Optimizing Learning and Development in the Workplace


Experts Who Take Action

by David Meyer

Professional learning and teaching expert James McKenna provides a comprehensive program to help companies best enable their people to learn and retain new skills.

Assistant director of professional learning and leadership development at the California Collaborative for Educational Excellence, James McKenna, explains how Learning and Development (L&D) can apply Universal Design for Learning (UDL) to meet individual needs, empower learners, and remove emotional and physical barriers to learning.

Reorganize and Prioritize

When employees must learn new processes, companies often treat that learning as an add-on or extra task, McKenna writes. Typically, management hands down learning assignments, which higher-ups regard as separate from workers’ everyday activities. In the post-pandemic economy, change happens too quickly for this old model to remain effective.
