Today's learners are continuously adaptive to new business demands. They learn while working. They adjust to rapid changes and are very resourceful in finding answers and solutions. Unfortunately, many learning systems are stuck with the old paradigms where learners have to slave away to derive useful answers.

Your company is now online. You’re working remotely, providing training virtually, zoom, zooming the days away and the dust has — sort of  — settled. The workforce landscape is forever changed and innovation shouldn’t stop at just getting it all online or converted to digital quickly.

The skills needed to succeed on the job are changing at an unprecedented pace. Reports say that skills learned today remain relevant for an average of only five years. Consequently, Learning and Development (L&D) professionals must train today's employees for the skills that will be needed tomorrow-even when those skills haven't yet been identified or, in some cases, created. Training employees for skills that haven't been invented yet is no easy task. So how can L&D upskill everyone from entry-level employees to senior management for an unforeseeable, quickly changing future? To do this, L&D first must identify: A framework for building future skills The most-needed emerging skills Capabilities for success, regardless of the skill set In this white paper, Training Top 10 Hall of Fame members explore these  challenges and detail how they are responding to future-proof their organizations, particularly in the wake of the Coronavirus and beyond.

Today, 26% of Americans say they’re online almost constantly and people spend an average of 5 hours a day on their mobile phones. We do everything from shopping to watching videos using the Internet on our mobile devices. Being online has been integrated into every aspect of life. Our dependence on digital platforms and mobile devices has impacted not only the way we communicate, but the way we learn, as well. In fact, 47% of organizations have already incorporated mobile learning into their training programs. With the way things are changing, it can be hard to find the perfect learning solution for your needs. With so many learning management systems on the market, it can be difficult to determine which option checks all of the essential boxes for your company, or if a traditional LMS is actually the right solution to address your learning needs.

Let's face it: many of us obtain the knowledge and data we require to complete our work by using the internet. This informal learning trend is unlikely to change soon, so training professionals need to find a way to address it. Some are threatened by this reality; others have been tasked with quantifying and evaluating it.

First, panic ensues. Then comes paralysis. These are the usual responses of workers and organizations when crisis situations emerge.

Leaders have a lot to manage. They need to move projects along, keep the big picture and goals of the organization in mind, and manage their direct reports. Servant leadership takes a new approach to traditional responsibilities by placing an emphasis on serving employees and removing obstacles to their success. Servant leaders help employees perform at their best by building trust and providing feedback that helps employees grow. They give employees the space to problem solve and learn new skills while also stepping in to help them overcome challenges when needed. Servant leadership helps build strong relationships and empowers employees to be their best, which benefits the organization and the bottom line. Like with most things, practice can help individuals become effective servant leaders. In this infographic, we'll teach you how to put servant leadership into practice. You'll also learn: -The characteristics of a servant leader -Ways servant leaders and traditional leaders differ -How servant leadership benefits your organization

"To make a mistake is human, but to blame it on someone else is… even more human."   Much of what’s happening in our organizations today is nothing more than a thinly veiled blame game.  Colleagues gather in post mortem meetings to "find out what went wrong." Managers use goals and accountability as weapons to dole out punishment when things change unexpectedly.  And sooner or later, we all find ourselves accidentally contributing to a culture of duck-and-cover as we create ever more complex forms of the argument that "I did my part, I can’t control everything."  

In this session, we will take a very prevalent term in our industry, "reskilling", and introduce it to a very new and trending term, "creator-centric". Can you imagine rebuilding your learning culture around the learner as the creator rather than the recipient of the content? It will happen but instead of it happening to your organization, make it happen for your organization.   

Prior to mid-March 2020, approximately eight million people worked from home in the US. With stay-at-home orders around the world, hundreds of millions have suddenly been added to the previously small pool of workers who are commonly considered remote employees. In the face of that dramatic shift, companies are left scrambling to re-imagine work, asking employees accustomed to working from an office to instantly evolve into a remote workforce.

Adopting remote-work opportunities delivers positive changes to critical business metrics, such as reduced expenses, increased productivity and engagement, and decreased turnover and attrition.
