Involvement before boarding
Modern platforms for creating talent experiences offer new employees the opportunity to "come on board" before the actual date for boarding. The optimal way is to use personalised content prepared directly by management. These might be CEO videos, podcasts and internal live broadcasts that warmly and personally welcome the newcomer. In addition to passing on necessary information, this type of shaping experience is inspiring and instils a culture of curiosity and learning from the beginning.
The only gateway to all knowledge and learning
Make it easier for employees to access further training and information in a single space and with a few clicks. New talent development pathways also require further personalisation of content, so employees don't waste valuable time taking inappropriate courses or finding the information they need. The future lies in automation and machine learning, and content tailored to the personal educational goals and roles of anyone interested in further development. Customised content leads to a rapid increase in productivity and supports the daily habits of microlearning. At all times, students have full control over their study experience.
Faster access to knowledge across the company
Companies suffer from a lack of cooperation due to departmental forces, differences in time zones, and remote work due to the pandemic. In the future, successful cooperation between employees will require a faster and smoother approach to mutual knowledge. For accelerating access to institutional knowledge, some digital solutions now offer their own functionality channels for sharing and transferring practice across teams (e.g. MS Teams, Salesforce, Facebook Workplace, G-Suite, VMWare, WorkspaceOne, etc.). This is real learning in the course of work.
Expert network
Research shows that, as a rule, around 20% of the best experts in any organisation can increase the performance of others by 80% by sharing their knowledge. The creation of an expert network is thus essential for operational success and long-term sustainability. Some editorial tools allow professionals to create podcasts, videos, share projects, courses, etc., so they can offer their expertise to others. Support your experts in this effort: in turbulent times, it will definitely pay off.
Skills taxonomy and ontology
Roles and skills quickly become obsolete. According to estimates by the World Economic Forum, PwC, McKinsey and Accenture, lack of skills is a trillion-dollar problem. Some digital solutions offer a taxonomy designed to address skills shortages and maintain the largest global skill set while facilitating companies' ability to develop their own skills matrix. It is suggested organisational skills sets be aligned with the available and recommended content of development and 360-degree evaluation. From skills to careers, a path based on artificial intelligence allows talents to find aspiration roles and gain learning plans that close their skills gaps. Employees will always be in control of their development opportunities.
