Editor’s Note

It feels as though information about the coronavirus pandemic gets updated on a minute-by-minute basis – alerts about the pandemic’s toll, promising news about treatments and vaccines, and the introduction of new safety guidelines and mandates.

Given the rapid flow of information about the pandemic, it’s critical for employers to be able to quickly and accurately communicate with their workforce. That’s where the right learning management system can lend a high-tech hand.
 

Check out this month's cover article, Learning Management Systems During COVID-19 by Trish Stromberg, to understand how an LMS can come to your help in these circumstances.

In 3 Strategies To Make Diversity And Inclusion Training Successful, Trent Howell talks in detail about the three key components - employee buy-in, actionable skills, and followup - that are essential for the success of diversity and inclusion training.

Social learning offers one of the best behavioral models available because you literally see what you need to do. But can it work for employees who aren’t physically located in the office? Christopher Pappas, in his article 6 Ways Social Learning Platforms Promote Positive Behavior Change In Your Remote Team, delves deeper into the topic.

In Straight Talk with HR.com, Simon Greany, Chief Learning Officer, at Elucidat, talks about the changes COVID-19 is bringing to the learning world. Check out the interview, “To Engage Employees, Align Training With Their Personal Goals”.

Also, check out the Podcast, where Dr. Heidi Scott and Brian Fretwell discuss How Are Work Relationships Changing?, and Trent Howell's 3 Strategies To Make Diversity And Inclusion Training Successful, among others.

We hope the July edition of Training & Development Excellence answers all your queries around employee learning and development..
