Unboxed

Association eLearning

You fell and hurt your arm. X-rays reveal that it’s broken, and you’re in a lot of pain. What would you think if the doctor gave you pain medication and sent you home, without doing anything else?

3 Shocking Facts About Knowledge Retention

Docebo

Employees forget up to 50% of what they learned within an hour. One of the biggest obstacles preventing L&D effectiveness is an employee’s ability to retain knowledge that is critical to their job.
