E-learning plays a vital role in corporate training. If you are or you would like to be a global player, you need to provide the same level of training to all your employees. Since you are dealing with staff located in various countries and speaking different languages, the best thing to do is have the training course not only translated but properly optimized through localization. One way is to establish a special department that is going to deal only with training.

Learning portals are a great example of a learner-centered solution. Essentially, a learning portal is an online knowledge sharing tool. A learning portal helps learners locate the information they need quickly. And in some cases, interact with different types of curated learning content. If your organization hasn’t already, it may be time to adopt a learning portal as part of your next training initiative. A learning portal is not an LMS.

That might meet the requirements of a regulatory agency, but don’t expect your employees to learn “…to do the next right thing.” A training event, classroom or virtual, is no way to develop ethical behavior in a workforce. I’m sure each of those companies includes ethics in their employee training programs and lists ethical behavior among the values in their employee handbooks. You don’t learn this in a training program , even a highly interactive and gamified program.

In the Knowledge Economy, people must take responsibility for their own learning. They need to learn how to learn independently and how to learn what they need to know when they need to know it. While skills are still necessary for success, the focus should shift to cultivating the underlying capabilities that can accelerate learning so that new skills can be more rapidly acquired. Support from training and HR departments is necessary but insufficient.

The most common way in which companies train employees today is basically the same as organizations have been training for the past hundred years (some would say thousands of years). Instructional designers, with input from managers and subject-matter-experts (SMEs) decide what employees should know and then “push” that content at the learners through formal training programs. Things are quite different now and, therefore, training needs to change. Learn continuously.

The Knowledge Economy needs people who are self-directed learners, who know how to get the information and skills they need when and where they need them, who can think critically in terms of evaluating the accuracy and usefulness of this information, and who can learn from both successes and failures. Maybe some organizations can teach people how to learn fast, but most do not have this capability. They need to hire people who already can learn fast and learn well.
