CJ Olive Young Expands Employee Participation Learning Platform 'Learning Cell'... "Colleagues as Tutors"

CJ Olive Young's employee participation-based in-house learning system, Learning Cell.

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chunhan] CJ Olive Young announced on the 26th that it is expanding the strengths of its young and flexible organizational culture through the employee participation-based in-house learning platform ‘Learning Cell.’ Learning Cell is characterized by all processes, from topic selection to course registration and lecture delivery, being carried out through employee participation. Following its introduction last year, it will be further expanded this year and operated in both the first and second halves of the year.

Learning Cell is organized every semester through surveys targeting employees. Employees can freely express their opinions, from desired lecture topics to recommendations of colleagues with expertise. Curriculums and educational content are determined based on high-demand topics, and anyone can take the desired lectures regardless of their job or position through course registration.

Another strength is that the lecturers (tutors) are Olive Young employees themselves, not external instructors. Because they have a high understanding of the organization, they provide customized education that can be effectively applied to practical work. Additionally, the lecture methods have been diversified to include lecture-style, Q&A, and discussion formats tailored to the content and tutors.

Kim Yoonjeon (27), an employee who took the ‘Understanding and Utilization of Olive Young Analysis Terms’ course last month, said, “Since a colleague became the tutor, communication and empathy were much better because there was a shared understanding of the company,” and added, “I am highly satisfied because I could learn specific and vivid information that can be immediately applied to actual work.”

Olive Young plans to further develop a ‘social learning’ system where members learn autonomously through mutual interaction beyond Learning Cell. The goal is to spread a self-participatory learning culture that autonomously produces content and actively shares information using internal communication platforms.

An Olive Young official said, “Learning Cell was devised to organize lectures with content that employees truly need and to develop organizational capabilities together with colleagues who have expertise,” and added, “We expect to further enhance Olive Young’s unique strengths that grow together based on a young and flexible organizational culture.”
