Training and development are a major pain point!
Training and development are persistent challenges for organizations that desire to upskill and reskill their employees. Some of these challenges noted by human resources managers include a lack of time for training, relevant training content, inadequate tools for training, a lack of leadership buy-in, limited training budgets, and an inability to measure return on investment (LinkedIn, 2023). The most glaring challenge of training and development is the lack of time for training employees. Data indicates that companies on average provide 55 hours of training to their employees per year which equates to little more than an hour of training per week (Cognota, 2021).
Resistance to training.
Another challenge facing organizations is overcoming their employee’s interest in training and development. Some reasons why employees may be disinterested in training and development include finding the training irrelevant to their job or career goals, insufficient time to participate in training while also completing their regular work duties, and a failure to see a clear connection between the training and their performance or advancement opportunities within the organization. Despite these challenges, successful companies must persist in discovering effective training solutions that engage employee interest. A viable training solution that can overcome these challenges is custom eLearning. Custom eLearning is a tailored training solution that is cost-effective, flexible, engaging, and specifically designed to meet the training and development needs of an organization’s employees.
What is custom eLearning?
Custom eLearning solutions are usually developed in several phases. Each phase is designed to close the employee’s skill gap by helping them to acquire new or improve existing skills. In phase one, instructional designers meet with the organization’s stakeholders to conduct performance-based assessments, identify skills gaps, develop training objectives, and draft storyboards for stakeholder approval. The primary tasks of the second phase are developing and implementing training courses with reliability to ensure that the training objectives are achieved. The task of the third phase measures on-the-job performance, surveys employee feedback, tracks training matrices, and evaluate training program efficacy.
Custom eLearning is a pain point reliever!
Custom eLearning is a precise and effective solution that overcomes the pain points experienced by organizations when training employees. One of those pain points for organizations is the training budget. eLearning can significantly reduce the cost of an organization’s training budget as evidenced by the Shell corporation which used eLearning to reduce the cost of their priciest training programs by 90% and save over $200 million (e-student, 2022). Another pain point that eLearning resolves is ROI. Traditional training solutions may not achieve an organization’s goals for ROI, however, data shows that 42% of companies saw increased revenue after implementing eLearning and employees delivered $30 of increased productivity for every $1 invested in eLearning. Custom eLearning also takes 40% to 60% less time for training than traditional learning.
