Overview
The world of work is faster paced than ever before. There's so much going on that people can't remember everything and it's harder than ever to find the time to attend formal training courses.
Learning in the workflow means that people do not have to step away from their work to learn. Instead, they 'pull' the learning or support that they need and use it inside their work. Organisations are increasingly turning to workflow learning to provide high-quality resources to help improve and support performance and get a better return on their L&D investment.
Now, more than ever, it's essential to be able to provide solutions that employees can use to support and improve their performance without leaving their workspace.
