"In a time of limited resources and rising demands, L&D teams must demonstrate the value of their training initiatives if they want stakeholders to continue investing in them. The most important indicators of a training program's success are learner engagement and training impact. But how can we be certain that a training program is succeeding in these areas? The answer is straightforward. Businesses need to prioritize data-driven learning, where all decisions are based on carefully collected analytics."
"Many employees struggle to see the value of participating in a training program, and will only do so because it is mandatory. As a result, even though they attend seminars, workshops, and other training sessions, they participate passively and engage as little as possible. This results in minimal retention and application of knowledge. However, the course itself may be partly responsible for this issue, as many virtual training sessions feel like "monologues" and thus fail to maintain attention."
"Speaking of monotone training, a lack of variety and diversity in training materials and formats is often the culprit behind poor learner engagement levels. Employees not only have different backgrounds, seniorities, and knowledge baselines, but also learning preferences. Therefore, a training program that only uses videos might not engage learners who prefer more interactive or auditory methods, such as podcasts. Similarly, forcing a senior employee to go through a beginner course will certainly lead to disengagement."
Organizations face limited resources and rising demands, making demonstration of training value essential. Learner engagement and training impact are the most important indicators of program success. Businesses need to prioritize data-driven learning, with decisions based on carefully collected analytics to assess engagement and impact. Common engagement roadblocks include passive attendance, where employees participate only because training is mandatory and many virtual sessions feel like "monologues", reducing retention and application. Another roadblock is one-size-fits-all training, where lack of variety fails to accommodate different backgrounds, seniorities, knowledge baselines, and learning preferences. Adobe Connect offers features that promote interaction while supplying valuable engagement data.
