Mirela Boca, Community Manager, Avocado by BestJobs: “To meet a better efficiency of learning programs, managers and employees need to set common achievable outcomes”

“Avocado by BestJobs is a personalized learning platform that facilitates access to over 115 coaches, mentors and therapists through one-to-one video sessions. It is both for personal use, and also as L&D solution on employee learning benefit for companies. It’s based on an accessible monthly subscription.

Our biggest challenge was to make the switch from training to coaching or mentoring.

There is a need to keep the engagement rate of employees, to keep the retention rate at a decent level, so companies are choosing outsourced learning platforms like Avocado to develop soft skills, communication skills, people skills, empathy and so on,” Mirela Boca, Community Manager, Avocado by BestJobs, said during the fifth edition of Learning & Development Conference organized by The Diplomat-Bucharest.

“A mentor can make a difference. The profile of the employee as the beneficiary of learning programs are, from our findings, the middle to top management, operational departments, mostly the key people of companies, or the ones that embrace new roles and face unknown situations and work contexts.

To the effectiveness of learning programs – the challenge depends on who sets the goal of the program. In practice and tradition work environment, a manager would want to keep the control and see the performance indicators following the training program offered to an employee. To build a more effective approach, managers and employees need to align in terms of common searched outcomes.”
