ATD DEMO DAY: Upgrade Your LMS

Reimagine the Role of L&D in the Modern WorkplaceHow can we possibly keep up? This question is front and center in today’s workplace thanks to the downright ridiculous pace of change. There’s a never-ending stream of new processes, regulations, products, and technologies with which employees must contend. And in the middle of everything—between executives, stakeholders, managers, IT, subject matter experts, legal, and employees—sits L&D, charged with making sure people have the knowledge and skills needed to execute but rarely provided with the time and resources to get it done.The Modern Learning Ecosystem outlines a practical approach for navigating nonstop workplace change. Inspired by decades of operations and talent development experience with the world’s most dynamic companies, learning and enablement expert JD Dillon challenges the traditional L&D mindset with a tried-and-true framework that makes right-fit support a meaningful part of the everyday workflow. This book provides step-by-step instructions for architecting a disruption-ready learning ecosystem that will help employees solve today’s biggest problems while building the knowledge and skills needed to seize tomorrow’s opportunities.Do you believe workplace learning is about more than courses? Do you struggle to gain stakeholder buy-in for alternative learning strategies? Do you want to make smarter decisions when it comes to solution design, technology application and measurement practices? Grab your copy of The Modern Learning Ecosystem and make sure the people you support are always ready for what comes next.

The Modern Learning Ecosystem

Eighty percent of the global workforce is frontline employees. They have always been an important part of your business. They’re the face of your brand, and they work directly with your customers and products. Right now, the COVID-19 pandemic is reminding us of just how essential these workers are to your organizations and communities. Healthcare workers. Grocery associates. Bank employees. Delivery drivers. They continue to clock in every day so others can stay home and avoid infection.
Organizations are rapidly exploring new ways to get these frontline employees the support they need to do their best work. Traditional training just isn’t an option. People don’t have time for online courses, and they cannot be brought together for classroom sessions. Instead, L&D teams are shifting their mindsets and rethinking their approaches to workplace training so they can focus on what matters to their employees, customers, and communities.
Join us on June 3 to hear stories from some of the industries most affected by COVID-19 and learn how they are helping their employees stay safe and productive in the face of unprecedented disruption.
During this webcast we will discuss:
 

the everyday reality and support needs of frontline employees and the importance of communication in enabling frontline performance
how to partner with stakeholders to align on priorities and identify right-fit solutions
how to adapt your learning strategy to enable performance during times of disruption.
