Does your current approach feel outdated in a digital business environment?<\/p>\n<p>If so, you\u2019re probably right.<\/p>\n<p>Today, digital technology is pushing every area of business forward \u2014 including the approach to employee training and development.<\/p>\n<p>Below, we&#8217;ll cover a few improvements that can help you make your training programs more modern, more digital, and more successful.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Effective employee training and development is fundamental to business success<\/h2>\n<p>Training and development look quite different now than they did a few decades ago.<\/p>\n<p>The introduction of new workplace technology, the subsequent demand for higher digital literacy, and the need for new employee skill sets mean companies must change their approach to training.<\/p>\n<p>Training and development programs can\u2019t be viewed as a side project or something to work on when there\u2019s spare time. Effective training is critical for keeping employees motivated and productive.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/1995\/05\/14\/us\/study-ties-educational-gains-to-more-productivity-growth.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">study<\/a> by the National Center on Educational Quality of the Workforce found that when businesses provided 10% more training opportunitities, they realized an 8.6% gain in productivity.<\/p>\n<p>Other studies have shown <a href=\"https:\/\/papers.ssrn.com\/sol3\/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2849769\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">direct links<\/a> between employee training and performance.<\/p>\n<p>An effective, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/employee-training\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cutting-edge training program<\/a> doesn\u2019t just help your employees achieve personal growth, it enables your organization to achieve business success.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/5-critical-employee-skills\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=inlink&amp;utm_campaign=proceed_ratio\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dive Deeper: 5 Critical Employee Skills in the Digital Workplace<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n<h2>5 training improvements to fit the digital age<\/h2>\n<p>Below are five improvements that will help your training programs keep up with the digital curve.<\/p>\n\n<h3>1.

Emphasize communication skills development.<\/h3>\n<p>The integration of digital technology in internal operations demands the development of new \u201chard\u201d technical skills, but that doesn\u2019t replace the need for \u201csoft skills.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Soft skills such as communication, collaboration, problem-solving, and decision making should account for an important part of the modern <a href=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/glossary\/employee-training\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">employee training<\/a> curriculum.<\/p>\n<p>Not only because we want our employees to be well-rounded, but because soft skills are important from a job development perspective.<\/p>\n<p>Ask yourself if the following could fit into your training program:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n \t<li>Public speaking<\/li>\n \t<li>Negotiation<\/li>\n \t<li>Conflict resolution<\/li>\n \t<li>Empathy and people-reading<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>An organization that cultivates such skills will run smoother, have a better work environment, and be more attractive to jobseekers in the marketplace.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/pages\/training-corporate-2-maximize-effectiveness-2\/?eco=training&amp;adin=5-employee-training-and-development-tips-ll01&amp;land=training-corporate-2-maximize-effectiveness-2&amp;pitch=Adoption-Promotion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><strong>Discover how the Digital Adoption Platform (DAP) instantly boosts training effectiveness.

So demonstrate the value of your program in light of its career-enhancing potential.<\/p>\n<p>When speaking to leadership, emphasize its organizational benefits. Point out, for instance, that skilled employees are more engaged, productive, and loyal.<\/p>\n<p>Show the ROI of training and leaders are likely to listen.<\/p>\n\n<h3>4. Focus on the learner by personalizing training.<\/h3>\n<p>Today, digital businesses recognize the value of user-centric business models.<\/p>\n<p>And the reason is simple \u2013 people are the centers of their own worlds.<\/p>\n<p>When you enter their world and put them first, they will learn more effectively and perform better.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to employee training, focus on:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Personal interests<\/strong> \u2013 Each learner has specific interests.
