Remember when employees used to be in the same building, and you could do training in-person or shadow someone one-on-one? And when someone new joined the company, they’d be introduced to colleagues, shown around the office and brought up to speed, often by peers in nearby cubicles.
Things are certainly different now. The pandemic has not only accelerated digital applications and remote work, but also the need for effective remote training strategies. These range from meeting the needs of homebound and geographically dispersed workforces, to training new hires who’ve never been on-site, to onboarding, up-skilling and re-skilling. What’s more, this all needs to be done at a quicker pace, pressured as employers are by the Great Resignation, the effects of Zoom fatigue, etc.
It’s a lot to keep up with. However, two-plus years into Covid-19, businesses have learned many important lessons and can apply them to meet evolving training needs.
