Adoption Strategies

Best Practices for Adoption

These guidelines outline our top strategies for promoting learning adoption and cultivating a strong learning environment.

  1. Top-down buy-in:
    Securing support from top management is crucial. When leadership clearly communicates the importance of a learning initiative and sets expectations, the likelihood of successful implementation significantly increases.

    Example: A successful approach involves having the head of talent acquisition or CHRO (Chief Human Resources Officer) record a brief video expressing excitement about partnering with Social Talent to enhance recruiters' skills. Emphasizing the time commitment expected for learning reinforces the alignment with company objectives.

  2. Chunk Learning:
    Breaking down learning materials into smaller segments enhances completion rates. Optimal learning paths typically range from 3 to 6 hours. By offering manageable quarterly learning paths, learners are less overwhelmed and more likely to engage effectively.

  3. Leader-Led Learning:
    Involving team leaders in the learning process is essential. Encouraging leaders to engage in discussions with their teams every two weeks fosters a culture of shared learning and practical application.

  4. Assign Completion Dates:
    Setting deadlines motivates learners. For instance, allocating 30 minutes per week for a 5-hour learning path and scheduling completion in 10 to 12 weeks allows for flexibility and ensures progress through timely reminders.

  5. Practising together:
    Encouraging practical application of acquired knowledge is key. Role-playing or workshops can be effective for topics like interviewing or sourcing, providing hands-on experience to reinforce learning.

  6. Communication:
    Consistent communication is vital for sustaining learning engagement. Regular updates and reminders help integrate learning into daily routines and organizational culture.

  7. Recognition Programme:
    Highlighting top performers or most improved learners can boost motivation and commitment. Hosting certification parties or virtual celebrations is a great way to effectively acknowledge milestones achieved.


  8. Celebrate Success:
    Recognising and celebrating learner achievements is essential. Highlighting top performers or most improved learners fosters motivation and commitment. Consider hosting certification parties or virtual celebrations to acknowledge milestones effectively.
