Why Learning Styles Matter in the Workplace
Have you taken time to look around during meetings to see what your fellow coworkers are doing? Notice how some ask questions for clarity, some of them take notes, and others ask for practical examples. What you’re seeing are clear signs of learning styles being used. A few benefits include:
- Finishing tasks faster
- Better communication
- Less mistakes
Ways to use Your Learning Style in the Workplace
You might have heard of or even used the VARK questionnaire while in school. But learning styles can go far beyond the classroom. There are many ways to use your learning style in the workplace. Here are some practical ways to make different styles of learning work for you:
Visual
Visual learners learn best by sight. Try using pictures, charts, flashcards and especially PowerPoint presentations during meetings or in your everyday tasks. This will ensure that you understand what your responsibilities are.
Auditory
If you fall into this category, it means you understand concepts better through listening to others. To boost your career, you could listen to podcasts about your industry or find a mentor to guide you.
Reading/Writing
Did you enjoy taking notes and doing research during your studies? Well you don’t have to leave it behind just because you’re working full-time. Reading/writing is considered the “traditional” way to learn. In the workplace, this method can come in the form of writing instructions in a diary or reading through reports.
Kinesthetic
Kinesthetic learners thrive with hands-on approach to tasks. You might thrive with outdoor careers that allow you to use all your senses throughout the day. If you’re struggling to understand instructions, you can ask your coworkers for practical examples.
