Growing engagement through learning habits

Growth isn’t just about moving up the ladder. It’s about making progress, feeling closer to mastery and engaging your curiosity.

Figuring out how to do something you couldn’t do before. That’s what keeps people switched on.

And it matters more than you might think — employees who feel like they’re growing in their role are 3.4 times more likely to be engaged (Glint).

The best thing about growth as a lever of engagement? You don’t need to design and deliver elaborate learning programmes (although if you want to, call us). A few simple habits go a long way.

Team Habits That Support Growth

• Do a quick retro after each project
  What worked? What didn’t? What would we try differently next time?

• End the week with a “what we learned” round
  Everyone shares one thing — a small win, a lesson, or a mistake.

• Run a monthly Content Club
  Pick a podcast or article, listen/read ahead, then chat about it over coffee or in a short team slot.

Individual Habits That Make Growth Personal

• Start a learning log
  Every Friday, write down 3 things you learned this week. Doesn’t have to be deep — just real.

• Try something new each week
  A tool, a shortcut, a conversation. You won’t love them all, but the habit of trying matters.

• Check in with a mentor once a month
  Someone who sees things differently and asks good questions. That’s it.

Three Reflection Questions

• What does growth look like in your role right now?

• Are you (and your team) learning something every week?

• Are you looking for progress — or waiting for perfection?
