Five common hurdles in L&D and specific ways we help firms leap over them

Struggling with learning initiatives that don’t hit the mark?

You’re not alone.

Here are five common hurdles in L&D and specific ways we help firms leap over them:

1. Make Learning Fun and Engaging

Challenge: Dry, click-through courses lose your team’s attention.

Solution: Spice up your training by including storytelling elements, then add interactive elements like

• – quizzes,
• – real-life simulations,
• – and engaging storylines that keep learners hooked.

Consider gamification if it aligns with your learning needs and the available technology.

2. Promote Your Curriculum

Challenge: Not enough learners enroll in courses.

Solution: Plan marketing campaigns within your enterprise to make learners aware of the learning opportunities they have.

3. Leverage Automation for Nudges

Challenge: Learners ignore the learning. Enroll and forget.

Solution: Carefully plan nudges to encourage learners to finish the courses they’ve enrolled in.

4. Make Learning a Part of Organizational Culture

Challenge: Focus on only formal training.

Solution: A significant amount of learning happens through informal learning sources, such as observation, 1-1 mentoring, etc.

While formal training sessions are essential, their effectiveness increases if the organization has a culture of learning, and the participants are motivated to upskill and learn more.

5. See Real Results

Challenge: Wondering if your training is really working?

Solution: Identify and measure the right metrics from your learning management systems or other platforms.
