Recommendation

The digital age looks to be as impactful as the Industrial Revolution, warn professionals from the Boston Consulting Group (BCG), and companies that ignore history’s lessons are likely to retread serious missteps. Thus, the BCG team calls for a new “covenant” between employer and employee that centers on mutually beneficial workplace learning. This important, yet sometimes dry primer explains how to create and enact a “learning contract” that will help your business grow while keeping your people employed.

Take-Aways

  • The digital age brings businesses the challenge and opportunity to usher in an “industrious revolution” by forming “learning contracts” with their workforces.
  • The contract joins employers and employees in a pledge to ongoing learning that stays apace of technological disruption – thus keeping firms growing and workers employed.
  • Through learning contracts, the firm commits to measuring and rewarding the results of learning
