Are you getting the results you want from your current business training procedures? If not, it may be time to look at more interactive and interesting ways to train your employees. Below are some of the most effective ways to achieve this important business goal.
Video
Video technology has come a long way in recent years. It’s the perfect medium for transferring information and it’s an effective way to learn. Video files can be easily distributed through a range of paid and free methods. All of the content required to learn a new skill or gain new knowledge is contained in a digital video. If you don’t understand something or don’t like learning in a traditional classroom setting, you can simply play back sections of the video until you understand it.
Gamification
Traditionally, many training techniques were dull and boring. A range of gamification systems have changed this and made training a much more enjoyable, interactive experience.
Game-based technologies are used to create training programs for new and existing employees of an organization. During this type of training, trainees are faced with different choices to test their decision making skills and other skills that will be vital in a particular work environment.
Webinars
If you want to train a number of people remotely at the same time, holding a webinar or a series of webinars is an effective way to do this. The latest webinar systems are able to host high quality webinars for as few as one or two people or for huge training events with thousands of attendees.
These webinars usually include chat features where question and answer sessions are catered for. Webinars can also be recorded so attendees, or those who couldn’t make it to a particular training session, can play back everything that happened at a time that suits them.
On-site Training
Sometimes a business needs to combine the latest technologies with a personal touch. The best way to do this is to hire a training provider that offers on-site training. This is a less disruptive, face-to-face method of training. For example, you may want employees to sign up for Six Sigma certification courses but you’re not in a position to send important staff away on this type of course.
Instead, the course can come to you and be provided at your business premises. The options available to you can be found on websites like www.6sigma.us, and you’ll find you can tailor the type of training you require to suit your business needs.
Mobile Apps
Mobile apps take interactive learning to another level. You can combine all of the amazing features you already have on your smartphone to make this type of training more effective. You have 24-hour access to this type of training and you can do it from any location where you have an internet or network connection.
The latest technologies have changed the way we consume information and learn new skills. The list of interactive training methods above includes some of some of the best ways to do this.
