Request a demo today.<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p>When the digital workplace keeps changing gears, you must learn to nurture an agile organization.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Be prepared for anything: How to train employees for the future<\/h2>\n<p>Here are four ways to future-proof your workforce:<\/p>\n\n<h3>1. Leverage the power of tech to address individual employee needs<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-5645\" src=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/12\/As-the-business-landscape-evolves-2-1.jpg\" alt=\"how to train employees\" width=\"500\" height=\"313\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/12\/As-the-business-landscape-evolves-2-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/12\/As-the-business-landscape-evolves-2-1.jpg?resize=300,188 300w, https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/12\/As-the-business-landscape-evolves-2-1.jpg?resize=80,50 80w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/>First thing\u2019s first: How can you prepare your employees for the next big disruption?<\/p>\n<p>This is where contextual learning comes into play. By utilizing digital learning tools that enable contextual learning, you can predict where your employees need support. In the moment of need, your employee won\u2019t struggle to adopt a new system.<\/p>\n<p>Consider the resources you need to onboard new hires. A year could pass before you see a return on that investment. But as quickly as that employee can make the jump from new hire to valuable <a href=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/5-new-hire-onboarding-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">contributor<\/a>, it\u2019s a game-changer for confidence.<\/p>\n<p>How does confidence translate to ROI? You\u2019ll see a more engaged, more productive hire who feels well-integrated in your company \u2014 and employee success all hinges on strong onboarding.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s more, the next time <a href=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/version-updates-digital-adoption-plan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a major version update<\/a> shakes up enterprise software, not even your veteran employees will be afraid. In the click of a mouse, a contextual learning tool will guide employees to achieve proficiency on even the most complex enterprise technology.<\/p>\n<p>Between personalized <a href=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/emotionally-intelligent-software\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AI<\/a> and algorithms, when you think of how to train employees to conquer the future frontier of work, the way humans learn is dramatically changing.<\/p>\n<p>By cutting out UX frustration \u201cpotholes,\u201d you\u2019re protecting the evolution of your team. You\u2019re helping train employees to excel on whatever platform next disrupts the software-verse.<\/p>\n\n<h3>2. Learn where your team\u2019s \u201cgaps\u201d are and rethink performance management<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-5646\" src=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/12\/no-one-wants-to-feel-diminished-1.jpg\" alt=\"how to train employees\" width=\"500\" height=\"313\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/12\/no-one-wants-to-feel-diminished-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/12\/no-one-wants-to-feel-diminished-1.jpg?resize=300,188 300w, https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/12\/no-one-wants-to-feel-diminished-1.jpg?resize=80,50 80w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/>Think of how you\u2019re choosing to develop your talent. Before you can future-proof your employees, they\u2019ll need to improve their areas of challenge. That means you need to be an expert on what\u2019s holding them back.<\/p>\n<p>Your goal is to find out where \u201cskills gaps\u201d exist. Without understanding where your team\u2019s challenges are, it will be impossible to overcome future obstacles.<\/p>\n<p>Your first mission is to take a broad overhead view. Assess the current state. Where are your employees falling short? What skills do you need to be acquired to meet your goals? What traits must you develop to become adaptable and agile?<\/p>\n<p>Next, get more granular \u2014 how are you developing your employees\u2019 performance?<\/p>\n<p>Today\u2019s leaders need to crack the \u201cnew performance review.\u201d To identify the \u201cgaps\u201d that need extra coaching, encourage a positive, open dialogue between managers and employees. No one wants to feel diminished as just a ranking or a rating.<\/p>\n<p>We want to deliver our employees constructive feedback that will help them <a href=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/digital-transformation-decoded\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">succeed<\/a>. We want them to feel appreciated and excited about opportunities to grow. Then, they\u2019ll have the confidence to tackle their challenges in a shifting business landscape.<\/p>\n\n<h3>3. Drive engagement by investing in professional development<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-5647\" src=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/12\/Prove-to-your-employees-1.jpg\" alt=\"how to train employees\" width=\"500\" height=\"313\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/12\/Prove-to-your-employees-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/12\/Prove-to-your-employees-1.jpg?resize=300,188 300w, https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/12\/Prove-to-your-employees-1.jpg?resize=80,50 80w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/>More than perks or bonuses, a sense of purpose, opportunities for growth, and self-actualization fuels intrinsic motivation in your employees. If you want your employees to be engaged and proactive about meeting future challenges, you must show them the path for growth.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/pages\/training-pw-1-management-never-easier\/?eco=training&amp;adin=how-to-train-employees-ll01&amp;land=training-pw-1-management-never-easier&amp;pitch=Employee-Productivity\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Quantum Workplace<\/a>, employees they polled cited professional growth opportunity as one of the strongest drivers of engagement. Not surprisingly, employees who left their jobs pointed to lack of growth opportunities as their second highest reason for quitting.<\/p>\n<p>Your employees must feel that after a year with your team, they can measure their progress. This isn\u2019t just about titles and promotions. In fact, most employees care more about development of new skills and capabilities.<\/p>\n<p>Show your team how much you value their talents. Dial up <a href=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/to-importance-of-employee-motivation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">motivation<\/a> by proving it to them. Providing formal opportunities for education, encouraging them to attend relevant conferences, and other investments in their career development won\u2019t go unnoticed.<\/p>\n<p>As you figure out how to train employees for the future, it\u2019s important not to underestimate personal development. Ownership of a new role or project lends new meaning to the work an employee does for your organization.<\/p>\n\n<h3>4. Cherry-pick your managers<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-5648\" src=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/12\/Bijou-Solutions-Inc.-1.jpg\" alt=\"how to train employees\" width=\"500\" height=\"313\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/12\/Bijou-Solutions-Inc.-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/12\/Bijou-Solutions-Inc.-1.jpg?resize=300,188 300w, https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/12\/Bijou-Solutions-Inc.-1.jpg?resize=80,50 80w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/>Managers are your employees\u2019 coaches, the champions of your talent. But not everyone is a good fit for a manager. Pick strong leaders to lead \u2014 those who can inspire, motivate, and drive you employees succeed amid change and uncertainty.<\/p>\n<p>Do your managers really want the role? You need <a href=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/4-employee-training-mistakes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">managers<\/a> who understand what being a manager means. Your employees want a mentor, teacher, and support system. Managers need to do all of the above \u2014 while delivering criticism, feedback, and performance reviews.<\/p>\n<p>But what happens if you choose bad managers? You\u2019ll risk disengaging high-potential employees.<\/p>\n<p>To be ready for the future world of work, your company needs managers who can take on everything.<\/p>\n<p>Only 13% of employees worldwide are engaged, according to Gallup\u2019s report: \u201cThe Worldwide Employee Engagement Crisis.\u201d It\u2019s a problem when a monster 87% of the global workforce does not actually care about the work they do or the success of their company.<\/p>\n<p>Your employees want to feel seen and heard \u2014 this is when true engagement soars. The right leaders help companies sustain talent-driven teams.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re unwilling to let go of a bad manager, don\u2019t be surprised when your good employees start packing. Future-proofing your employees starts at the top.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Preparing for the future digital frontier starts now<\/h2>\n<p>Help your team stay a step ahead of the digital curve. If you design a workplace looking ahead, your employees won\u2019t screech to a halt \u2014 they\u2019ll ease the wheel of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/how-to-manage-change\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">change<\/a> straight into 2049.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">________<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">WalkMe\u2019s Digital Adoption Platform (DAP) transforms the user experience in today\u2019s overwhelming digital world.
