The Importance of Learning at the Point of Need

Workplace learning often fails to address the immediate needs of employees, leading to costly skills training that is soon forgotten. Focusing on learning at the point of need allows employees to access resources and guidance as they encounter challenges in real time. This approach contrasts sharply with traditional methods that prioritize 'just in case' training, which may not be relevant when challenges arise. By making learning materials easily accessible during critical moments, organizations can enhance employee performance and retention of skills.
