How do you develop your knowledge and skills to do your job better?
One must not forget that learning/knowledge is a lifelong pursuit. There are so many ways to learn in today’s environment; webinars, podcasts, books, magazines, radio, television, DVD, YouTube, classes, etc. I personally find topics that I need to improve in my current job position or topics I want to learn more about due to foreseeable job changes. For example, I read some books about payroll and human resource management when I was taking on the Supervisory role of those areas. I continue that same concept as my career has changed over the years. I prefer reading books since I can refer back to those books at a later time and I feel the books provide a more in-depth learning opportunity versus a webinar. But no matter your personal preference since everyone learns differently, the important point is to never stop gaining knowledge.
