Employees learn more through their day-to-day work than they do in formal training courses. Just as importantly, of the three manager-led development activities that have the greatest impact on employee performance, two of them—providing experiences that develop and ensuring projects are learning experiences—fall into this category. Helping employees learn through experiences, though, is easier said than done. This guide is designed to offer tips and guidelines for creating and implementing on-the-job learning experiences for your employees. Remember… The messenger matters as much as the message. Examples of these types of experiences include: Filling in for a manager on vacation Mentoring or onboarding a new employee Representing the team at a cross-functional meeting Managing a particular project from start to finish Making a temporary lateral move to another part of the organization Helping launch a new business, initiative, or program Helping turn around a struggling business Presenting the team’s work during a meeting Serving as a liaison between two or more functions Working on a challenging project or initiative Developing a new product or service Interviewing potential employees Teaching a process or course to the team or others Running a team meeting or briefing session Your attempts to develop employees through experiences will have little impact if conducted in the context of an unhealthy relationship. If you are viewed as inconsistent, unfair, or if an employee is dissatisfied with you in general, your attempts to develop your employees will likely fall short. The first step in playing a constructive role in employee development is establishing healthy relationships with your direct reports. Learning Through Experiences Provide Experiences That Develop Employees Beyond helping employees find relevant training courses, managers can assist their employees in meeting their development goals by providing them with work experiences that provide learning opportunities within and outside of their jobs. Among these are on-the-job experiences. Employees can improve their skills or leverage their strengths as they learn on projects or tasks that are part of day-to-day work. Assigning projects which encourage development of targeted skill areas can aid employees significantly in the attainment of their development goals. In essence, you should partner with your employees to “mine” their jobs for projects/activities that will facilitate their development. For example, an employee that is struggling with project management may benefit from managing an aspect of a team project on his/her own. Additionally, you can either pass along existing or create new opportunities for your employees to develop through the use of stretch roles. These stretch roles can further develop an aspect of a skill or strength that an employee may not have otherwise. 1 Examples of Stretch Roles

Employees learn more through their day-to-day work than they do in formal training courses. Just as importantly, of the three manager-led development activities that have the greatest impact on employee performance, two of them—providing experiences that develop and ensuring projects are learning experiences—fall into this category. Helping employees learn through experiences, though, is easier said than done. This guide is designed to offer tips and guidelines for creating and implementing on-the-job learning experiences for your employees. Remember… Meet with your employees throughout a project’s life cycle; discuss challenges and guide your employees as they discover ways to overcome them. Feedback is a valuable learning experience; after a project’s completion, discuss with your direct reports the positive, the negative, and the key lessons learned. Learning Through Experiences Ensure Projects Are Learning Experiences for Employees Most learning occurs on the job. Research indicates that peer networks and on-the-job experiences account for a larger share of employee learning than classroom training. This means that managers must look beyond their organizations’ training catalogues to develop their employees. 1 When feasible, assign projects to employees which will help them achieve their development goals. Create or pass along “stretch roles” for your employees. Assigning projects is one way to strengthen a developmental area. However, assigning projects geared to meet employees’ development objectives by itself is not enough. In essence, experiences do not promote learning in the absence of reflection. By not communicating with your employee throughout the course of a project’s cycle to discuss and guide to resolution any obstacles to completion, you put the project at risk and pass up an opportunity to develop or strengthen your employee’s skills. Once a project is completed, you should provide your employee with honest feedback, discussing what went right, what went wrong, and what lessons were learned. Questions for Post-Project Discussions A framework for this type of post-project, or “after action,” review can include variations on the following questions: What were we trying to do? Describe the objectives of this project and the goals the team hoped to accomplish. What were the actual results? Create a consensus around the results achieved. What were the differences between the results we wanted, the results we achieved, and how did this gap occur? Identify points during the project that caused the undesirable results. What do we do next time? Create a plan for a future similar project incorporating the lessons learned and what needs to be changed. This can also serve as a project plan for other teams engaged in similar projects. ? To think about…
