BUT THAT DOESN’T MEAN IT’S RIGHT FOR EMPLOYEES
Overall, businesses are using traditional techniques in an era that demands lightning-speed
responsiveness.
Such resources take a lot of time and effort, both of which are hard to come by on a frequent basis for
employees.
14
THE TRUTH IS, TRADITIONAL LEARNING ISN’T ENOUGH ANYMORE
The combined effects of traditional learning paired with the consumerization of technology has made employees
more expectant than ever before about the knowledge that's bestowed upon them.
Thankfully, there are other options available to ensure employees can do what’s expected of them and more with
the time they have.
Notable alternatives are self-service and informal learning.
