\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\n

Whether it\u2019s rolling out new software or process across the business or familiarising your employees, find out how to redefine your learning strategy and make it work better for you.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

As a result of rapid digitalisation and changing demographics<\/a> in the workforce, companies are increasingly finding it hard to adapt and struggling to introduce the level of learning needed to close the growing skills gap<\/a><\/strong> and embrace the new opportunities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether it\u2019s rolling out new software or process across the business or familiarising your employees, distributors or channel reps with a recently launched product, it\u2019s important to support this with an intelligently designed learning solution that can conveniently and effectively provide your people with the knowledge and skills they need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Focusing on motivation, location and personalisation,<\/strong> check out some of our suggestions of how you can refine your learning reinforcement strategy and engage employees to learn to the best of their ability:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Integrate gamification technique<\/strong>s<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Intergrate gamification techniques to build fun into the learning pathways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Give recognition at regular intervals<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Give recognition at regular intervals during training \u2013 it can be a powerful motivator and reinforce the value engagement brings. Don\u2019t just consider reward after the learning is complete, consider what can be offered to recognise starting a training journey also.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Communicate the purpose and the value<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Communicate the purpose and the value that your training brings to their role- In the book \u2018The Case against education\u2019, Bryan Caplan suggested that people participate in education more as way of signalling rather than to learn or develop a useful job skill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Leverage the bandwagon effect<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Leverage the bandwagon effect to generate momentum. When your employees are seeking information or want to learn a new skill, before an internet search or diving into their workplace LMS,\u00a055% of them ask a colleague<\/a>.\u00a0Encourage colleagues to share insights and capture testimonials from those who have already completed the learning to engage wider participation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Identify key milestones<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Identify key milestones in the learning journeys that could benefit from a communication prompt. Send timely and tailored communications to provide just the nudge needed to increase engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Leverage<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Leverage goal gradient theory\u00a0\u2013 the principle that we work harder the closer we get to achieving a goal by increasing communication intensity at the beginning and towards the end of a training journey to increase changes of completion success. Those who get off to a fast start in an incentive programme typically finish 57% higher than those who don\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Put learning where your people are<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Give employees the flexibility to absorb the information when they\u2019re not only in the best location but also the best headspace. According to an article in the Harvard Business Review<\/a>, people learn best when they have to learn, so look to create as much \u2018on demand\u2019 content as possible to your corporate training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Incorporate virtual training<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With many people working from home, incorporating training into systems that are already part of their everyday workflow can keep important information front of mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. Overcome<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Overcome the forgetting curve<\/a> by making sure your learning content is relevant to the individual and reflects their situation and role so it can be applied as soon as possible. The more personalisation and specificity you can bring to your training, the more engaged participants will be. German psychologist Hermann Ebbinghaus found if new information isn\u2019t applied, we\u2019ll forget about 75% of it after just six days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. Consider how content is delivered<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Can you offer flexibility with timelines? Although some employees may prefer an intense course, others may prefer to take it slower to fit in around their other commitments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
