Upskilling Employees in the Evolving Remote-Learning Environment
Personal and career growth are top drivers of employee engagement, according to Brandon Hall Group research. But during times of disruption, it’s easy to de-emphasize learning and deprive employees of opportunities to improve their skills to meet changing business needs. However, employers effectively leveraging digital learning resources can upskill and reskill workers, even with a larger remote workforce in a complex and evolving economic environment.
What’s on the Other Side? L&D and the Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic (Webinar)
Organizations have grappled with the digital transformation of learning for years, adopting new technologies slowly and in fits and starts. All the while, instructor-led classroom training remained the leading learning delivery method. But as the coronavirus pandemic reshapes the workplace, the digital transformation of learning must occur immediately. David Wentworth, Principal Learning Analyst with Brandon Hall Group and Samantha Lang, Content Director at SAP Litmos look at the current state of L&D in the face of the coronavirus pandemic and examine best practices in jump-starting digital learning transformation.
Learning & Development
Real Learning Measurement: Go Beyond Checking the Box
Let’s face it, Learning and Development for organizations is not easy. Companies spend vast amounts of time, energy and effort to create and deliver learning. What do they get in return? Most companies have no idea. Only half the companies in Brandon Hall Group’s 2020 Learning Measurement Study say they are either effective or very effective at measuring their formal learning programs. It’s far, far worse when it comes to informal (15%) and experiential (24%) learning.

Talent Management
Career Development: Resurrecting a Broken Process
In most organizations, career development has nowhere to go but up. One-quarter or less of employers give high ratings to any element of career development, according to the Brandon Hall Group’s latest research. The failures of career development affect an organization’s ability to compete and grow. This report recommends seven high-level strategies for improvement.
The Power of Technology in Driving Career and Competency Development
Less than half of organizations can meet talent needs with their current employees over the next one to two years, according to Brandon Hall Group research. The top reason is that Learning and Development is not sufficiently linked to career growth and critical job roles. To improve, organizations must increase use of learning technology to provide employees with compelling blended-learning experiences in the flow of work that link directly to competency and skill development and career growth.
The Power of Skills: Talent Transformation in a Time of Disruption
Employee engagement has been a critical problem for most organizations for years. Many reasons exist, but the lack of focus on developing critical skills is a big one. This eBook provides insights on how to leverage AI to understand skills, and how to develop the skills you need now and in the future.

Upcoming Webinars
Wednesday, July 29: How Employers Can Bring People Together Through Inclusion
Most organizations believe diversity and inclusion (D&I) is a powerful driver of business goals, according to Brandon Hall Group’s latest research. However, the majority don’t leverage the strategies, programs and processes to build an inclusive culture of diverse talent. D&I has never been more relevant than right now. The economic and social fallout from the coronavirus pandemic and racial injustice dramatically illustrate that people must come together. In this webinar, sponsored by Skillsoft and Cornerstone OnDemand, Brandon Hall Group’s Rachel Cooke and Claude Werder, are joined by Jonathan Jackson, Director, Director, CARE Research Center, Massachusetts General Hospital and Elisa Vincent, Vice President of Global Talent Enablement at Skillsoft.

Wednesday, August 12: Learning Agility: Five Ways Learning Will Change
