1:45 PM How to Identify Real Training Needs — The Do’s and Don’ts of Surveying Your Workforce
HR and Learning leaders are increasingly relied upon to align workforce strategies with business objectives. One primary method for accomplishing this goal is surveying employees to discover gaps in competencies, whether among individual employees or specific teams. Our panel members, will draw upon their business-case experience with surveying their workforce to uncover strengths and weaknesses among their workforce skills. HR records, focus groups, interviews, on-the-job observations and assessments are all tools in the learning officer’s toolbox but not all are appropriate, depending on the situation. Learn how to identify business needs, perform a gap analysis, assess training plans and costs in this practical panel.

6:40 PM HAPPY HOUR DEBATE — Just-In-Time Training: How to Pair Learning with On-The-Spot Resources
The goal of just-in-time training is to provide employees with vital training and learning when they need it most. Instead of relegating training to online courses and scheduled training, a just-in-time training mindset delivers relevant information and skills brush-ups when they are needed most. While the process looks spontaneous, it requires learning leaders to create a detailed road map of what topics to cover and to coordinate their training extensively with managers who can sense when employees need spurts of just-in-time training: In this happy hour debate, learn the importance of:
- Creating a microlearning library of skills that can be deployed just when needed
- Incorporate real world training opportunities that allow employees to put their knowledge into practice
- The “High Adaption for High Adoption” strategy that allows individuals to own their expertise with relevant learning
