From Data to Development: AI's Role in Tailored Training Solutions
Learning Data: Bringing Order to Chaos Every interaction within a business, from routine emails to complex project collaborations, generates data that, until recently, remained largely untapped.

How To Assess The Real Impact Of Training—Is It Working?
A Skills-First Approach To Learning And Development To address the worsening talent shortage, organizations are shifting from job-centric to skills-based Learning and Development (L&D) programs.

From Hybrid To Electric: Charting Generative AI’s Impact On Corporate Learning And Development

The manufacturing industry is on track for rapid growth in the next decade, continuing the increasing production and output levels of the last few years.

How Tech Ensures Strategic Alignment and ROI for Your Training Program
The value of corporate training extends far beyond education. When training is strategically aligned with a company’s larger goals, it can bolster customer relationships, boost sales and increase the value of partnerships. This is the business of learning. Of course, such business requires a comprehensive understanding of internal and external training goals and learning delivery. The strategy driving any training program should be bigger than a simple knowledge transfer.
How to Overcome Healthcare Training Hurdles With a Digital LMS
Training should be a valuable addition to the employee and customer experiences. It should enhance a learner’s perspective, improve workflows, and enable the learner to thrive in their role. Unfortunately, few companies have cracked the code to effective training, especially in hybrid work environments. Bridging the gap between hands-on, technical training, and digital training has been a hurdle on the minds of training managers across industries.
Improve the Digital Learning Experience With a Next-generation LMS
Digital learners are digital consumers. They have the same expectations of digital learning experiences as they do of digital shopping experiences.

The same principles apply to digital training: Learners expect personalized, tailored experiences.

Training can impact performance, engagement, effectiveness, and even the bottom line. It’s a central process that most organizations—in some capacity—employ to ensure alignment across departments and teams. Training is part of every job.

Tech Needed to Equip a Skilled, Deskless Workforce Original
A new era of work has begun, and we now rely on digital technology to govern our processes and projects every day at work. With a remote and deskless workforce, companies must equip their teams with tools that counter the challenges of modern work—specifically, technology that minimizes errors, makes learning more efficient, and promotes upskilling. All of these objectives come together in one critical component of the employee experience: learning and development.
How HR Can Be the Central Nervous System of Employee Engagement
Everyone’s talking about employee engagement because employees expect more from their companies in 2022. As work styles have shifted and changed during the pandemic, we have seen corporate leaders and employees alike change the way they define a positive workplace experience. Now, employees want to know that their companies support them beyond a weekly or bi-weekly paycheck. They want to know that their companies care about the present and the future of their careers.
The Future of Manufacturing Training Relies on Learning Technologies
The future of the manufacturing industry will rest on leaders’ and organizations’ abilities to be adaptable, flexible and innovative in a rapidly changing marketplace.

Corporate Learning Predictions For 2022
Summary: Corporate Learning and Development in 2022 will be all about engaging and retaining employees in a way that suits their individual lifestyles.

Future-Proof Your Company with These Learning and Development Strategies
Few of us were prepared for the changes 2020 brought to the working world. Though most workplaces were running on digital tools and digital communication, few had the infrastructure to sustain long-term work-from-home or hybrid work schedules. Now companies have begun to reimagine how their offices operate and what a post-pandemic future will look like. Value systems have changed and companies are focusing on one key factor: employee satisfaction.
How LMS platforms can help solve 5 employee engagement problems
Employee engagement drives company success. This is the critical element required for growing a business in the next decade and beyond. But this is a relatively recent concept. For decades, business leaders viewed employee engagement as an added bonus to another, more important concept: employee productivity. Companies were built on the tenets of productivity, efficiency, and a strict separation between an employee’s feelings about their work and the actual work that they do.
Employee Training Technology Is the Future of Remote Work
The future of remote work rests on employee training technology. Learning and development are critical components to an employee’s success on this side of the pandemic, especially for remote and hybrid-working employees. But companies need the right digital tools to sustain these initiatives.
How to make employees feel valued
Employees want to feel seen. They want to feel valued. And they want to feel like their work matters at a higher level. McKinsey recently reported a record number of employees are quitting their jobs or thinking about doing so. More than 15 million workers in the US quit their jobs between April and September of 2021. In the last few months, trend scouts have even said that quitting your job is a new form of self-care.
Innovative training strategies that work
We’ve been talking about remote and hybrid work for months now, and it’s safe to say that our world has adapted to this new type of work. Many employers have shifted their focus from providing well-designed offices to providing well-designed digital tools that help support employee goals and needs no matter their working location. So many existing systems weren’t designed with remote work in mind, especially LMS training software.
