After sending many employees to work remote during the coronavirus pandemic, employers were forced to transition the many programs and initiatives that form their broader talent strategies to an alternative format.
Learning programs were no exception, and recent research reflects a push by employers to adopt technological workarounds that circumvent restrictions on in-person work. Sari Wilde, managing vice president of Gartner s HR practice, told HR Dive in July 2020 that nearly 85% of L&D functions had shifted in-person training to virtual formats. Online learning also experienced a boost, with vendors such as Cornerstone Learning reporting increased logins and millions of training hours spent on their platforms.
