E-Learning: A New Age Powerhouse Tool for Training and

Development 
In the current start-up culture, it is imperative that you stay abreast with the dynamic
technical, legal, and other forms of upgrades to not just stay at the top of your game but also
be in a position to remain relevant through various challenges and changes that come in this
aggressively competitive and changing business environment.

Training and development are essential to improve the employees' job performance and
consequently enhance an organization's overall functioning and productivity. 

Importance of training and development in the modern corporate set-up:

The current business environment is highly cutthroat, and you and your company need to go
out on a limb to scale up and remain relevant. If you spend extra money to train your
employees, you are essentially investing in the future of your own company. 

 Training and development programs will enable your employees to work effectively
in a dynamic business environment. 
 Since we live in an age of disruptions, appropriate training will leverage a chance for
your company to sail through uncharted territories and tackle unforeseen challenges to
the best of its ability. 
 Spending money to polish the existing skill set of your employees is the only
plausible way for you to open doors for future diversification and growth of your
company. 
 The satisfaction of learning new skills is a motivation in its own right. Therefore, the
employees will have better morale and increased productivity. 
 If you can create an environment of learning culture in your organization, it will be
very beneficial for your company's performance in the long run. 
 By trading the employees, you enable them to handle different types of clients to the
best of their ability, which bodes well for the future of the respective organization. 

Having said that, let us try to figure out the most effective way to train your employees. 

What is E-learning? 
E-learning is the process of imparting training and learning to employees by using electronic
sources. E-learning pivots around the idea of enhancing connectivity and reach of the
respective training module to minimize the resources that are spent and maximize the
impact. 

Why is E-learning the preferred choice of training 


To understand this, we need to understand the characteristics of the modern learner. In a
contemporary corporate set-up, employees always look for endless learning opportunities.
They are constantly looking for ways to upskill, and consequently, they will always pledge
their allegiance to an employer who invests his resources in their development. 
At this juncture, one needs to note that our target learners (employees) are constantly on the
move, and they need to be able to access the learning content whenever they find the time.
Their point of need for consuming that content cannot be bound to a two or three-hour
seminar. That is where e-learning steps in. Since e-learning utilizes the concepts of
microlearning, bite-sized learning videos can be accessed anywhere, and the short duration of
the video enhances its impact and retention on the part of the learner. 

Benefits of E-learning :

 It is very cost-effective 
Since the learner can view the content anywhere, the company can substantially cut down on
its employees' travel and accommodation costs. In addition, the employees won't have to
forgo their working hours to learn. E-learning warrants a one-time investment in part of the
companies and yields a long-term and a significantly wide-reaching impact

 It's an eco-friendly way of training 


Since there isn't any printing involved, it will enable your company to reduce its carbon
footprint and adopt a sustainable way to train employees. 

 It enhances learner retention


The e-learning content is usually interactive and bite-sized. This is known to enhance the
impact it has on learners. Imbibing knowledge or information through a manual or textbook
isn't as effective as learning the same from a podcast or audio/video. 

 It provides scope for scalability


This is the best aspect of e-learning. With one time investment, you can make sure that a
large number of employees can make use of the training content. You won't have to dole out
new training modules for every new batch. 

 It is a personalized way of learning


With e-learning, the power to navigate through the content rests with the employee. This
gives him greater ownership of the training program and helps him stay vested in the program
voluntarily by browsing through the content or videos at his own pace. 

 It uses microlearning videos


This is a very effective way to engage in impactful training. By adopting micro-learning
techniques, you can boost the level of engagement from the employees' side. In addition to
that, small learning and orientation videos are easier to watch, and the employees will better
absorb their essence and inference. 

 Tracking and assessment 


With the help of e-learning, you can assess a learner's understanding of the subject and
document the same for future reference. This can help the employer to infer the effectiveness
of the training module in the best possible way. 

Feedback is critical when it comes to effective training. It helps understand the employees'
challenges and then implements them to devise new training programs for their upskilling. E-
Learning helps to gauge the feedback directly or indirectly by monitoring the progress and
asking the employee when they get stuck.
