The mere fact that there have been drastic changes driven by processing power, storage, and bandwidth in the world of technology is a sign that there is a need for us to change the dynamics of business processes including how we teach and train our labour force. Even so, given that creating a digital culture isn't something that can be easily improvised, many human resource and training leaders have had a tedious time facing the new challenges that come about as a result. In light of this, the only way to convert a company to digital is by training the employees for digitisation.
One of the ways that has proven to work very well is learning through doing something. While sitting in a classroom and having a one on one training happens to be a good way of instilling information, learning in real time has proven to be quite efficient because it involves accessing fundamentals of what you should know as well as interacting with the devices which help speed up learning and cuts the costs of training.
Now that it is possible to design training manuals and textbooks that are more user responsive, it is important to capitalise on that as much as possible by making them all the more dynamic and embedding audio, video, and links to other resources. This gives the employees a chance to pick the resources that they need to view as well as personalise the training to meet their needs.
Bearing in mind that we have shorter attention spans, it is vital to break down the training sessions into blocks for a more focused lesson.
Seeing as digitisation offers a challenge that is as big as the opportunities it offers, it is salient for companies to redefine how they train employees so as to save both time and money at the end of the day.
