Digital solutions are vital for modern learning since they address the challenges of traditional training methods. By leveraging technology, organisations can deliver flexible, tailored training programmes that save time, improve knowledge retention, and adapt to individual learner needs.
Challenges of employee engagement
Staff training often comes with a set of common challenges that can hinder its effectiveness. Some examples include:
- Repetitive annual training sessions - these frequently result in employee disengagement, boredom, and low retention of critical information.
- Training is irrelevant to the individual - a one-size-fits-all approach fails to account for the varied skill levels, roles, and knowledge gaps of individual employees, leaving some over-trained while others remain underprepared.
- The administrative burden of managing training priorities - often, compliance professionals are juggling compliance requirements, tracking progress, and tailoring content.
- Complex training needs drive up costs - complying with regulations or addressing diverse learner groups make training needs complicated. This strains organisational resources.
Finding a digital learning solution
Personalised and relevant compliance training is key to fostering employee engagement and ensuring practical application in the workplace. Training that aligns with individual roles, knowledge levels, and real-world scenarios will help to engage employees.
They are also more likely to retain information and apply it effectively in their day-to-day responsibilities. This approach not only enhances understanding but also reinforces a culture of compliance across the organisation.
Enhanced learning blends automation with engaging methods like gamification, microlearning, adaptive learning, and role-specific training. This not only caters to the diverse needs of a workforce but also saves organisations valuable time and resources.
You can elevate your digital learning strategy with enhanced learning. This ensures impactful and efficient staff training.
Enhanced digital learning
Skillcast's Enhanced Learning package exemplifies learning innovation by combining tools and methodologies to transform standard compliance training into a dynamic, learner-centric experience.
We have designed this innovations package to optimise training outcomes. This includes reducing time spent on repetitive courses and embedding compliance into the daily fabric of work life. Here’s how it adds value:
Personalised learning paths with a training needs analysis
Diagnostic assignments provide a powerful tool to evaluate employee knowledge and identify gaps through tailored quizzes. These quizzes, often drawn from resources like Compliance Bites or standard courses, help organisations uncover insights. The insights include trends, misunderstandings, and variations across departments or locations.
Companies can perform a targeted training needs analysis by assessing quiz results. This ensures that learners receive relevant training aligned with their individual knowledge levels. In this way, employees only focus on areas where they need improvement, saving time and boosting engagement.
Shortened learning time with FastTrack
The FastTrack Courses feature enables employees to test out of content they already understand. This further streamlines the training process and saves organisations significant hours of working time. FastTrack recognises and rewards existing knowledge, reducing redundancy and combating training fatigue. This approach not only saves learning hours but also minimises training costs.
Engaging microlearning with question of the day
Nudge learning delivers bite-sized questions and content tailored to the learner’s schedule. This makes training a regular and manageable activity rather than an overwhelming task. The nudge learning approach keeps training top-of-mind, boosts engagement, and fosters continuous learning in manageable doses.
By encouraging employees to explore topics regularly and measuring their responses, nudge learning helps identify and address knowledge gaps. At the same time, it reinforces understanding in a more dynamic and effective way.
Seamless integration with embedded compliance
Embedded learning adds value to staff training by integrating compliance resources directly into everyday business workflows. This ensures seamless access and timely support.
With just-in-time training and compliance controls available through intranet links, documents, emails, or chats, employees can easily retrieve specific resources when they need them most.
Embedding learning enhances accessibility and relevance and ensures comprehensive tracking and reporting. This approach gives managers valuable insights into training engagement and compliance activities.
Flexible delivery models
By incorporating features like the Compliance Bites Library, Skillcast offers scalable and modular content. This ensures organisations can adapt their training programmes to meet specific needs without excessive customisation.
Compliance Bites microlearning videos offer quick, engaging refreshers on key topics like insider trading and data privacy. Using animation, characters, and storylines, these bite-sized videos bring complex concepts to life in just a few minutes. This makes compliance training more engaging and accessible.
Skillcast’s Enhanced Learning package supports compliance objectives and drives a cultural shift toward proactive, embedded learning. It empowers companies to modernise their training strategies. This makes learning an ongoing, efficient, and meaningful process that aligns with business goals.
