Key Chapters

The eBook starts out by laying out today’s learning content management landscape. The first chapter provides some interesting statistics on how leading companies in various industries use their LMS in an inadequate way. To them, the LMS is nothing but a “place” where they store their training content. Few companies provide employees with content that’s relevant to their interests and skills. Employees on the other hand are much more dedicated to a company when they feel they have prospects of upward mobility in that company.

Attracting and retaining top talent is partly synonymous to training and development. Many best-in-class companies use rewards and recognition incentives to keep their employees engaged. Fewer however, take advantage of adaptive analytics based on competency analyses. That has an impact on providing adaptive learning for a successful workforce.

Docebo’s free eBook Adaptive Learning: The Key To Cultivating A Successful Workforce highlights that a key problem in many companies is employee training investments without having a clear plan regarding employee goal achievement. Best-in-class companies invest more in the development of their existing employees. However, employee engagement, rather than employee development, is the field where most investments are made, due to high employee turnover rates.

The second chapter of the eBook focuses on the use of adaptive analytics towards creation of adaptive learning for a successful workforce. Many best-in-class companies use adaptive analytics to gain insight into what type of training materials each employee should be given, according to their respective performance and talents.

There has been research showing that companies that use adaptive content analytics enjoy greater employee engagement rates than those that use a regular LMS. Adaptive learning also contributes to performance improvements as well. Docebo’s free eBook Adaptive Learning: The Key To Cultivating A Successful Workforce points out that increase in employee engagement and quality development battles the phenomenon of voluntary employee turnover. As a result, employees that have chosen to stay with the company and are well-trained develop soft skills that are integral to the company’s success.

The fourth chapter emphasizes how adaptive learning for a successful workforce involves realizing the connection between employee engagement and employee development. The model of self-managed employees is hardly producing any actual results, no matter how convenient it might be for managers and trainers. Self-management is all about the employee being responsible about their own training and as a result the success of the company. This is even evident in best-in-class companies that use their LMS as a content repository. In other words, the content is there, and the employee is being held accountable for their own training. Many training programs do not even consider employees’ career goals or individual talents as part of the training process. Last but not least, absence of employee mentor programs also contributes to a lack of adaptive learning for a successful workforce.

Thinking that your employees will magically find their way through tons of training content, or viewing your LMS as a content storage room is no way to help your employees evolve. Docebo’s free eBook Adaptive Learning: The Key To Cultivating A Successful Workforce presents a holistic approach of how adaptive learning can play a crucial role in the development of a successful workforce.
