399 — How to build engagement with your content libraries

The Mind Tools L&D Podcast

Digital learning content offers a scalable, always-on option to help your people build their skills and overcome workplace challenges. But often these libraries get dusty, bogged down by out-of-date content with little relevance, or hidden away in a dark corner of the intranet where no one can find them.

So in this episode of The Mind Tools L&D Podcast, Virgin Money’s Martin Ritchie, Digital Learning Manager, joins Ross Garner and Lara to share:

• How Virgin Money raise awareness of their Mind Tools content library

• Techniques for promoting a proactive learning mindset

• ‘Push’ vs ‘pull’ learning.

During the discussion, Ross referenced a recent academic paper: Albarracín, D., Fayaz-Farkhad, B., & Granados Samayoa, J. A. (2024). Determinants of behaviour and their efficacy as targets of behavioural change interventions. Nature Reviews Psychology, 1-16.

In ‘What I Learned This Week’, Ross discussed ‘pebbling’, as covered by The Guardian.
