Top 5 Ways Online Learning May Help Your Organization

1. Consistent Knowledge Base
Be sure all your personnel are on equal ground so that you can make assumptions of common knowledge. It is less difficult to assign work and manage projects when you know that everybody is aware of how to utilize your business system.

2. Use Distant Employees With Full Confidence
One of the largest difficulties with hiring distant staff is integration. It can be extremely tough to integrate distant workers with the rest of your workforce. Quite often workers are so distant that flying them to a main orientation or training isn't economical. With online learning staff integration is easy because training and instruction is all done online. Distant employees can learn online about everything from distant document storage to standard project workflows.

3. Decrease The Time It Takes Seasoned Employees to Train New Hires
It is expensive to hire employees. Often more than 50% of that employees annual salary. Typically this cost is due to the fact that your best veteran team members have to spend a lot of time mentoring and training instead of working. Moving all of your training and learning online solves a lot of this because online training can be done by anyone anywhere.

4. Expand Knowledge With External Experts
Wouldn't it be great if someone like Jack Welch could come and train your team? Does your board of directors have insights that you would love to share with your larger organization?

If all of your training and education is online it is easy to record quick training sessions and distribute them to your entire organization and new hires. You can also utilize pre-created online learning material with just a click of a mouse.

5. Find More Areas Where Your Team Can Cross-Sell
Many big business sales teams have hundreds of products that they can sell to any one client. Unfortunately, many sales reps get into a groove and understand a handful of products well and stick to those exclusively. This often times means that the sales rep is missing out on a multitude of cross-selling possibilities which can generate real value for your organization. With online learning you can easily create on-demand courses to train sales reps quickly on other services so that they don't have to train themselves.
