Whether it\u2019s providing feedback to direct reports or telling the punchline to a joke, success often depends on the delivery. The same is true for training.<\/p>\n

Figuring out which delivery method will be most successful for a particular training program is no easy task. Training Top 100 Hall of Fame organization Deloitte LLP developed its \u201cright use guidelines\u201d to inform the experience design process, in which modality selection is driven by outcomes (business and performance objectives and\/or desired capabilities); content and the right type of learning experience; and audience needs, preferences, and constraints. (For more information, download the latest Training Top 100 Hall of Fame white paper, \u201cTraining Beyond the New Normal,\u201d<\/a> and listen to the May 7 Training Top 100 Insights<\/a> virtual event recording featuring five Hall of Fame panelists, including Graham Johnston, leader, Talent Development, Strategy, and Innovation at Deloitte LLP.

With data from more than 75 million users, the Cornerstone People Research Lab uncovered that the average time spent globally online learning is now\u00a0three times higher than it was one year ago, just a few months after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Cornerstone customers such as Clif Bar and BNP Paribas saw spikes of\u00a0198 percent and 235 percent, respectively, in self-directed online training hours.<\/p>\n

From March through May 2020, Cornerstone saw a\u00a0five times spike\u00a0in online learning, primarily focused on COVID-19-related courses such as those covering remote work, personal health, productivity, and technology. Following the murder of George Floyd, from July through October 2020, Cornerstone witnessed a\u00a0six times spike\u00a0in online learning focused on critical Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I) topics such as unconscious bias, microaggressions, and working with multicultural teams.<\/p>\n

More recently, from November 2020 through January 2021, there has been a renewed surge in learning content for remote work, spanning a mix of topics, from \u201cAgile & Scrum 101\u201d and \u201cMicrosoft Teams for Beginners\u201d to \u201cWhat Is Emotional Intelligence?\u201d and \u201cEffective Writing Modules.\u201d (To learn more, read the latest\u00a0Cornerstone blog<\/a>.)<\/p>\n
