New for 2020

OSS Foundation Programme | 29th June – 3rd July 2020 | St. Hugh's College, Oxford

Research shows that Learning & Development professionals are increasingly looking to use a blend of online and offline learning to get the best out of their people. According to the LinkedIn Learning 2020 Workplace Learning Report a key strategic focus for over a third of global L&D professionals was to enable self-directed learning with online learning solutions.

Previous research also showed that 58% of workers enjoy learning at their own pace, consuming information and undertaking assignments online at a time that best suits them.

That is why we're delighted to announce that the 2020 OSS Foundation Programme will be undergoing its biggest upgrade yet - a 12-month digitally-supported learning experience.

Not only will delegates attend the inspirational 5-days at St. Hugh’s College, Oxford, they’ll also gain access to a range of online tools to help them maximise the residential and subsequently support them in taking their learning back to the workplace.

Learning is the 2nd most-desired workplace benefit, so offering a longer learning journey is a great way to keep employees happy and thriving. Not only will your team’s skill set grow, they will be happier too.

ADVANTAGES

  • Learning Experience Platform (LXP) - The Foundation Digital Journey is built on a flexible, content rich LXP platform that is built with a focus on putting the learning experience first.
  • Maximising the residential – The Digital Journey enables delegates to engage with OSS Retail prior to attending the 5-day residential. This ensures all delegates are fully briefed, prepared and in the right frame of mind to maximise their time at St. Hugh’s.
  • Extending the learning – Beyond the residential delegates are supported to deepen and embed their learning in their workplace.
  • Flexible learning – As well as being immersed in the experiential residential at St Hugh’s the LXP allows delegates to continue their learning through bite-size modules. This ensures that they can work through elements of the programme at times and in environments that suit them best.
  • 360 visibility - Organisations gain insights and visibility into their delegates progress as they travel through the 12-month programme.
  • Increased networking - Delegates have the opportunity to network with delegates from other retailers but also to discuss the key learning within their own company via the LXP forum capabilities.
  • Programme notifications – The Digital Journey allows delegates to directly receive announcements and information related to the programme (such as reminders, things to consider, advice for attendance).
  • Connection with OSS Retail and BRC Learning – the LXP platform allows delegates to directly ask any questions to OSS throughout the programme.
  • Learning via the App – delegates can access the programme on their phone via the HowNow app on iOS and Android.
