We hear often about a talent shortage impacting several industries, from marketing to information technology.
To stay competitive, talent is tasked with keeping their skills sharp during a work climate where they are expected to perform in less time and with fewer resources.
To face this challenge, consider encouraging your current and future talent to engage in micro-learning, one of the most popular and emerging trends in adult learning. Best utilized when you actively need new information, micro-learning is excellent if you need to learn a soft, or more literal skill quickly.
During a work day, it might be difficult to find time for a lengthy course complete with exams and study guides. Consider making your micro-learning adventures into an reoccurring afternoon by spending some time off-site, or at a quarterly lunch & learn to review.
