Rewards of A Learning Organization

First, through learning, new skills and knowledge are acquired. Notably, technological trends and globalization necessitate learning new skills. For instance, automation of processes within the organization and support of virtual teams in an organization requires employees to keep up to date with information technologies (Yadav & Agarwal, 2016). Thus, through learning, organizations compete over strong technological foundations. Also, through learning new cultural aspects, organizations synch better in the global market and run cross-cultural operations successfully.

Secondly, learning organizations enjoy the benefits of creativity and innovation. In the learning processes, employees are likely to innovate various organization structures, processes, and models, or innovate new ones (Yadav & Agarwal, 2016). For instance, in cross-cultural learning, employees may identify a market gap within a marginalized community. Learning the consumption patterns of such a market may increase the organization’s market. Besides, leaning reveals the nature of current trends and helps to predict future situations. With present and future analyses of various market situations, it is feasible to innovate competitive strategies. Therefore, learning organizations leverage innovation and creativity.

Thirdly, an organization’s performance is improved. Since most employees start working at entry-level jobs, continuous personal and professional growth through learning improves their performance. Individual improvement of performance reflects in the overall improvement of an organization’s performance. Thus, learning organizations experience improved organization performance.
