Beyond developing specific skills and competencies for the job, it can also indirectly contribute to the development of other personal skills, such as creativity and emotional intelligence.
However, it's important to underline that the new formats of corporate training, which are a trend for this year, didn't just emerge after the Covid-19 pandemic. Many of these training formats were already present in the market, while others have seen their technology develop and gain space.
In this article, we will show you the main formats of corporate training so that your team continues to develop, especially in such a challenging time. Stay on this side and follow the reading of this article!
One of the great challenges for companies, besides having to train large groups of people, is the lack of time, as dedicating several hours to a single topic can compromise the results of some ongoing projects.
Microlearning had already carved out its space in corporate training, even before the pandemic caused by the coronavirus. It's a teaching model delivered in small "portions," with knowledge organized in a practical way and divided into several parts. Thus, the professional can dedicate a few minutes to reinforce their knowledge, during those "dead times" that the day has.
The importance of the mobile phone in current times is evident – as is people's interest in these devices, even during work hours. Why not take advantage of this close contact employees have with their smartphones and invest in corporate training?
There is already a great variety of applications and content developed for this purpose, as well as the possibility to create your own training, which will interact with students through the mobile screen, thereby generating greater interest from the trainees, flexibility in scheduling, and consequently better learning.
Another example of technology that has been present in our lives for some time and continues to develop and gain space — not only in corporate education but also in classrooms of children and adolescents — is virtual reality.
Virtual reality can simulate various everyday situations of the company, which brings much more than theoretical knowledge to professionals. Moreover, this is a very interesting, dynamic, and motivating way of learning.
Imagine being able to virtually insert your team into a location, so that people know how to act when they are finally there in person! Training that ensures efficiency and also the safety of employees.
Another technology that is very successful among people of all ages is games. More than just entertaining or distracting, games are a playful and recreational way to enhance teaching, while enabling the application of theory in practice.
The possibilities of gamification are numerous and can be applied according to the characteristics of your company, employees, and the objectives of corporate training. Among the most common are competitions, rankings, challenges, etc.
Another benefit of this resource is that it can train professionals both individually and collectively, through the creation of groups of competitors. In this way, team spirit and good coexistence are also encouraged — which makes gamification a tool for working on relationship and communication problems among employees, for example.
For some time now, it has been noticed in corporate education that the student is no longer that person who sits passively learning, without expressing themselves. More and more, the protagonism of teaching comes into play, as well as the need for personalization of this training.
It's necessary, for example, to ensure that the training (both the content and the methodology) is inserted into the context of the employee and also in line with their profile, in order to generate interest. Only then will the content be effectively absorbed and the results achieved.
Also known as b-learning, this is a way to offer your employees distance learning with some type of interaction. Hence the term "blended," meaning mixed.
In blended learning, it's possible to offer, for example, remote training but also ensure interaction and dynamics, such as discussions, evaluations, group presentations, among others. Thus, these exchanges will motivate those professionals who do not absorb content well when they are completely alone and also foster participation from all involved.
It's indeed a great challenge for HR professionals or department directors to keep up with corporate training trends and know how to implement them in your company in the best way. And for this, it's essential to always be attentive to the novelties of this segment.
