10 Ways to Engage 21st Century Learners

Effective learning makes employees aligned, empowered, and ready to do their best work. It takes a special kind of training to get people excited, so here are ten ways to create a learning experience that actually engages today’s workers:

1. Invest in impactful, modern learning
Make training easily searchable, accessible, and consumable with our Microlearning® solution so that learning on the job is second nature. You can trust Grovo to provide your team with engaging, relevant Microlearning® lessons to help employees do their jobs better, all in the flow of their work day

2. Make the training your own
Time is precious, so get the most out of yours by personalizing groups of lessons, which we call tracks, for your employees around the skills they actually use everyday. Customize any lesson in Grovo’s off-the-shelf collections to meet the needs of your organization. Or create your own lessons either from scratch or use our templates!

3. Turn managers into mentors
More than bosses and managers, modern workers want coaches and mentors. Create a leadership academy for new managers and build a learning culture that your company can be proud of.

4. Teach mission during onboarding
Instill your organization’s mission and vision in a clear, uniform, and inspiring way during the onboarding process, celebrating the company’s history and values with new hires.

5. Help them learn by doing
Make learning content not only easily available, searchable, and on-demand, but also relevant by including realistic practice opportunities that help learners apply and reinforce new skills.

6. Offer a wide range of skills
Make training available on a wide range of professional skills! Employees will develop beyond just their current roles, and they’ll appreciate the investment you’re making in their careers.

7. Keep your content up to date
The skills needed to do good work are evolving constantly. Make sure your learning materials are up to date with high-quality training so that your employees can grow too!

8. Put learning in the workflow
Give your people the right information at the right time, whenever and wherever your employees are working. Whether they are at the office, in the field, at home, or on mobile devices, acquiring new skills becomes part of doing the job.

9. Educate employees about your business
How does your company make money? What is next year’s hiring plan? Where did your company win big this quarter? The more materials you can provide employees on how your organization functions, the more invested they’ll be in helping it grow!

10. Make real-time announcements and updates
Without the most recent information, employees are incapable of making the best decisions possible on the job. Keeping your employees educated will have a direct impact on their engagement and performance.
