What is Online Business Training?
Online business training can take many forms, but e learning services in the form of academy training online can act as a significant benefit to any business.
The American Society for Training and Development published a report in 2001 that offered an expanded definition of e-Learning.
They define e learning as:
“...instructional content or learning experiences delivered or enabled by electronic technology... that is designed to increase workers’ knowledge and skills so they can be more productive, find and keep high quality jobs, advance in their careers, and have a positive impact on the success of their employees, their families and their communities.”
A rather longwinded definition perhaps, but one that highlights how elearning can, and does, work to increase the productivity of businesses, as well as an individual too.
Training should never be the end result of eLearning, your business is, something often forgotten by many elearning services suppliers. Research has shown that investing in elearning and online training has significant business results – with a return on investment four times as high.
Creating an academy was an obvious choice for Worcestershire based Lean enterprise consultancy Lean Transition Solutions Ltd, as Director Brett Griffiths, explains.
“Our learning and development academy has helped us to gain a firm foundation to the training we provide and has seriously leveraged the training success rate,” he says.
“This enables us to quantify the return on investment to our clients and gain true sustainability to the training being used in practice in the work place.”
Advocates of online learning always point out that one of the major benefits of eLearning is that fact that is self-paced and the learning sessions are available 24x7, a major benefit in the digital age of constant communication and long working hours.
