.
More productivity due to development achieved through genuine motivation.

You want your colleagues to self-direct their own learning and to be responsible for their own learning process. To make that possible, we have developed the UPgrid. An example of how you can allow your colleagues to learn in a way that suits them. That way, everyone stays involved and motivated. And you achieve the results you want.
