We are all fighting the same uphill battle—making corporate training engaging and sticky so employees apply it long after the session is over. An under-utilized tactic to achieve this goal is using microlearning principles combined with innovative technology to make your training more compelling and fun for your learners, and yield results that prove learning is retained and applied. 

In this talk, we will discuss best practices in creating microlearning and reinforcement programs that allow employees to consume training in the flow of work. We will also detail how this learning format provides measurable results and sustained behavior change. 

This interactive session will provide easy-to-understand insights on: 

  • Microlearning best practices 
  • Using learning technology to create lasting behavior change 
  • Measuring corporate learning success
