As the pace of change in the workplace accelerates and training budgets are challenged, it becomes essential for employees to learn as they go along. In this connected world, new ways of learning are emerging all of the time, whether the learning is planned, unexpected or self-directed. For those responsible for learning and development in organizations, understanding how this kind of informal learning can be utilised and measured is key to providing efficient and cost-effective ways of delivering on organizational objectives around people development. Informal Learning in Organizations offers practical tools, including checklists and action plan questions, to guide the Learning and Development practitioner in how to design and implement an informal learning strategy that is personalised to the needs of their own organization. It combines the latest thinking on new technology and practices with established theory and research to provide an evidence-based review of informal learning and its true impact. It offers an overview of how and why informal learning resonates with people, how it works and when and why it doesn't. This book will assist the reader in making sense of their connected environments to create a continuous learning culture in their organizations.

Reviews for Informal Learning in Organizations: How to Create a Continuous Learning Culture
Although I have some 40 years' experience of learning and development, I continue to learn a great deal from Robin Hoyle. He has that unique gift for explaining things in a way that we can understand and relate to. I especially admire his forthright 'tell it like it is' approach.
Colin Steed FLPI Chief Executive, Learning and Peformance Institute Robin breaks down the myths and jargon that annoyingly frequent the L&Dprofession, into highly readable sections, balanced with humour and candour.Never short of an opinion, at times controversial, Robin conveys a genuine and authentic view of the way we learn in the 21st-century workplace.
Jonathan Satchell Chief Executive, Learning Technologies Group plc Whilst informal learning cannot be 'managed' in the traditional sense, in the context of today's fast-changing workplaces, it needs to be actively encouraged, facilitated and supported by today's learning professionals.Robin Hoyle's practical advice shows you how!
Laura Overton Founder, Towards Maturity Never dull, this is essential reading for anyone concerned with improving the capability of modern organizations. It is a well-researched work of reference and a good read-an uncommon publication.
Professor Lord Patel of Bradford OBE Chairman, Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Exceptionally well written, immanently practical, and thoroughly 'user friendly', Informal Learning in Organizations: How to Create a Continuous Learning Culture will prove to be an enduringly valuable instructional reference for corporate managers seeking to maximize the productivity of their work force at all levels. Very strongly recommended for corporate, community, and academic library Business Studies reference collections.
Paul T. Vogel Vogel's Bookshelf Informal Learning in Organizations explains how to design informal learning solutions, why informal learning resonates with people, how it works, and even when it doesn't. Refreshingly honest and opinionated (which makes for an interesting read), Hoyle's guide to informal learning will have you thinking about training in a whole new light.
