Employee Engagement

You can force learners to read, take tests, participate in activities, but it won’t get you near the results you aim for. Learner engagement makes the mind receptive to new knowledge, while people adopt a positive stance towards their training. This is why it is so fundamental. As all things touched by technological evolution, learning has changed greatly. To benefit from all the changes, an L&D professional must apply personalization, gamification, and social learning.

Motivation in learning is a key. Without all the keys, doors will remain locked but suitable motivation could be helpful in breaching this doors. That’s the reason we are bending over backwards to efficiently motivate. Though, sometimes, we forget that motivation isn’t only a carrot but also a stick.

The “old way’ of teaching was: Trainer provided instruction. Learner absorbed and followed along. Learner proved his/her command of the subject (by writing an end-of-course exam). Trainer evaluated and certified the learner (pass/fail). Based on this model, the end objective was to evaluate… as opposed to facilitating the journey of learning.
