Whether you’re an expert tailor, a digital marketing genius, or you like to get your hands dirty on a construction site, there’s one thing that every business has in common: an endless pursuit of productivity. How can you get an extra 0.1% edge over your competitors? How can you motivate employees to not just go through the motions, but go above and beyond? How do you ensure employees buy into your broader organisational strategy? While it’s easy to overcomplicate things and implement trendy productivity hacks, ultimately, the answer is simple. Productivity means fostering an environment where employees feel happy, valued, and engaged. 

But when everyone wants to boost their productivity, what will set your team apart? What is your point of difference? As is often the case, the answer is L&D. Creating a culture of learning can have a massive impact on your team’s productivity. For example, organisations with strong learning cultures are 52% more productive and 17% more profitable than their peers. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. 

With this in mind, we’ll analyse how L&D can improve your team’s productivity. We’ll start by examining the state of productivity, before outlining five ways L&D can boost your team’s productivity. 

While every business wants to be more productive, it’s rarely that straightforward. Employees are only at their productive best when they feel valued and engaged. Thus, when it comes to productivity, you get out what you put in. If you’re merely going through the motions and paying lip service to your employees’ wellbeing, their effort and productivity will reflect that. 

Research shows that the average employee is productive for just 2 hours and 53 minutes per day, or 31% of an average 8-hour workday. Additionally, just 21% of workers say they are productive for an entire day. For managers and team leaders, these statistics should have alarm bells ringing. 

So, what factors affect workplace productivity? For starters, TeamStage finds that stress costs employers over $500 billion annually. That’s right, $500 billion. Unsurprisingly, 41% of employees say stress negatively impacts their productivity, while work overload reduces productivity by 68%. Finally, fatigue costs businesses $1,967 per employee per year in lost productivity. 

These points are worth emphasising: stress, fatigue, and unsustainable workloads all negatively impact productivity. The solution? Our brains need breaks. To maintain productivity, we need a chance to switch off and decompress, or else burnout is inevitable. A study by Microsoft demonstrates this, finding that participants who took short meditation breaks between meetings showed brainwave patterns with positive levels of frontal alpha asymmetry, which correlates to higher focus and engagement.

Interruptions also play a considerable role in declining workplace productivity. According to Time Magazine, the average office worker is interrupted a whopping 56 times per day, with 80% of these considered trivial interruptions. Even worse, it takes employees 25 minutes and 26 seconds to completely refocus after being interrupted. Obviously, it’s hard to be productive when you’re interrupted that often. 

Other common productivity roadblocks include poor communication, which 86% of professionals say is a leading cause of declining productivity, and unnecessary meetings, with 91% of people admitting they regularly daydream during meetings. 

On the other hand, happiness at work boosts productivity by 20% and working from home can increase productivity by 14%. What’s more, having a strong onboarding process increases productivity by 70%, while 60% of Millennials say flexibility is essential for their productivity. 

Finally, there is a strong correlation between engagement and productivity. According to Gallup’s 2022 State of the Workplace report, just 21% of employees are actively engaged at work. In other words, 79% of employees are disengaged! This is a shocking statistic, which should send a strong message to workplace leaders: take employee wellbeing seriously, or risk disengaged, unproductive workers. 

On the bright side, companies with engaged employees are 17% more productive, while highly engaged employees are twice as productive as the average worker. 

5 ways L&D can boost your team’s productivity 

So, productivity and engagement levels aren’t where most businesses want them to be. And that’s putting it lightly. As such, the question becomes, how can L&D engage employees and boost your team’s productivity? Here are five ways L&D increases productivity.

1. The more you put in, the more you get out

As we’ve covered previously, failing to invest in digital learning can be incredibly costly in the long run.

IBM finds that every dollar invested in online learning results in $30 worth of productivity. It’s the gift that keeps on giving! What’s more, well-trained employees increase their productivity by 10% on average. 

Further, in a recent survey, 42% of respondents said productivity levels increased significantly after introducing L&D initiatives, with some adding that productivity levels skyrocketed by as much as 40%. 

Accordingly, 72% of organisations believe their business gains a competitive advantage by investing in digital learning — largely due to the productivity boost. 

According to a recent report, 80% of employees say that L&D increases their productivity. It’s worth taking a second to reiterate that point: 4 out of 5 employees think they are more productive thanks to L&D. 

That’s not all, as there is once again a strong correlation between productivity and engagement. 75% of employees say L&D benefits their engagement and overall job satisfaction. Moreover, 90% of HR managers agree that training improves employee productivity and development.

Lastly, 91% of companies say upskilling and reskilling have led to a productivity boost, while 80% of employees say upskilling and reskilling have boosted their confidence. 

At this point, it’s clear that L&D is an effective productivity booster. But exactly how effective is it? A study by the National Center on the Educational Quality of the Workforce (EQW) sought to quantify this. 

During the study, researchers increased the number of workplace L&D opportunities and the value of office equipment by 10% each. These increases led to an 8.6% productivity gain when employees had more access to L&D vs a 3.4% productivity gain for upgraded office equipment. 

As such, not only is L&D an excellent way to boost productivity, but it is more effective than other common productivity-boosting tactics. 

We’ve spoken time and time again about the benefits of developing a strong learning culture. For instance, high-performing organisations are 5x more likely to have an extensive learning culture.

Given this, it should be no surprise that a strong learning culture can also boost productivity. Organisations with strong learning cultures are 52% more productive, 17% more profitable, and 92% more likely to develop novel products and processes! 

As we’ve established, there is a strong correlation between productivity and engagement. Remember, companies with engaged employees are 17% more productive. 

And, surprise surprise, L&D is a fantastic way to increase engagement. In fact, 92% of people say well-planned training programs have a positive effect on their engagement. 

Additionally, Culture Amp finds that employees who have access to the appropriate L&D materials are 21% more engaged than those who don’t.

Want more productive, engaged employees? Look no further than L&D. 

Productivity means fostering an environment where employees feel happy, valued, and engaged. With this in mind, we’ll analyse how L&D can improve your team’s productivity.

Today we are announcing that Go1 has acquired Blinkist, a mobile-first learning app summarizing key ideas from professional books and podcasts, which is used by tens of millions of people worldwide. The acquisition forms the foundation of an innovative new model of corporate learning, which seeks to engage learners through their day-to-day lives.

At Go1, our goal is to provide organizations with access to high-quality, meaningful content, and we can now take that a step further to meet learners where they are. It's a model that's unmatched in the learning market, and one we're very excited about.

By joining forces, we can offer our customers and partners access to Blinkist's full library of digests of key ideas from professional development books, which have already proven to be among Go1's most popular and engaging titles. Importantly, in time we can give users the power to learn outside traditional workplace settings. Employees will be able to read, listen, or watch content at any depth — a sound bite, a 15-minute summary, or a full course — on any device, and at any time or location.  

“We started Blinkist as a service for learners but saw growing interest from companies in recent years,” said Holger Seim, CEO of Blinkist. “Combining forces with Go1 lets us capitalize on this trend and establish Blinkist as a strong addition to companies’ learning mix, while continuing to grow our consumer brand.”  

Go1 and Blinkist share a common goal of fostering a lifelong love of learning, and the two organizations already have a strong partnership in place. The combination of the Blinkist and Go1 libraries represents a powerful set of learning assets for customers of both companies. We will keep our customers and partners updated as we integrate Blinkist into the Go1 product portfolio and build out new capabilities.

“I have been following the Go1 journey for a number of years and believe in the impact and opportunity that education affords,” said Charles Conn, chair of Patagonia, co-founder and partner of Monograph Capital. “As a co-author of Bulletproof Problem Solving, I know first-hand how critical it is to reach a broader audience and it is great to have our audiobook, book summary, and short course all available through one subscription in the future. Go1's acquisition of Blinkist will significantly expand top content offerings to its users, increasing access and knowledge from authors and researchers to empower learners and organizations across the world.”

To the Blinkist team: We're proud to have you join us at Go1!

Today we are announcing that Go1 has acquired Blinkist, a mobile-first learning app summarizing key ideas from professional books and podcasts, which is used by tens of millions of people worldwide.

Go1 acquires Blinkist, launching a new model of learning

We're proud to announce that Go1 has acquired mobile-first learning app Blinkist. 

Blinkist connects people with powerful ideas from leading authors and experts to broaden perspectives, gain knowledge, and spark understanding in all areas of their life, both personal and professional. Used by over 25 million people worldwide, Blinkist finds the most relevant, impactful books and podcasts and distills them down to their key ideas, which can be read or listened to in 15-minute explainers called Blinks. In addition to individual learners, over 1,500 organizations around the globe have already chosen Blinkist for Business to empower their teams at their point of need—anytime, anywhere. 

The acquisition of Blinkist is a major step to accelerate our vision of engaging a billion people with learning they love.  

Our goal is to provide organizations with access to high-quality, meaningful content, and we can now take this a step further by meeting learners where they are. For more than 40 percent of online corporate learners, that's on their cell phone – and this is where Blinkist excels.  

By joining forces, Go1 and Blinkist are disrupting the corporate learning landscape to create the first offering that serves the whole learner. Now there is a new model that allows a user to jump in at any depth – a sound bite, a 15-minute summary or a full course – on any device, and at any time or location. 

It's an approach that actively influences more learners to engage with more content, enabling our customers to achieve their learning goals and recognize genuine business impact. 

What are the benefits for my organization? 

The model provided by Go1 and Blinkist is unmatched in the learning market. We believe that its capacity to support learners' needs and drive business impact for our customers, Blinkist provides us with a significant competitive edge. In turn, this will help our content partners to reach more organizations and more learners and deliver growth and scale. 

What are the changes to Go1's content model? 

We understand that Blinkist's approach to content may raise some questions about Go1's core operating model. However, we want to reassure you that this will not change. 

Blinkist works with book authors and publishers to produce summaries of existing content – and on that point it's important for us to be clear that Go1 has no plans to become a content creator. As mentioned above, Go1 and Blinkist are exploring the ability to bring content summary capabilities to select content partners to access 

Similarly, Go1 will remain platform agnostic, allowing us to maintain our strong relationships with our content partners. Blinkist already follows a similar model with publishers and authors to generate high-value content. 

Lastly, although Blinkist is primarily aimed at the consumer market, it does have a growing list of enterprise customers. Go1 will continue to focus on providing high-quality learning experiences to organizations and their employees, with our content partners now having the opportunity to reach Blinkist's enterprise customers in addition to our existing customers. 

Together, Go1 and Blinkist are working hard to identify new opportunities for our customers and partners. It's an exciting process, and we'll keep you updated as we go.

Presented by Go1, this HR digital summit sessions focused on empowering neurodiverse talent and the importance of inclusivity in Learning and Development (L&D) spaces. Featured guests on the panel included Louis Chesney, Neurodiversity Product Manager at RethinkCare, Mandy Rutherford, L&D Manager Wave Utilities, and Nick Ramsay, Enterprise Account Executive at Go1.  

Kicking off the discussion, host Kieran Howells, head of content at HR Grapevine, asked the panel the key benefits behind instilling an inclusive learning culture whilst the audience considered how inclusive their own organisations currently were.  

The panel summarised neurodiversity in the workplace as an opportunity to harness people’s differences in order to make impactful business changes. A neurodiverse workforce offers a variation of perspectives and, in tandem, multiple solutions to a potential business problem. Louis expanded on this, noting that the larger gaps between a neurodiverse individual's strengths and challenges should be considered early on in the hiring process, as this allows organisations to better tailor their interviewing, onboarding, and training strategies to the specific needs of individuals. 

Historically, content education and traditional learning conditions haven’t catered for people's neurodiverse needs and although the pandemic accelerated more flexibility in learning, Mandy highlighted that neurodiversity is very much still a developing space. The poll results echoed this, revealing that 66% of the audience rated their organisation as “somewhat inclusive”.  

So what are some of the challenges that organisations still face? The panel identified psychological safety and learning stigmas as the key barriers restricting the learning journey of neurodiverse individuals. However, Louis expressed that such challenges can be mitigated through the cultivating of a safe learning environment that avoids jargon terms, and encourages both mistakes and open communication, and provides opportunities for individuals to showcase their knowledge and enhance their skills in diverse ways. Mandy then highlighted the critical role that managers play in building this inclusive environment, suggesting that leaders need to be provided with the resources they need to support neurodiverse employees.  

Nick was in agreement, flagging that such inclusivity is crucial in order to avoid cases of discrimination against neurodiverse individuals.  

Next, the panel considered how new emerging technologies can be utilised to develop inclusive L&D strategies, through identifying current and future skill gaps. Louis shed insight on how improved data systems can match individuals to the relevant learning content, subsequently benefiting the individuals career trajectory, as well as aligning with overall business objectives. 

Rounding off the discussion, the panel answered an array of questions from the audience, including concerns around current economic struggles and how reduced budgets can affect the availability of neurodiverse resources.  

The panel presented solutions such as offering micro-learning sessions that are scalable and can be disseminated across the entire workforce. Additionally, companies should recognise their existing neurodiverse talent who can champion such inclusive learning initiatives internally.  

The panel concurred that it’s vital that learning is built into existing everyday practices, acknowledging that an individual's time is a valuable resource. Nick concludes that wherever possible, learning should be personalised, digestible and have clear signposting to further development opportunities. A true learning culture, Mandy added, is one where everyone is considered on the journey.
