Unique Challenges in Higher Education

Colleges and universities often struggle to improve employee performance through learning and development (L&D) efforts for various reasons. Here are three of the most common:

Unclear Vision of Professional Development: Universities may have unclear or misaligned visions and strategies regarding leadership development, employee engagement, and culture.

Scarce Resources for Developing People: Limited investment in leadership training, mentoring programs, and skill enhancement can lead to employees feeling undervalued and unprepared for leadership roles at institutions.

Resistance to Change: Administration can be resistant to change due to maintaining status quo and a risk-averse culture.

Scale professional development at your college or university with FranklinCovey’s Impact Platform available through the All Access Pass®.

Exceptional Leaders
 

Great leaders create high-performing teams and drive measurable results. L&D professionals can expand their management program across campus to ensure more leaders consistently develop integrity, empathy, and resilience while developing strategic thinking, communication, and decision-making skills. When leaders exhibit these qualities, they create a more engaging environment where team members are eager to follow, collaborate, and execute the institution’s strategic plan.

Individual and Team Effectiveness

Expand your professional development program by identifying specific skill gaps and offering tailored in-person, live-online, and on-demand courses. Leverage the All Access Pass® across departments to scale individual and team effectiveness in self-management, communication, project management, collaboration, and more.

High-Trust and Inclusive Culture

Promote professional development opportunities and monitor progress toward creating a high-trust/inclusive culture environment across campus. By leveraging data analytics, department heads can collaborate on areas for improvement, celebrate successes, and ensure equitable opportunities for all employees at your institution.
