How effective is your current learning material ?

“A fresh start for L&D in 2023” - maybe a time to do a  spring cleaning, looking into the future and taking the dive!

How effective is your learning strategy ? 

To recruit and retain the brightest and best  employees you need  to give them regular communication, training and development opportunities, and learning campaigns supporting a positive and inclusive work culture.

You need to provide learning that enthuses engages and excites your team to learn more and be inspired by your organisation 


You need to plan , test and learn to enable your employees  to achieve their goals and bring your ideas to fruition 

You need to learn how to learn

Learning and Development - key to recruit and retain the brightest and the best




Learning will be front and centre when looking to recruit and retain the brightest and the best people in the next decade - and  Learning and development  will need to play a key role in your organisation .


Traditional Training is changing with elearning and blended learning becoming ubiquitous .

 


Two main areas of learning and development are 

  1. Compliance training 
  2. Upskilling and reskilling 


1. Compliance Training with a Focus On Safety, Mitigation

Compliance and safety training is about keeping your employees safe while also safeguarding the organization’s interests. To ensure the success of such training and keeping the working environment accident and risk-free is key 


The current agenda is to train and develop and keep employees updated, which is more than possible with a simple, robust, and affordable LMS.


2. Upskilling and reskilling 

Instead of hiring multiple people for multiple roles, focus on upskilling existing employees. 


Upskilling and multi-role fulfillment will be a focus do many organisations and, training and development are perfectly suited for this.


Will the LMS be more focussed on the lifelong learner vs the lms of the organisation .


How will the organisation be able to access the skill set of the lifelong learner?


How will the lifelong learner be able to take their accredited learnings with them throughout the lifelong learning journey? 


A good solution to keep consistent training activities in play is by switching to an affordable learning technology, that integrates with your lifelong learning wallet 


So what are the takeouts 


  • Consistent training and lifelong learning is a key to recruit and retain the brightest and the best 
  • E-learning and blended solutions will play a key part in your learning and development activities - Traditional classroom training is history 
  • Compliance training is important now more than ever;
  • Hire internally - and continually upskill and reskill 
  • Have a system that integrates with a lifelong learners wallet

India is set to become the worlds 3rd largest economy



India's real GDP growth is projected to average 6.3% annually in FY 2021-30, and is on track to  overtake Japan and Germany to become the world's third-largest economy (in nominal US dollar terms). 


Real income per capita is projected to achieve significant average growth of 5.3%, with Indian households becoming the greatest spenders among G20 economies.


Indian macro policy has  three goals: 

reducing import dependency, 

providing the labor force with suitable employment opportunities, 

and creating a more viable market for domestic and foreign investors.


Dealing with the rest of the world is a key strategy with specific plans to deal with each country .

The Future of Work and MicroLearning



There are some  big shifts that are underlying  pervasive change - which seems to be manifesting in massive layoffs in the tech sector .


With Meta - Facebook, Amazon , Google and Twitter facing laying off tens of thousands of people . 


There is a shift t


Steve Hatfield, Deloitte Consulting LLP’s Global Future of Work leader, Robin Jones, leader of its Workforce Transformation practice, and Susan Tohyama, executive vice president and chief human resources officer at human capital management (HCM) software provider Ceridian, discussed the ramifications for organizations as they plan for the workforce of the future and  Katherine Noyes, senior writer, Deloitte Insights for CIOs shares some interesting insights 


The nature of work itself is changing. 


“We’re moving from a heavily process-based model to agile teams where people work on specific projects  and work outcomes,” 


AI and technology will replace menial tasks - and the workforce will be flexible - with workers needing to constantly upskill and reskill to be an effective part of a team - enabling them to move around internally and externally in a more agile, dynamic way to meet the needs of the business.


Simon Dewar of BSI Digital believes  this agile hybrid way of bringing together teams to work on specific projects to achieve a specific outcome is the way of the future ! 


Workers need to become life long learners 

Being able to learn how to learn - focussing on the specific skills needed for upcoming organizational projects.


The tool to make this happen, says Simon Dewar of BSI Digital  is  ‘Micro-Accreditations’ With just-in-time skill building. 


“Micro-accreditations,” or short bursts of highly targeted training. Employers are able to tap a broader pool for recruiting. They can use micro-accreditations to teach them on the job. 


They don’t necessarily need to have the experience—just a desire to learn and the ability to learn how to learn 


This paradigm shift is creating a free mindset of both the employee and employer 


Employees

Employees are feeling that they are free agents with Increased flexibility, freedom, and personalized experiences that are more mission- and purpose-driven. 


The price - - less job security 


Employers

 Employers are looking to employ on an as needs basis as - elastic hiring- being able to access a project-based talent marketplace aligning individual skills with projects and company goals and moving employees around within the organization as needed. 

The price - a potential loss of IP from people with a deep knowledge of  the process.
