Learning and Development (L&D) is undergoing a massive transformation and driving competitiveness for companies across industries.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A <\/span>report<\/span><\/a> by business applications provider CGS says that 74% of employees are ready to learn new skills to remain employable in the future, and that companies must prioritize L&D initiatives for their current and future workforce. The report also says that employees are interested in having both technical and leadership training more readily available in the workplace.<\/span><\/p>\n

Companies recognize the need for constant upskilling too, and e-learning today plays an increasingly important role in the delivery of L&D programs to employees. The pandemic has further fueled the need for the adoption of digital practices.<\/span><\/p>\n

In fact, the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development in Central London <\/span>found<\/span><\/a> that during the course of the pandemic, 75% of companies say they have moved some or all of their L&D training online.<\/span><\/p>\n

Key factors to plan digital-first L&D<\/span><\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. As digital transformation in the learning & development function pushes ahead, training leaders\u00a0 say smart-technology driven interactive online learning is the way forward. An important foundation on which to build this digital focus is to deploy a modern Learning Management System (LMS).<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Then there is the learning content being delivered through the LMS. As technology evolves, increasingly rich content formats – including AR & VR, video simulations, and more – are available to make learning more effective. There is also a trend towards smaller, bite-sized learning offering the best solution for employee skilling.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Immersive learning solutions such as personalized learning options, and gamification are other initiatives to adopt. Blended learning, virtual instructor-led training (VILT), and eLearning programs also enhance L&D. A newer trend emerging is social learning, where employees are encouraged to learn from each other through social media and knowledge collaboration tools.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. And finally, the most important factor of all. Whatever the route your company takes, the destination is the same \u2013 business growth. It is vital for L&D initiatives to be aligned to the digital transformation goals of the company as a whole. Companies need to chalk out clear goals for training programs, and make sure they are aligned to business goals.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
