Your business can close its skill gaps, but only as fast as your people can learn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And no matter how much learning time your workers have, it\u2019s all too easy for learning fatigue to slow them down or burn them out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amid ever-increasing workforce development demands, nearly 60 % of HR professionals worry<\/a> their companies can no longer rely on workers\u2019 sense of duty\u2014or their\u00a0 investment in a long-term career path\u2014to complete hours of online learning content.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A big part of the problem? Information overload. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

More training does not necessarily mean better learning. But with a structured approach, employees can become encouraged and engaged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The right workforce development technologies\u2014powered by AI and automations\u2014can help keep your people productive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outdated Learning Models & Information Overload<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many organizations still rely on outdated workforce development models that fail to engage. For example, employees quickly forget one-time intensive training events like eight-hour workshops. In fact, unengaged workers will forget around 50% of what they\u2019ve learned<\/a> in just one hour. This means they need time to process and practice new skills, through strategies like interleaving and hands-on application<\/a>. They need reinforcement to transfer and retain knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learning fatigue also occurs when employees waste valuable time and energy simply deciding what<\/em> to learn instead of actually building skills. It\u2019s like spending a Friday night searching Netflix instead of watching a great show. Without customized learning content suggestions, employees struggle to navigate an overwhelming sea of information.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employees more often than not don\u2019t care what learning platform they\u2019re using, noted Peter Sheppard, Head of the Global L&D Ecosystem at Ericsson<\/a>. \u201cWhat they are concerned with is, \u2018Can I build my career? Can I grow my skills?\u2019 And if you\u2019re concerned about that, then you need the systems to work together in an integrated, open ecosystem.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your people don\u2019t have time to sift through a vast content library. Instead, they need relevant, timely development that directly applies to their roles.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI & Automation: Making Learning More Efficient & Relevant<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The good news is that organizations are recognizing the need for change<\/a>, with 29% in recent months looking to adopt new learning or training technologies and 57% planning to upgrade existing systems. It\u2019s a great start, but not the entire solution. Strategic delivery and structuring are key to a winning combination.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More and more, innovative learning leaders are finding that structure in AI-powered solutions drive<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
