In a recent Bersin by Deloitte report, it was stated that 80% of CEOs believe upskilling is their most pressing challenge. A Manpower report states that 69% of U.S. companies report talent shortages. This reaffirms the message that retraining and upskilling are critical to the modern workforce.
However, large workloads and packed schedules impose a barrier to providing the learning needed to address the upskilling needs of today’s hybrid workforce. The workforce of today requires people to learn on the go. It also requires giving people the ability to control when and where they participate in their professional development. For the learning professional, this means delivering support and reinforcement programs that are produced in manageable bites, giving people a chance to reflect and apply lessons without disruption to the workflow.
By providing spaced learning through dripped applications, we give knowledge a greater chance of sticking and give the people a better chance of knowledge application. By doing so, we create a win-win for the people and the business.
Here, we will be working with three common drip delivery platforms: email, blogs, and chatbots to demonstrate the combined value of chunked and self-directed microlearning content.
