Scenario-based Training

Everyone learns differently, which makes it important for managers to identify each employee’s learning style. There are many schools of thought on this subject, but it’s a helpful tool to use sparingly. Failure to do so could mean underutilizing or overlooking talent that exists within your organization. By choosing the right types of training methods, teams minimize training time, fully utilize available talent, and prime the pump for long-term success.

Employee training is a hallmark HR program that helps employers ensure that workers have the necessary skills and abilities to perform their job duties correctly. As workplaces become more complex, with more digital tools, databases, software applications, and devices necessary to complete work, the need for employee training is as critical as ever.

Staying competitive and up-to-date can be challenging. One of the keys is to upskill and reskill your employees. A report from Citrix found that 82 percent of employees and 62 percent of HR directors said workers would need to reskill or upskill annually for an organization to maintain a competitive advantage. Results from a LinkedIn Learning report found there has been a 15 percent increase in the number of organizations that are investing in upskilling or reskilling programs over the past couple of years. Clearly, the pressure to prepare for the future of work is starting to translate into formal policy and programs.
