About $12 billion is spent annually on leadership programs, specifically on top leaders of the organization (Jack Zenger, Forbes, 2012). However, only 20% of the skills or knowledge taught in leadership training programs is transferred into new leadership habits.

Technology is evolving constantly; it has seeped into our lives and has become a part of us. Every part of the world, every sphere of our lives, and every industry has been touched in some way or the other by technology. When technology seeped into the learning field some decades ago, nobody dreamed that it would forever change the way the world learned. However, learning has changed – not just in educational institutions, but in the learning and development (L&D) departments of industries as well. Across the globe, industries have welcomed this disruptive technology that has changed the way people think and relate to technology.

Managers overseeing a call service center know that their employees require ongoing training if they’re to truly excel at delivering excellent customer service. These managers are able to make the business case that their budgets need to have an annual line-item for training new employees, as well as training existing employees.

A highly trained, extended sales force can increase your revenue through increased sales of your products and services. And, you can sell your online training courses themselves to your partners and resellers, should you choose to do so.

It’s a vicious circle we’re in today. The majority of companies are letting employee development fall by the wayside – under pressures of the fast-paced marketplace, rapid growth or competitive threats. At the same time, these companies are raising and changing their hiring and skills requirements more rapidly than ever before. It's the combination of these two forces that’s creating the skills mismatch, and the large and growing skills gap we see in the U.S. today. In 2014, we have at least two unemployed workers for every open, unfilled job: 10 million active job-seekers vs. 4.8 million open roles according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The process of designing any sort of human experience, regardless of purpose or platform, is centered on reaching a desired outcome; ideally with as little fuss and as much joy as possible. The purpose of an experience and the platform on which the experience takes place will vary: purchasing a plane ticket on a tablet to vacation, enjoying a musical performance in a theater, or learning to code in a classroom. Although each of these experiences require its own unique methods and frameworks, elements that should be taken into consideration during the design process remain mostly the same.

Bringing on new employees can be an exciting experience, and in some cases it may be one of the best ways to add a fresh burst of energy to an organization.
Perhaps as a result of the difficulties often associated with onboarding, many “higher-ups” dislike or cringe at the hiring process. Choosing the right person to fit a specific role can be hard enough as it is, but things are made even more stressful when it is time for new employees to be trained.
