The future of workplace learning: fast, measurable and actually effective
A recent LinkedIn Learning report found that organisations with strong career development programmes see 2.4× higher learner engagement, proof that effective learning isn’t a ‘nice-to-have’; it’s a strategic imperative.
We’ve known intuitively for years that training alone is not enough, yet the shift toward true learning continues to lag. The real question now is not why adopt eLearning, it’s how fast you can transform it into behaviour change.
The science of better learning
Studies by the Research Institute of America show eLearning boosts information retention by 25–60% compared to a mere 8–10% from traditional face-to-face methods. And because learners can engage at their own pace, whenever and wherever, it’s 40–60% faster than in-person training. That’s efficiency and effectiveness working hand-in-hand, no trade-offs needed.
Why it matters right now
As hybrid work becomes the norm, the pace of change accelerates, especially with AI reshaping job roles. Yet leaders and learners alike feel the pressure: burnout levels have surged, and meaningful connection is harder to maintain.
This seismic shift means organisations need learning experiences that are:
- Flexible: microlearning works within real workdays
- Relevant: scenario-based with immediate application
- Measurable: data that demonstrates engagement and outcomes
And because eLearning isn’t just online, or simply digital, it can meet all these needs and more.
How the Behaviour Change Hub delivers
-
Expert-led, clinically validated content
Our modules are crafted by lawyers, psychologists and behavioural scientists — subject to continuous legal and clinical review. That rigour builds trust and credibility in highly regulated sectors. -
Bite-sized, immersive learning
Each micro-module is only 5–10 minutes — but packed with real-world scenarios, reflection prompts, quizzes and practical takeaways. Like Laing O’Rourke’s move to TikTok-style learning, users can learn in flow. -
Measurable engagement and impact
Real-time dashboards let leaders track enrolment, completion, module interaction and behavioural change, not just clicks. That level of insight is proving invaluable to organisations investing in culture transformation. -
Built for today’s workforce
Whether it's mobile, desktop or blended learning with facilitated workshops, our behaviour change hub is designed for a global, hybrid workforce. It puts learning where people are, and where they work.
What this means for HR and L&D leaders
If your organisation is struggling with siloed compliance training, slow culture shift or too much instructional load, here’s the fix: integrate eLearning with purpose. Allow your people to learn faster, apply instantly and grow continuously.
The choice is stark: companies investing in career-driven learning, not just modules, are building adaptable, future-ready teams. Those that stay static in dated models risk losing both talent and traction.
A simple invitation
Begin with one module that aligns to your strategic challenge, whether that’s building psychological safety, preventing workplace harm or empowering bystanders. Then measure it. Adjust it. Scale it.
In today’s world, eLearning isn’t optional, it’s essential. And when it’s done right, it stops being about training, and starts being about transformation.
