Training in a streamlined organization

The increased need for training in a streamlined organization presents some interesting challenges. Our recent round table conference witnessed learning leaders sharing their views on the ways with which they successfully meet these demands and equip their organizations for current and future success. One of the important challenges was to create training programs that ensure excellence without a loss of productivity. The solution that many executives arrived at was to Shift to Virtual and e-Learning.

Roundtable participants earmarked e-learning as a critical training tool in a cost-conscious business climate. A smaller workforce means that productivity has to be maintained by limiting the time that employees are away from their jobs. This makes e-learning development a more efficient method of training. One participant commented that e-learning has allowed for much quicker deployment and can be developed and implemented effectively and efficiently by a “leaner and meaner” training team.
