One of the most relevant global trends in the process of training and developing human resources is online learning systems. They can make your training more interesting and useful for learners, which will logically also increase the employer’s profit.
Staff training not only improves employees’ technical and professional skills, but also increases their motivation and brings them closer to the company’s mission and its vision for the future.
For training to be effective, staff development should be a team activity that includes exciting and interesting ways of acquiring new knowledge and developing skills.
What goals should you include in your staff training program?
• Mobility. Staff training and development should not interrupt dynamic business life. Employees should be able to train whenever they want, from wherever they want.
• Your training should include modern technologies and be easily accessible.
• Collaboration. Your employees should not be trained only individually, but also in groups. This will help build good relationships between them and create a sense that their efforts are directed toward achieving a common goal.
• Engagement. If you make the employees in your company read a long and dry training or listen to a boring lecture after work, the results will not be good. Interactive training methods are far more productive.
• Interaction. If your staff training is designed so that learners need to interact with it, their attention will automatically be drawn to it and the results will be much better.
• Practical and useful content. If learners do not see meaning and value in your training, they will most likely not invest enough time and attention. The content should be targeted and relevant to their interests and responsibilities.
• Accessibility. Training should be placed in a system that is easy to use and will support, not hinder, learners.
• Cost-effectiveness. The cost of staff training should be appropriate to the value and expected results.
Why should human resources departments use an e-learning system?
• HR teams from around the world have been using e-learning systems for years.
• According to statistics, 25% of employees leave their jobs because their employer does not provide enough opportunities for training and development.
• E-learning systems increase staff productivity by around 50%.
• 72% of companies that use effective eLearning solutions outperform the competition and take leading positions in their sector.
• Companies with geographically dispersed offices will be able to train their staff much more easily and with less effort, because the physical presence of all individuals in one place is not required.
• Large companies often work with external experts (contractors) who, in most cases, also need to become familiar with the company policy, its products, and their specific task.
• In the e-learning system, content is uploaded and updated extremely easily. Creating the training is a one-time process, and distributing it takes just one mouse click.
• The process of registering learners is also made easier. You register users with a username and password, and you can assign each employee individual access rights and a role.
• Online training involves lower costs compared with other training methods, as it saves money on transportation, room rental, travel expenses, and more.
• In online learning systems, the results of each training session are measured quickly and easily, as the process is automated.
• An interesting and attention-grabbing way of presenting training material, since e-learning is interactive and even offers the possibility of adding gamification elements.
• Staff training can be conducted online or live with the help of a virtual classroom.
• Content of any type and format can be uploaded into the systems - text, video, audio, multimedia.
• Assessment, progress tracking, and reporting are easier than ever. Results are measured automatically by the system – imagine how much time and effort you will save!
• Specific trainings can be assigned to employees; a time period can be set for completion; tasks can be individual or group-based.
• Employees will be able to train from any type of device (desktop computer, laptop, smartphone, or tablet).
• People who go through your training receive quick and individual feedback on their performance and progress.
