How RBC Invests in Learning as a Performance Enabler
Today's employees are overwhelmed, distracted, and impatient – and flexibility in where and how they learn is increasingly important. Likewise, it is imperative that we develop our people to lead and contribute in the new world of work.
As the world of work changes, it's not just how we work today that matters; it's also how we will need to work differently tomorrow. To thrive and lead in the New World of Work we need to continually learn and adapt – embrace new ways of working. Join Tristan Cammaert, RBC's Vice President, Learning, to hear how RBC is promoting and cultivating an "Always Learning" mindset; making learning simpler, relevant and an enabler of performance; and enabling our people with the skills, capabilities and behaviors to thrive in the future.
You will also get an insider look at RBC's recent research, the Humans Wanted Report, and learn how it supports their internal re-skilling, upskilling and learning strategies.
