The posts in this category address various aspects of remote work and how training programs must adapt to this new reality.
Digital transformation, which was well underway before the current global crisis, just got a huge boost and will not reverse. As a result, it is important to develop good digital training strategies for remote teams and prepare for the very near future.
As you transition your business to a remote working environment, you need to be patient,as not everyone will adjust overnight (and that is okay). The important thing is that you provide your team with every resource you can to ensure the success and growth of your business.
The very first step to take when designing asynchronous training experiences for remote learners is to decide where exactly on the synchronous-asynchronous spectrum the new online training course needs to be. There are at least four different types of training on this spectrum:
The transition to remote work can be somewhat bumpy,but it doesn’t have to be that hard. Leaders may find that their teams are actually able to be more productive and are more engaged when working from home, once provided with the right resources.

Even if your goal is to convert existing face-to-face material into e-learning modules, keep in mind that you are doing a whole lot more than transcribing text onto screens. The point is to use what you have but repurpose it so that it truly leverages all that technology has to offer.
If you feel that when you are converting your existing classroom course to e-learning you are starting from scratch, it’s because you actually are.

For your remote team to be productive, you should teach them to prioritize tasks, use effective communication apps, manage distractions, and solve problems effectively. With these skills, they’ll be more productive wherever they are.
In the context of extended remote work, global teams, and a growing need for brevity, flexibility and efficiency, having a good Learning Management System will make the difference between companies who navigate changes successfully and those who struggle.
Whether you have a big home with an already established office or you need to move stuff around in your kitchen to make room for office equipment, modern technology offers all that is necessary to make remote work actually work for you.
