Take a look at our microlearning definition: Microlearning is an approach to training that delivers content in short, focused bites. But, in my experience, there’s typically one BIG barrier in the way when you want to change the way you train employees: school. How do you create training that impacts a specific business result?

In most cases, it isn’t that associates aren’t trained, it’s that they aren’t effectively trained. Suddenly, gaps in knowledge and bad habits are exposed, and associates make mistakes because they don’t know what to do or they simply forget what they learned in training. The science of forgetting. How’s that for reinforcement?!)

JD argued, we no longer have the luxury of long development cycles for workplace learning. L&D (learning and development) needs to think about how to become more agile, flexible, responsive and proactive to the needs of the organization.

Because it’s almost impossible to get new employees back into formal training once they get into the operation, L&D front-loads as much information as possible into the limited time allowed. Everyone develops at different speeds. Critical, need-to-know topics should not be left to one-and-done training.
