In today’s fast-paced, rapidly changing professional world, time is a precious commodity.
Balancing tight schedules and demanding workloads with the need for continuous personal development is a challenge that employees in high-demand roles face on a daily basis.
This is where microlearning can be a game-changer.
Microlearning is an innovative approach to education in corporate training. This method of learning delivers short, targeted learning sessions that help employees acquire new skills without lengthy time commitments.
For example, an employer using microlearning techniques might divide their training content into concise, manageable segments, each focusing on a specific skill or topic. These sessions will typically last a few minutes, and can take various formats such as videos, quizzes, or brief articles.
This approach aligns perfectly with busy schedules, offering employees the flexibility to learn during breaks or between tasks, ultimately improving their skillset in a succinct and digestible way.
So, how can employers start building microlearning strategies into their training programs?
However, it’s one thing to introduce microlearning techniques to your teams, but employers must also be committed to continuously gauge the success of the microlearning initiatives being used in order to continue to reap the benefits of increased knowledge, innovation, and productivity.
To do this, employers should be monitoring participation rates and general enthusiasm for microlearning programs (especially if using an app, as engagement with it can be measured easily). As well as this, consider conducting assessments to evaluate how well employees apply what they have learned, and be consistently gathering input from employees on how effective they believe the content is and what might make it more effective for them.
