Are your designs interactive? Are your administrative processes seamless? Are you achieving measurable results? Join us in this interactive session to learn a 5-step "prescription" for virtual training success.   

The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have flipped the working world upside down. As organizations struggle to get their footing amidst what is now the "Great Resignation," it’s important to know why employees leave in the first place. Sometimes it’s for personal reasons - relocation, childcare, career changes, promotions, higher salary, and education - but there are also reasons people leave that fall entirely on the organization itself. A prominent reason why employees are switching careers is due to limited growth opportunities.

Poor data visualization leads to overly complicated charts that take too long to understand and steal valuable time from your audiences. Worse, a careless approach to charting can lead to misinterpretation of your messaging.  

In this evolving era of the hybrid office, training managers are responsible for delivering flexible and effective programs that keep employees informed, involved, and invested -- whether in-person or remote.  

Work is changing. Rapidly. Dramatic shifts in human skill sets are already underway, and the need for organizations to reset for growth is critical. At the same time people are seeking a career path and an opportunity to actually change their lives - to develop new skills, new careers, and to find acceptance, purpose and belonging.

Today, there are lots of ways to get hybrid sales training and enablement wrong.  But fear not! 

Learning departments are struggling with implementing and engaging learners through virtual and hybrid delivery methods.  No matter the modality, there must be a process of engagement in place that ensures successful transfer of learning to the workplace.  

It’s not as though culture change was easy before the pandemic.  Using training as a lever to move complex human systems into new patterns of behavior was more or less a ninja-level skill even before the whole world went on lockdown. Then everything changed, again and again (and again!). We went virtual in a sort of all-or-nothing, emergency shutdown way… and then we came back in a sort of catch-as-catch-can, hybridized, random sort of way.  Now we’re trying to get our footing, adding new ways of working to old ways of working in hopes of getting ahead of - or at least, catching up with - a rate of change that seems to be ever-accelerating.

Did you know that only 1 in 4 North Americans views salespeople as credible in what they say and do? Almost every sales organization attempts to qualify prospects, but they should be giving equal consideration to how buyers qualify (or disqualify) them. It's much more than just price and product.  

Upskilling, designed mainly for those already on the job, is the process of teaching employees new or additional skills. Upskilling, or reskilling, traditionally costs less than replacing employees with skilled new employees. With an expensive price tag and high stakes, upskilling has surged across organizations worldwide thanks to digital transformation. Several influences have caused this massive upskilling, including:

The world of work has changed. Trends suggest that hybrid and flexible work practices will be a permanent landscape in organizations. Employees want to assert their options to have a more say on their work arrangements. Businesses are wrestling with creative options to retain workers and talent, while making them productive.

Most organizations say they are committed to diversity, equity or equality, and inclusion. But many diversity and inclusion initiatives are unsuccessful or even counterproductive, especially if they focus on diversity at the expense of inclusion. In an inclusive organization, everyone should feel respected and valued for who they are as an individual or as a member of a group.

In today’s disruptive business environment, it’s crucial for enterprises to champion cutting-edge learning platforms that keep their workforce ahead in the race. And undoubtedly, the key ingredient to every enterprise learning initiative is content.  

The difference between digital learning and digital learning that delivers real change is harnessing the power of collaboration—through shared connection and engagement, sense-making, support, and sustained learner-to-learner networks over time.

Until last year, in-person, face-to-face training was by far the primary learning modality used to improve leadership and sales performance. The reason for that is not hard to understand—it has simply been the tried and tested way to deliver learning that leads to behavior change and performance improvement. When the ability to deliver face-to-face training was instantly cut off, the need for performance improvement to execute business strategy continued and, in some ways, became even more acute.
