The dynamics of how, when and where we work are changing. When we reflect on the past two years and think about what’s next for learning, we find ourselves in a transformed landscape – The Hybrid Workplace.
Companies who have adopted a blend of in-office and remote employees have realized the potential of a hybrid workforce to boost productivity, retain/attract talent and improve workflows.
Having a hybrid workplace is seen as an attractive benefit to employees, as it offers more flexibility and good work balance.
To create an effective hybrid workforce, companies need to restructure and redesign the content and delivery of Learning and Development initiatives to meet new demands.
Learning solutions that are suitable for the hybrid workforce should be
- Flexible and blended- give employees the opportunity to choose their learning environments. Whether its online or face-to-face.
- Just-in-time- with a blur between work and life, employees tend to allocate less time to training. It’s important to offer quick, short, just-in-time learning intentions to help the employee in the moment of need.
- Micro-learning- similar to just-in-time learning, micro learning provides short training solutions that are easily digestible and fit into the employee’s day.
- Engaging and Interactive- regardless of the environment or the circumstance, all learning solutions should be engaging and interactive, to have the biggest impact on learning knowledge transfer.
A more dynamic workforce requires different training needs, therefore staying innovative and transformative is key. Here’s your opportunity to align your learning strategy to meet the new demands of the hybrid workforce.
