Designing a Learning Experience for the Distributed Workforce
The remote work landscape has changed the employee experience and so the learning experience must change with it. Jennifer Parker, Director of L&D at Lennar takes a look at how to design an experience for the new age of learning.
COVID-19 upended a lot of well-intentioned plans for the L&D team and forced change at a rapid rate. What were traditionally in-person trainings have had to go online and L&D teams have taken on a heightened importance within the organization.
The amount of uncertainty in the global economy has created a need for more flexible employees who can help the organization in a variety of ways, and the job market has created employees who are ready to learn like never before. Now, with budgets and commitments to L&D increasing, it’s up to learning leaders to help strategize and implement learning cultures and systems meets the needs of the distributed workforce.
Key takeaways include:
- Understand learning experience design and the specific needs of remote workers
- Create new channels for learning and development to replace in person trainings
- Develop an ecosystem of tools that increase access and improve the learning experience.
