Formal and Self-Directed Learning at LinkedIn
Is LinkedIn’s approach to train strategic? Why or why not?
I completely agree that the training is strategic as we can see from the context
the newly hired employees have weekly plan in their job. Here we can understand
that the company is trying to focus on the result and quality by setting goals for
its workers. This improves the effectiveness of the job in this way.
At LinkedIn, 70% of training is informal and self-directed and 30% is formal,
including classroom training and working in teams.
Do you think this is the right mix for LinkedIn? Why? Should all companies
adopt the same mix? Why or why not?
In our fast developing life people are supposed to catch up in skills, ability,
knowledge, experience needed in their everyday life and especially in their work
