Covid-19 has transformed the way businesses operate today, forcing many to adopt more agile and remote working practices to help keep workers safe and maintain social distancing. For those who can work remotely, the coronavirus lockdown has illustrated that businesses can continue to run effectively even if their staff are spread across different regions and even countries. After all, work is an activity, not a place.
Remote workers can be as productive as those who go to an office each day. Remote work is here to stay, and remote employees still need training and professional development to ensure business continuity and business success.
This evidently affects the L&D strategies of organizations, pushing them to find alternatives to face-to-face training. Therefore, L&D professionals need to step up their game, design the best learning experiences for all employees, and ensure continuous skills development for everyone.
