3. 3. As the future of work changes, learning must change with it. The growing consumerization of technology, for example, is both a challenge and an opportunity for learning. Demographic shifts are creating multigenerational workforces with different expectations, interests, goals, and learning styles. As a result, companies must offer a choice of learning tools and techniques to meet the needs of individual learners. Similarly, the growing number of contingent workers, contractors, and freelancers in a more geographically dispersed workforce will have a significant effect on how learning is accessed and consumed. Companies can respond in three key ways: • Keep your workforce enabled and engaged • Create a continuous learning environment • Make learning social, mobile, and fun Why Learning Needs to Evolve The powerful forces that are changing the nature of work LEARN MORE Deliver more ROI from corporate training.

5. 5. Create a Continuous Learning Environment Why traditional ways of training are not enough in today’s connected world The old ways of training – top down, episodic, and focused on formal instruction – are no longer adequate in today’s fast-paced business world.

This should include on-the-job training, coaching and mentoring, and encouraging workers to learn what they need, when they need to learn it. To achieve this, companies need to demonstrate a two-pronged strategy that improves both the content delivered and the way the employees consume it. 78% Of employees say it is very important to work for a digitally enabled company or a digital leader.
