Ah, the model employee. You know the type – they’re the first to volunteer when something needs doing and the last to complain if it means working a little late. But, what happens when good employees go bad? Are your most reliable and efficient workers starting to miss deadlines or make mistakes on reports and client deliverables? Are they suddenly coming in late and leaving early?

I was in Girl Scouts when I was younger. And I have clear memories of the merit badge book. Each badge required me to do something different to earn it. Looking back, that book offered a lot of choices. I could pick which badge I wanted to work on and choose the activities that sounded best to me. Then I remembered that many organizations don’t offer their learners that choice.

The hiring industry is continually evolving. If we compare the scenarios of the past to the present, we can find an increase in competition in the overall industry. Nearly 250 resumes are attracted on an average by any job opening. In these resumes, more than half are rejected by the Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS). Just as you might know, these systems are automatic, and they only select people with the right keywords.

Faster than ever, the world is shifting and shaping how people work, exposing and creating deep skill divides across industries and around the world. As a result, business and HR leaders are scrambling to “upskill” employees. If you’re scrambling to upskill your employees but don’t know where to start, make skills analysis a routine part of your decision-making process.

The end of the year tends to bring about two predictable behaviors: reflection and prediction. We take the opportunity to look back on what we’ve accomplished and use this information to project into the future and determine where we should go next. This is especially true for writers. In December, we are typically commissioned to write two posts: a “best of” and a “what’s going to be hot.

Two Things at Once - AT&T TV Commercial 2013 In the AT&T commercial above, a man asks a group of children, "What's better, doing two things at once or just one?" All the children yell, "Two!" The commercial ends with "It's not complicated. Doing two things at once is better." Except AT&T is wrong. It might seem better. But our cognitive abilities are not built to allow us to do two things at once.

There are plenty of great authoring tools for developing eLearning, but the one you select could directly impact your course's outcomes. Depending upon your learners’ needs and your organization’s performance goals, you could be overlooking considerations that impact the both effectiveness of your courses and how long it takes to finish them. From general capabilities to specific workflow structures, some aspects are critical when it comes to learning objectives and deadlines.

Sexual Harassment in the Workplace, in the News and in Hollywood. Right now, leaders are in a unique position to radically change their organizations, for the better. The events of the past six months have made it necessary: The accusations against Harvey Weinstein and others, followed by Time Magazine choosing the “Silence Breakers” as its Person of the Year, and the #MeToo movement on social media.

Given my reflections on the past year, it’s worth thinking about the implications. What trajectories can we expect if the trends are extended? These are not predictions (as has been said, “never predict anything, particularly the future”). Instead, these are musings, and perhaps wishes for what could (even should ) occur. I mentioned an interest in AR and VR.

You’re determined to create something more engaging than the same old course that learners quickly click through, but how do you take this “boring” content and create something relevant and engaging?
