embrace the ambiguity of a postpandemic world. In today's dynamic, hyper-competitive, and ever-changing global economy organizations need to make investing in the personal growth and professional development of its employees a strategic imperative. Doing so requires organizationsto think differently about training its workforce, adapt new strategies of employee engagement, and create a more agile approach to human capital management. Since the new reality is that life in a postpandemic world will look different than it did prior to the global health care crisis employees should be encouraged to engage in a self-directed training program to enhance their future potential. Such a program provides employees with the opportunity to learn at their own pace, in a safe environment, and at a convenient time of day. By shifting the focus of control over to the employee, individuals maintain the self-determination required to identify, develop, and enhance the essential skills necessary to embrace the ambiguity in a postpandemic world. By engaging in self-directed learning employees will increase their self-awareness, further their sense of the world around them, and reflect on the intersection of the two. |
