Monthly Continuous Learning Call Overview
The Learning and Development (L&D) team previously hosted a monthly Monthly Continuous Learning call. The series was intended to showcase all of the L&D initatives taking place at GitLab as well as provide a space for team members to ask questions. The series was replaced in FY22 with involvement in company-wide Group Conversations in an effor to increase participation and attendance in the calls.
Goals
- Spur a culture of curiosity and continuous learning by highlighting all the initiatives we have taking place in learning & development.
- Increase engagement and improve team member satisfaction and productivity by advancing understanding of available L&D resources

Hosting a Monthly Continuous Learning Call
The following process outlines steps for the L&D team to take each month when planning and implementing monthly calls.
Planning Issue Template: Open an Monthly Continuous Learning Call issue template in the L&D Project. Steps outlined below are also included in the issue template and are included here as reference.
- Create a HelpLab request to coordinate a Zoom meeting on the company calendar. This meeting should be set up to live stream to the GitLab unfiltered YouTube channel. Consider hosting the call at least 2 times to best accommodate for multiple time zones.
- Create slide deck for presentation. Make a copy of a previous month’s presention in the Continuous Learning Campaign Google Folder
- Coordinate slide deck with appropriate enablement audiences (i.e DIB, Field Enablement, Professional Services, Marketing Enablement, etc)
- Update slide deck for presentation with feedback from coordinated audiences
- Open a feedback issue for questions and comments to be shared asynchronously.
- Coordinate an announcement of the call in the #company-fyi Slack channel from Sid or another executive/manager who will be featured that month. The post should be shared 1 business day before the call. This post should include a link to the slide deck and coresponding issue. See notes below for a template that can be shared.
