There are two broad areas of focus:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Define an authentic company purpose.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Employees are <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mckinsey.com\/capabilities\/people-and-organizational-performance\/our-insights\/help-your-employees-find-purpose-or-watch-them-leave\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">5x<\/span> more likely<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to be excited to work at a company that has a clear vision about its impact on the world. HR can hold executives accountable in defining an organisational purpose that rises above corporate-speak, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">help employees feel part of this process.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Help employees connect their personal sense of purpose with their day-to-day work<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Employees who have a chance to reflect on their own sense of purpose and how it connects to that of their organisation are <\/span><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mckinsey.com\/capabilities\/people-and-organizational-performance\/our-insights\/help-your-employees-find-purpose-or-watch-them-leave\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3x more likely<\/span><\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to find fulfillment at work. HR can help employees better understand and relate to your organisation\u2019s mission. It\u2019s critical to ensure that middle managers are committed to this process: only <\/span><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mckinsey.com\/capabilities\/people-and-organizational-performance\/our-insights\/help-your-employees-find-purpose-or-watch-them-leave\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7% of employees<\/span><\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> reporting to managers who didn\u2019t allow for reflection felt fulfilled at work.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here, we focus on the second area. Specifically, we\u2019ll explore how accounting for the purpose gap in your L&amp;D strategy will lead to a workforce that finds a deeper alignment between their professional work and their personal values and purpose.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How an effective L&amp;D strategy can create purpose-driven organisations<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Training programs are especially well-suited to create a space for your employees to reflect on how their own sense of purpose maps to that of your organisation. But this entails rethinking what \u2018training\u2019 means, based on a few principles:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Training is not a cure-all.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Changing your approach to training will likely be ineffective, unless you also align it with your company goals and broader people strategy. Not doing so will likely lead to <\/span><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/trainingindustry.com\/articles\/strategy-alignment-and-planning\/why-a-lack-of-alignment-causes-learning-strategies-to-fail\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">wasted resources, disengaged employees and poor results<\/span><\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, even if you adopt \u2018cutting-edge\u2019 training models based on VR, AR, AI and the like.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Training is (part of) a dialogue.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This works on two levels: firstly, a long line of research (arguably dating as far back as Socrates) shows that dialogue is a far more effective training approach than one-way lectures, exercises or videos. Secondly, employees don\u2019t experience training in a vacuum, but as a reflection of your investment in their development. The quality and effectiveness of training will go a long way in determining the level of trust employees place on the HR function.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Managerial inputs. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Accounting for managerial inputs ensures that your training addresses real-world needs and challenges in your workforce.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Managers should embody organisational values. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More often than not, managers will also be employees\u2019 first recourse when it comes to raising questions of purpose, fulfilment and connection to work. They ought to be effective ambassadors of your company values.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<blockquote><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Training is about getting leaders to talk to each other, if they learn something it\u2019s a bonus<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Head of Learning, Major European Telecoms provider<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><b>Kiin\u2019s solution to the purpose gap<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At Kiin, we partner with organisations to reimagine training along each of these areas:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Strategic, measurable training<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: We first develop an understanding of your broader people, culture and L&amp;D strategy. We also define a rigorous, science-based framework to help you measure the impact of training.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Immersive training enables learning by feeling<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: VR helps us produce training that\u2019s immersive and interactive. By its very nature, VR gives you a level of interactivity and dialogue that\u2019s far deeper than traditional formats. In our most recent tests, VR training led to 4x the level of intended behaviours in employees than traditional training.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Debriefs: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Debriefs immediately follow the VR training and help facilitate meaningful reflections about the training, including how learners can bring its insights into day-to-day practice. We partner with expert facilitators, psychologists and coaches to design effective debriefs tailored to the specific learning being deployed.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Evidence-based training for employees and managers alike<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: We conduct onsite research and lived experience interviews to ensure that our training is based on inputs and recommendations from your own staff. Furthermore, we design bespoke training that helps managers and employees alike understand your organisational values and purpose.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Training that facilitates embodiment.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Again, VR allows us to design training that helps them embody your values in a far deeper, more direct way than traditional approaches.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This isn\u2019t training for training\u2019s sake. Its underlying objective is to help you breathe life into your organisational purpose and values in a way that does justice to both, them and your employees.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In our newly published case study, we show how we partnered with a Fortune 500 company to address increased reports of sexual harassment in their blue-collar workforce that led to a multi-million dollar lawsuit. By designing VR training that placed learners in the shoes of victims and created a safe space for practicing effective bystander interventions, we helped the workforce become 4x more likely to intervene effectively than before.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At a time when workforces are far more prone to polarisation, miscommunication and a lack of purpose, an authentic, well-designed L&amp;D program can go a long way in rekindling your employee\u2019s sense of connection with your organisation. The rewards are here to be reaped, for those who seek them.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A McKinsey survey asked employees if their job helped them live their broader purpose in life.
