It also extensively reviews the practical training tactics adopted by organizations and learning and development leaders.FindingsThe most significant contribution of this study is highlighting that self-directed learning is not limited to being a function or an approach adopted by employees. There are various ways by which organizations can facilitate learning, encourage and also enable their workforce to own and drive their personal development for future job roles. This study lists eight new learning and development strategies, ranging from tactical to strategic, to facilitate personalized learning in organizations in the prevailing era of flexible working environments in which organizations embrace the hybrid model and offer better work-life integration.Practical implicationsBy cultivating self-directed learning via described strategies, organizations can encourage employees to share performance ownership.Originality/valueThis study is a literature review that highlights the increasing proclivity of employees toward self-directed learning.
