Importance of Self-Direction in Development

More and more organizations are choosing to give their employees more responsibility and freedom to design their own work. Encouraging self-direction can lead to increased engagement, higher motivation and better performance. But how can you encourage this in your employees?

WorkBoost’s role in self-direction

WorkBoost can play an important role in encouraging self-direction within your organization. By offering small learning experiences daily, WorkBoost can help employees. Help them to develop themselves and increase their knowledge and skills. But that’s not all: WorkBoost can also help develop the right mindset for self-direction.

Principle 1: Frequency over intensity

A key principle of WorkBoost is frequency over intensity. By offering a small learning experience each day, employees are given the opportunity to reflect daily on their own performance and development. This reflection can lead to greater awareness of their own strengths and areas of development and can help increase their self-confidence and motivation.

Principle 2: Respect the delusion of the day.

Another principle of WorkBoost is to respect the delusion of the day. Employees often have busy schedules and need to be able to adapt quickly to changing circumstances. By making learning experiences short enough not to be distracting and long enough to provide a valuable learning experience, WorkBoost can help develop the right mindset for self-direction.

Principle 3: Encourage experimentation by rewarding it

A third principle of WorkBoost is to encourage experimentation through reward. Employees can earn BoostCoins by applying new knowledge and skills in practice and experimenting with new ways of working. Rewarding these experiences can help increase employees’ confidence in their own abilities and help encourage self-direction.

Conclusion

Encouraging self-direction is an important issue in our society today. WorkBoost can help develop the right mindset for self-direction by offering small learning experiences daily, respecting the delusion and encouraging experimentation.
