It is time to adapt your training programs. We are all talking about adapting learning in the face of disruption, but have you done it? We know these last few months have not been easy for anyone — and there’s probably not a lot of room left on your plate. However, this is the perfect time to transition your in-person training (ILT) courses to an online, or blended, format. Why? A PRNewswire study found that 66% of employees are working remotely right now. And, according to a study by The Grossman Group, over half of employees want to continue working from home after the pandemic. You must keep your learners engaged to ensure your virtual, or blended, training programs are successful.
Join us for this complimentary Training Industry webinar, sponsored by BizLibrary. Your host, Tom Braning, Product and Solutions Expert at BizLibrary, will break down the steps of transitioning your ILT program to a blended or virtual format seamlessly.
You will learn:
How to transition from ILT to a blended or online training format in a few simple steps.
Ways to build learning agility within your employees so they are prepared for the transition.
Strategies to keep remote learners engaged in your new training program.
