Leverage Innovative E-learning Solutions and Instructional Strategies To Grow Your Business

From outsourcing to onboarding and developing your workforce, you need technology made for the modern world. No longer can you expect that everyone working on a given project or initiative will be able to come in house for each stage of the process — your resources may be spread across the state, country or even across the globe, and,  unless you have the right instructional strategies in place, you’ll struggle to get everyone up to speed and on the same page to do their collective best work.

When some or most of your staff is remote, or if you’d like to offer that same opportunity to potential applicants to attract the best talent, you need an innovative e-learning solution that amplifies the capabilities of your most valuable asset: your people. No matter what industry or field you’re in, knowledge is power, and that power can put you ahead of your competitors if you take the time to enable the training and development that gets the best out of everyone. 

What Is the Value of E-learning?

First and foremost, innovative e-learning solutions and instructional strategies will help save your company money during onboarding, working with contractors or when it comes to the dissemination of valuable information throughout your company. It can also help reduce the lost time and productivity black holes from typical “training days” and other associated costs, which even makes it beneficial for your employees.

Beyond the benefit to your company, comprehensive instructional strategies provide increased employee retention across most topics due to highly interactive and interesting content that leverages gamification, videos and other rich content to ensure that everything being shared is not only understood, but it becomes a part of who they are at your company. That means relying less on reference materials (though this is another area where e-learning shines) and no need to cover the same information twice, which equals more attentive workers and an increase in the quality of their work.

For companies that would like to offer the possibility of remote work but that don’t know where to start, an innovative e-learning solution can give you the peace of mind you need to make the switch. Most employers cite productivity issues as the biggest roadblock to remote work, but when you see how modern instructional strategies can help you train and onboard the best candidates for the job, the benefit easily outweighs any perceived cost.

E-learning also helps your workforce collaborate online in ways that they would never be able to otherwise. That’s because in person, you’d have to physically bring everyone together to disseminate information, and social pressures prevent most from giving you real and honest feedback. With e-learning, you’ll be communicating to your workers that everyone matters, and that everyone should participate and speak up if they have an insight or issue to share. 

When it comes to the modern-day workplace, developing a better training plan suits your employees’ ideal lifestyles than that old, tired mantra of everyone in the office from nine to five. Besides, employees that have flexibility and power over their day are happier employees, and happier employees are more prone to do better work and be more engaged from day to day. The best part is that innovative e-learning solutions are easily scalable to suit the size of any workforce, which is more than we can say for in-person training solutions that are difficult to scale both up and down.
