Green LMS

  Business generally moves at a fast pace. Add to that the endless changes in regulations, new products and innovations, and the constant ebb and flow of employees and it becomes a struggle to keep up. But unfortunately, not keeping up leads to less ideal situations In the event of a merger or acquisition, for example, many employees will need to integrate as quickly as possible and get used to the corporate culture and business processes. If there is an issue along the way, it leads to a slippery path of productivity slowdowns, disgruntled employees, and compliance violations. All this has a decisive influence on the operating result and on the achievement of objectives. A variety of scenarios, including the one above, requires business training and associated content needs that can be challenging. It's hard enough to maintain a fast and consistent generic content pipeline, but it's a different story when personalization is needed. Personalized content is often accom...

  Sales training can certainly be a real challenge for HR and training managers. Companies are selling new and different products every day, and new employees or distributors are constantly being hired. Therefore, companies are always looking for the best way to train sales personnel quickly and effectively. But they're also looking for a faster time to market. Approximately 48% of salespeople learn by trial and error to a high or very high degree (ASTD research). Also, most sales teams are geographically dispersed, which tends to be time-consuming in terms of training. More importantly, their training takes place in the agent's office and consists of some tedious PPT (of which some should be kept and applied). Let's be real: salespeople are often the best, so it's hard for a company to gather them in one place at a time for a traditional training session. After all, you can't keep customers waiting. However, that doesn't mean that training should be ignored...

There are a number of areas that need to be merged to ensure all content is the most up-to-date and up-to-date. 1. Centralized content management People work in different offices, departments and countries, so it's easy to have multiple versions of an SOP or content lying around. If you can't find or authorize the correct version to use, the process will slow down. Content centralization is essential to design an efficient system. 2. Collaborate easily with flexible permissions It is likely that more than one person is involved in approving and/or updating content. There should be no barriers to collaboration between employees. 3. Perfect integration Content is useless if it cannot be easily exported to the LMS and subsequent learning paths. Make sure that the LMS also accepts multiple types of content, e.g. SCORM, video, and PowerPoint. 4. Automation. When there are large amounts of content that need to load quickly, automation is non-negotiable. It not only sp...

While the “where” and, in many cases, the “when” we work may be different, remote work doesn’t equate to working in isolation. Or, in the case of hybrid workplaces, having to wait for the “office days” to have some real connection with the team. If we’re actively striving to create a remote-first culture, then our online workplace interactions can and should be equally meaningful to the IRL ones. And that should permeate every aspect of the workplace: not just our daily tasks or meetings, but also our collaboration efforts and our training strategy. Mentoring in the workplace should fall under that umbrella as well. An extremely valuable practice that can set up younger and returning employees for success, mentoring continues to be sorely needed—but it also needs to adapt for remote and virtual settings. Consider this article your introduction to remote mentoring for employees. The challenges of online mentoring Mentoring is a personal business. And it needs to be so: mentor and mentee...
