Program Design Principles
Elevate HR takes a different approach to learning by embracing an experiential style that focuses on peer-to-peer discovery and discussion focused on key topics. Program participants will learn the frameworks they need to determine how to perform in real-world situations, supported by various activities to support practice.
1
Peer-to-Peer Discovery
Elevate HR uses peer-to-peer discovery as a key learning method because it is highly engaging and has strong memory value. Peer learning is much more likely to be retained for later use than lecture-based learning alone.
2
Experiential Rather Than Lecture-Based Learning
Elevate HR embraces experiential learning because of its potential to drive business value. When learning is immediately applied into functionally specific and business-relevant contexts, new behaviors are dramatically more likely to become productive work habits.
3
Engrained, Sustained Learning
Learning doesn’t happen overnight. What we do in the program is just the first step. Learning is evaluated through a pre and post program 360 and sustained by learning reinforcements over several months after the sessions finish to keep new behaviors top of mind for participants. This ensures you see the return on your investment.
