If one of your biggest problems with e-learning at the moment is getting people to actually use it, you are not alone. Whether the e-learning courses are mandatory to meet legislation, generic off-the-shelf, or even custom created for your particular industry, organisations throughout the UK are finding difficulty in increasing usage and encouraging learners. If it is your job to manage learning and development in your organisation, you’ll always need to do that little bit extra to promote e-learning courses, or they will end up seeming unnecessary, and where does that leave you?

The benefits of e-learning
In today’s struggling economy you would have to have been living under a very comfortable rock not to be aware of all the desperate attempts to prove that ventures have extra value for money, and continuous return on investment. With this in mind, we would like to take this opportunity to shamelessly promote e-learning as a solution that ticks both of these boxes, amongst others, and provides a long term visible result as it evolves.
Apart from the obvious benefits around ‘anywhere, anytime’ learning, as well as being able to complete your training at your own pace, e-Learning has several benefits at every level.

When Ordinary E-Learning is Nothing Personal
For everybody who currently owns a smartphone, regardless of operating system, we all know the feeling of that first moment when we take it out of its box and excitedly think of all the apps we want to download to personalise it, so that it is an extension of our own personality. The same can be said with brand recognition within a company. Ask yourself, when you are writing an official letter, do you feel more, or less, official using the company letterhead? Do you hand out your contact details scrawled across a napkin, or do you have business cards with a logo and company colours so people can make the association between you and your company?

Personal Safety in Today’s Workplace
Are we as a nation more fearful than we used to be? Well, the answer seems to be “Yes”.
A recent survey by the Mental Health Foundation found that 77% of people in the UK believe people in general are more frightened and anxious than they used to be. This is a disturbing figure, all the more so given the well established links between fear, anxiety, stress and other mental health issues.
Research has identified many potential reasons for this more fearful society, but one that affects most people is the belief that modern culture is more violent – that people are more willing to resort to violence and see it as an acceptable strategy for achieving their objectives.

Can Organisations Afford to Ignore E-learning?
In any economic situation employee development and skills building remain an essential requirement for success. But how can we avoid the inevitable reduction in the training budget being viewed by staff negatively. Does reducing the training budget always mean that lower quality training opportunities are on offer?
In today’s economic climate of huge savings having to be sourced from public sector and the knock on effect that has on the private sector, can any organisation afford to ignore the benefits of e-learning in their training and development strategy?
E-learning has been embraced by thousands of companies in the UK, all hoping to create a blend of options available to staff. Most organisations that are experiencing huge success with e-learning are those who have deployed it as part of the wider business strategy.
