24. How can you take virtual learning viral?
Five steps companies can take to engage employees in using
technology to learn new skills and enhance performance:
• Make a big splash to launch the learning and ensure employees know what
to do next
• Spell out what everyone – from managers to the shop floor – needs to do. A
staggering 50 per cent of all companies said that employees were reticent
when it came to using new technology to learn so this is a real priority area
• Show people how to use the technology and make learning manageable
• Review learning regularly and keep managers informed
• Promote successes to colleagues and celebrate together
