The many business benefits offered by remote learning

Suppose you consider the best way to upskill your employees or give them the information they need to carry out their work. In that case, you need to look at the available remote learning options. Why are so many businesses adopting them? Well, it’s because they offer a range of commercial benefits that organisations can’t ignore.

That’s what we look at here, so by reading on, you’ll get the inside track on why exactly online learning options represent the savvy choice. There are some obvious benefits, but some not so, so let’s waste no more time and get straight into it.

It’s far more cost-effective

Let’s get down to looking at the fact that remote learning is simply a more cost-effective learning option for any company of any size. Costed elements like training rooms travel to a venue, and all the hardcopy course materials are taken out of the equation. However, with online learning, all that’s needed is a connected device – which people tend to have already!

It’s a quicker process

Adding to the cost-savings provided in setting up learning programs is the reduced amount of time your employees have to take out of their day. Believe it or not, remote learning is around 60% more efficient in terms of time spent when compared to traditional types of training, regardless of whether it takes place in a group or individually, so the savings are significant.

Learning tends to ‘stick’ better

Interactive content and gamification can all be included to increase engagement significantly, and the amount of information employees can retain for longer.

Able to fit around work obligations

The best kinds of online training tend to be delivered in bite-sized chunks. With more and more people working flexible hours, training can be taken via any device with greater flexibility. The training can very much fit around their current lifestyle and work obligations.

The greenest way to learn

With online training – there is no need for travel; you can log in and learn from any device – ultimately making this the greenest way to learn. No number of delegates driving to one location; your carbon footprint is zero from the off.

Scalable for companies with large workforces

Once the modules for your remote learning program have been designed, it’s easy to scale the whole thing up to cater to as many employees as your organisation has.
