Here are training methods that business leaders asked by businessnewsdaily.com claim are really engaging and motivating.
Surprisingly, sitting in front of a PPT presentation on a screen is not one of them.
Online learning – even in small chunks – turns out to be highly effective, since it enables flexibility and a low-pressure environment, advises the businessnewsdaily.com website.
1. Microlearning
Often it involves e-learning. This type of learning has an especially large impact when it comes to front-line employees.
Although we are distracted all the time today, we learn in more ways than ever before. When you know how to provide learning to your employees just when it is needed, you help them really succeed. This method allows them to control their experience and they're free to learn at their own pace. They can also choose the topics that are really relevant to them.
2. Hands-on shadowing
It's about doing a task on the spot rather than listening to instructions. Hands-on shadowing can be a great way to onboard and train new employees. They will retain information better, because they apply the skills they're learning in real time.
They can also experiment with responsibilities in a controlled environment where there are no risks. That enables them to build their self-confidence.
