Is your organization beginning to rely on learning resources outside of classroom training events?  In today's hyper-networked virtual workplace, it is only natural to begin "thinking outside the classroom," -- virtual or otherwise!

Engagement is often seen as a top-down process driven by organizational management.  Employees often expect the company to do things to engage employees and hope our managers lead in a way that creates a culture of engagement.  While it’s true that employee engagement starts at the top, engagement is truly dependent on individual accountability.

Congratulations!  You’ve developed the greatest training program ever.  The content is ideally suited to our business problems, the technology works, and the employees seem to like it.

Learning content has never been easier to create. It is true that creating learning content comes with its own sets of challenges, but the plethora of tools available today have made authoring somewhat easier. What is not getting easier, however, is information overload for the learner. Organizations with the ability to easily create content on the fly means that new content is often created for every situation. Now, learners have to sift through mountains of content to get the information they need. A recent report showed that 24 percent of learning leaders said "content overload" was a huge problem in their organizations, and 38 percent more said that knowledge transfer and retention of content are their biggest challenges.

When it comes to bridging the engagement gap, are your managers part of the problem or part of the solution? There’s a wealth of research showing that managers not only play a large role in whether or not employees are engaged, they often don’t seem to know what will actually engage them.
