Despite the increased awareness, burnout is getting worse, as in tough economic times, greater outputs are needed from employees. Mental health in the workplace is becoming a focus for progressive organisations that value their employees as people, not costs on a balance sheet. 

Ongoing learning and development (L&D) are cornerstones of all successful organisations and contribute to keeping employees happy, fulfilled, and productive. As more organisations are looking to eLearning to meet their L&D goals, they’re also looking for methods to keep their employees engaged and committed to meeting their learning objectives.

Despite efforts by many HR and Learning and Development (L&D) managers to address the widening skills gap, a recent study shows that only half of employees consider the training provided by their employers to be useful.

The days when learning was thought to be a passive process of receiving new ideas and information are long gone. Today, effective learning is energic, active and actionable, and promotes the application of new ideas and information. This type of learning is referred to as “active learning”.

Every CEO, team leader, HR manager and L&D specialist, no matter the industry, wants to ensure the courses they develop to upskill and reskill their employees will not only keep them engaged and riveted, but also serve its objective of ensuring the right skills are learned and applied in their organisation.
