In today's fast-paced and ever-changing professional landscape, it’s crucial that businesses update their training methods to remain competitive. The traditional approach of long and intensive training sessions is no longer effective; neither are online Learning Management Systems / apps that simply migrate old content into new channels.

Today's time- and attention-strapped employees need to be able to access information quickly and efficiently to stay productive and engaged.

The way we train must be updated, simply put.

Updated methods like those offered by MotivationCheck (www.motivationcheck.com) have been proven to achieve employer goals of enhancing employee engagement and productivity by eliminating objections to participation and repackaging learning into a “sticky” format of gamified microlearning.

What is microlearning and why does it matter?

Have you noticed that your attention span and information retention / reading comprehension ability has decreased since the pandemic?

Do you see that you are more prone to scanning paragraphs or gravitating towards bullets and bold / colorful fonts?

You aren’t alone, and it has nothing to do with age or education.

The way we interact with written content has shifted dramatically in the last five years (hence “approximate reading time” becoming common with articles and posts), while training hasn’t. This is where MotivationCheck’s approach to microlearning is taking the corporate sector by storm.

* Small, bite-sized chunks. By breaking down training material into short bursts of learning (under 10 minutes max), employees can easily digest and retain the information, leading to better knowledge retention and application in the workplace.

* Mix of video / written text / quizlets. Each microlearning module is then broken down even further into smaller segments to capture the attention of individuals with different learning styles. Videos, short-form written text, questions and interactive activities all keep the learning moving.

* Instant access & flexibility. Employees can access training on-the-go, whether it's on their commute, during downtime, or while working remotely. This accessibility makes it easier for employees to stay up-to-date with their training, ensuring they are always equipped with the latest knowledge and skills needed to excel in their roles.

* Interactive / gamified. By incorporating interactive elements and real-life scenarios into the training, employees are more actively involved in the learning process, leading to higher levels of engagement and retention of information.

Moreover, learning apps like MotivationCheck Training can track employees' progress, provide instant feedback, and create a sense of community through collaborative learning activities, further boosting engagement and morale.
