Re-Examining Your Organization’s Training Strategy In The Wake Of A Global Pandemic

2020 has certainly been an eye-opening year for organizations and their training strategy. People from all around the world faced months of stay-at-home orders, travel restrictions and social distancing. Consequently, in terms of training strategy, businesses need to answer a very important question: What will organizations do as we approach a phase of viral response that will likely include multiple waves of varied states of alert, according to the threat levels across multiple geographies?

The truth is that corporate L&D teams were quick to respond to initial changes in the working conditions of employees. However, most of those responses were just short-term modifications to adapt quickly to the new conditions. So, which is the optimal training strategy?

Many have observed that a post-pandemic world may well be shaped differently. Organizations have significant financial incentives to explore shifting employees to partial or full-time remote status. The rapid eLearning industry was built on the notion that persistent, on-demand training materials could lower costs and improve access to learning content.

On the other hand, for those who have been delaying the shift from face-to-face to virtual instruction, the added pressure has clearly come. More precisely, with many estimating an ongoing impact for 18-24 months, it is certainly time to consider how your training strategy can and should change to meet these new challenges.
