Due to the global pandemic of COVID19, the decision was made to not proceed with the external training on emotional intelligence and to run online in-house training sessions to keep employees protected and to save company funds during the financial recession that the country faced. Other courses still went ahead that had been planned for but these were all run online. All employees were set up with Zoom accounts were live webinars were run and recorded for later viewing. The training sessions were interactive and Zoom functioned smoothly.
As part of the on going assessment of the organisation’s learning management systems Human Resources has started adding all the learning opportunities that the staff have undertaken over the year to their staff records. They have put these in a spreadsheet for easier evaluation. Additionally all staff are given an annual questionnaire to help assess whether organisational learning targets are being met. You are required to use these documents to assess the success of the organisational learning strategies that you have implemented.
Also the CEO has asked you to review information on grants for skill development as they would like to capitalise on any opportunities for employers to access funding for learning and development. Determine how this could be integrated into the company’s Organisational Learning Strategy.
