You already know that a team armed with engaging learning and development options will not only be more productive<\/a>, they\u2019ll also make fewer (potentially costly) errors, and they\u2019ll be more likely to stick with you<\/a> in the long run. So, you made the smart decision and invested in an employee training program.<\/p>\n

But, now some time has passed and you\u2019re wondering how often you should revitalize your offering and if you need a training catalog update already. The short answer is: as often as possible and most likely.<\/p>\n

Not sure if you\u2019re in need of a refresh? Check out the list below and see if any of these scenarios apply to your employee training.<\/p>\n

\"Diverse<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s got skill gaps<\/h3>\n

Thanks to turnover, ever-evolving technology, and shifting business landscapes, an IBM study found that companies lose 10 to 30 percent<\/a> of their original capabilities every year.<\/p>\n

That means if you\u2019re not investing in updating your employee training at least once a year, you\u2019re likely hemorrhaging vital skills and knowledge.<\/p>\n

Plus, skipping a training catalog update or two could open you up to costly consequences. From lawsuits to missed profits, from halted operations and even federal penalties, there\u2019s a long list of potential financial woes you could endure if your team isn\u2019t up to snuff on mandatory compliance certifications\u2014not to mention risk of injury from unsafe work environments.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a pain to use<\/h3>\n

If your employee training catalog consists of a pile of papers, a stack of DVDs (or, heaven forbid, VHS tapes), your offering is a bit outdated\u2014but you\u2019re not alone.<\/p>\n

In fact, a 2016 LinkedIn survey found that 78 percent<\/a> of 500 learning and development professionals still use in-person, classroom training as their primary method, and only 12 percent of corporate learning is available via mobile device.<\/p>\n

But, even if you\u2019ve got an online learning management system, you might not be as cutting edge as you think. Though it\u2019s not yet the norm at work, 67 percent of people do use their mobile devices as a learning tool, and employees today want a modern LMS that\u2019s mobile friendly, responsive and available 24\/7, anywhere they are.<\/p>\n

In fact, the same LinkedIn survey found that 52 percent of employees want learning and development available on their schedule, while 47 percent of them want training to be accessible in the evenings and on weekends.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s cheesy\u2014and not in a delicious way<\/h3>\n

It may sound silly, but outdated fashions and phrases can quickly show a training video or module\u2019s age. One set of outrageous shoulder pads may lead your employees to laugh\u2014or worse\u2014tune out.<\/p>\n

The bottom line: if your team members aren\u2019t identifying with and engaging in the training, it simply won\u2019t be as effective.<\/p>\n

Launch a better training program ASAP<\/h3>\n
