Organizations are facing difficult times when it comes to recruiting and maintaining talent who can help the organization reach its strategic goals. But why is that? Today there are 50,000 professional skills in the world, however, many organizations do not provide the necessary training to help professionals gain these skills.

In the L&D world, digital transformation has been a trending topic for years. However, due to recent circumstances, organizations are forced to launch online learning models nearly overnight.

COVID-19 caught the world off guard. No one was prepared for the economic fallout caused by lockdowns around the world.

The BenchPrep team attended and exhibited at the Training Conference & Expo 2020 in Orlando last week. This conference was nothing short of amazing for us as we had many insightful conversations, learned a lot about the current challenges within the training industry, and soaked up some sun (can you blame us? We’re from Chicago!)

Training activities are continuing to undergo significant re-evaluation and overhauling by L&D departments. Most organizations are shifting in-person trainings to digital learning platforms, but going from one extreme to the other can lead to uncertain outcomes. The challenge of balancing how to introduce digital components into a non-digital curriculum will be the most critical ingredient to developing an effective and efficient program.

When it comes to training their professionals, many global organizations are realizing that one size fits none. How can organizations develop learning programs that meet learners where they are in their learning journey, align with their unique learning styles, and empower them to succeed not only in the course but also in their career?
