Workplaces have appreciated the flexibility and productivity of working from home, and it has become the “new normal.” Jobs are advertised as remote or a hybrid between the home and office. This creates a new challenge for meeting our clients’ training demands as face-to-face training is not the standard. Yet, training via e-learning is not the answer. Can you transition face-to-face training to an e-learning course? Yes, but some training should be delivered by a facilitator. It’s easy to complete an e-learning training package by skimming through it—this is the biggest risk with e-learning. Participants must be highly motivated to complete, engage in, and retain the training. In today’s fast-paced environment, time and competing priorities are against the learner.
