Remote Work

What’s Your Hybrid Training Readiness Score? [Quiz]

November 1, 2021

The pandemic has forever changed how we work and learn. Not only have organizations discovered the strategic possibilities of a distributed workforce, but employees have also come to expect flexibility and choice in how they communicate and collaborate.

Even as companies around the world return to physical offices and facilities, training both in-person and remote employees will be essential to thriving in a competitive business environment.

Hybrid training is here to stay. Are you ready?

How does your team deliver training curricula?

We take an ad-hoc approach to training delivery. Sometimes we have an asynchronous (on-demand) pre-read but most of the time we’re on a Zoom call.

We proactively design curriculum delivery based on the type of training and employee needs, using a combination of synchronous and asynchronous methods.

I’m not sure what asynchronous means. We approach in-person and remote training the same way, often repeating sessions for each group of learners.

How well do you understand your workforce’s learning style?

Very well – we know what percentage of staff are in-person and remote, their preferred digital devices, and what they hope to achieve from training.

I don’t know how, when, or where my employees prefer to learn.

Somewhat – we know our workforce demographics but aren’t sure how or with which devices and tools they prefer to learn.

Does your team record training?

No, I’m not sure how or where to record training.

Always. We record formal sessions and informal social learning moments and automatically save them in a secure, searchable library.

We record formal training and upload it to our internal cloud when there’s enough time and bandwidth.

Is your training available on-demand?

Yes – employees have access to training at the speed of need in our searchable video learning library.

We save a few Zoom training recordings in Sharepoint but employees have trouble quickly finding the right content.

We don’t store or share our training.

How integrated is your training tech stack?

We use Microsoft Stream because it’s included in Office 365, but fragmented functionality and additional licensing costs are a burden.

Managing multiple tools is a real headache. Juggling e-mail, printed materials, video recordings, and our LMS takes up a lot of my team’s time.

Our single, comprehensive video library integrates seamlessly with our corporate LMS and conferencing tools. Recording training is automatic, secure, and easy.

Do you encourage social and experiential learning?

Most of our training is formal content. We might have employees record offboarding videos when they leave the organization.

Our training is a combination of formal content delivered by professional trainers and informal, social learning between team members.

All of our training is formal content. Purchase or production costs take up a lot of my budget.

How do you measure the ROI of your training?

We use feedback surveys but don’t have quantitative metrics for how employees engage with training.

We measure success by the number of courses delivered. Proving ROI to leadership is always an uphill battle.

We use a combination of qualitative surveys and robust video engagement analytics to make the business case for L&D at the organization.

Are your training tools aligned with IT and Procurement?

Yes – IT and Procurement see the strategic value of my tech stack.

Not quite – we talk about tools but bandwidth and security are always an issue.

Who looks after IT again?
