Generation names sound a bit like alphabet soup. Gen X, Y and now Z. Then, we have the previous generation like the Baby Boomers. What do they all have in common? By 2020, they’ll all be together in the workforce*. With the blended workforce, you need to be asking the question, “How am I developing this diverse group; and, am I focusing on the right learning channels?”

On-demand learning opportunities are growing exponentially
to reach learners. The benefits of increased retention and productivity -- coupled
with a faster learning curve -- has made
it a go-to channel for learning. Beyond that, your audience demands it. To get
you thinking about your direction, take a look at this infographic.
Who are you focused on? Not only do you want the right learning channels offered, you also want to know your staff is receiving accurate, consistent and compliant training resources.

So, what’s available? When I needed to learn how to tie a
tie, I turned to YouTube. When credit unions employees need a quick ‘how to’,
they can go to our MicroLearning
hub. MicroLearnings are five-minute-or-less
learning modules. They can be quickly
viewed, then immediately applied on the job. MicroLearnings can assist the learner by increasing product
knowledge, enhancing member conversations and improving leadership
interactions. In short, they can find what they need, when they need it.
You don’t have to stop there! For additional, flexible and
engaging training opportunities, check out our 2017
webinar series. It’s available at no charge to credit unions who use our lending solutions. So, be
sure to register today!
You can provide an exceptional development experience for
your blended workforce across today’s digital channels. Two of the four generations
in today’s workplace have grown up with technology in their hands, and the
other two are consuming digital information at record volumes. And, all of them
expect access to information when and how they want. Learning
for professional development is no
different. So, stay ahead of the learning curve.
