We hope you’re staying safe and well in these challenging times. It’s been great to see so many new users join the Community this week – welcome to all of you!
In the last couple of weeks many organisations have been moving entirely online which can be a big shift in the way that many people work. This can affect organisations’ daily work, people's training and development as well as individuals’ appraisals and performance management. To be able to manage all of these different areas of work we need to think deeply about how the different spheres of work connect together. Next week, we’ll be running a webinar which will allow you to reflect on the need for an integrated digital ecosystem which can bring learning, performance management and employee engagement together.
Join Totara’s Chief Learning Officer, Lars Hyland on the 8th April 4PM BST / 10 AM CST as he covers:
- Why people matter – strategy trends
- What motivates us at work?
- The move to more integrated ecosystems
- The strategic flexibility of open technology
As we work from home, many people have questioned how we can stay engaged and focused on both our work and on our training. In the Community we have some courses available to help you transition to working from home and this week in our blog we question some of the underlying factors that ensure individuals can feel engaged and involved in the training process.
If you’re doing a lot of digital transitioning here’s some more resources to help you on your way:
- The ultimate instructor’s guide to moving training online
- Building learning communities
- Social tools
- Academy course on seminars
- Webinar on demand on seminars
- How to run an engaging webinar
