I recently had the opportunity to sit down with a representative of The Wall Street Journal. We discussed the need for companies to help employees increase their business acumen to compete most effectively in today’s times.
With the fast pace of business, it’s hard to find time to keep up with news or developments in your industry, not to mention the rest of the world. Professional development can fall by the wayside as well.
I was pleased to learn about a relatively new program The Journal introduced called the "Business SmartKit." The Wall Street Journal is a natural resource for providing timely and relevant business information. This program leverages the publication’s content in a customized way for organizations that want to engage employees in meaningful discussions about specific industry issues.
It’s an excellent tool to help employees apply their learning in real time so they can make an immediate impact in their own business environment. Leadership development programs of all kinds will benefit from this kind of approach.
I like ideas that stimulate good thinking and engage employees in the workplace.
I think the Business SmartKit is a smart resource for any business.
