Some LXP platforms are designed to facilitate the acquisition of new skills by employees. Here's how you can promote upskilling with your LXP.
Promote upskilling thanks to the right choice of your platform
The process ofimproving skills is quite complex. Before implementing programs, organizations must conduct an individual and collective audit:
- Which employee needs to improve, and in what areas?
- Where is the skills gap in the organization? Does the company have the capacity to build talent or should it seek it out on the market? What skills does she need to implement her strategy?
To answer these questions, it is necessary to identify and precisely compare existing skills with desired skills. This is where LXPs (Learning eXperience Platforms) come in to promote upskilling.
Offer the right content, at the right time and to the right person
Embedding both artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities, modern LXPs can analyze, classify and recommend the right content to the user, then offering them a personalized journey that meets their needs and fills a possible gap on a specific theme. A real tool to promote upskilling.
The LXP incorporate Machine Learning (ML) algorithms that can adapt to new content and suggest relevant content when users are looking for information. An operation similar to that of online entertainment platforms such as YouTube or Netflix.
LXPs are used to fill strategic skill gaps. The learner and/or the manager identifies a gap or a missing skill and the LXP offers relevant content to fill this gap and promote the upskilling of the employee. The platform will bring together and synthesize a large number of content from sources such as LMS, books saved in the tool's library, paid content found on partner applications, MOOCs, courses with a trainer, certifications or even content created by experts and select the most relevant content for the learner.
The influence of learning on performance and well-being at work
Modern learning platforms make it easy to track learning in the workflow. This information allows companies to correlate learning and improving employee performance. LXP analytics dashboards offer key insights like Return on investment in training, business results or even the links between learning and work performance.
Promoting upskilling makes it possible to have agile employees from diverse backgrounds who are able to adapt constantly and acquire new skills. By implementing these training strategies, businesses can improve employee performance and productivity in order to fill key positions more quickly. It's also a way to retain employees, reduce hiring costs, fill skills gaps, and keep employees motivated — happier and more motivated employees.
LXPs help promote employee upskilling by making learning more relevant for individuals and by managing training programs.
