Using E-Learning effectively for soft skill training in a workplace


To use elearning effectively for soft skills training, you’ll want to:

  1. Use a mistakes-driven approach – To lessen fear of failure, help people ID exactly where they went wrong and remedy it, and simulate real-world consequences.
  2. Use scenarios as the basis – So people can see what they’ve learned and then practice. Make sure you use realistic, real-world situations common in your workplace. Even better, make them applicable to that person’s particular job and tasks.
  3. Make it fun – Create engaging, interactive sessions that you yourself would enjoy doing. Allow the learner to lead and make decisions. That can only increase buy-in.

Here’s why the whole issue is crucial to your company’s success: employees with well-developed soft skills handle stressful conflicts with finesse, see the bigger picture, play well with others and work productively on teams. In short, they can problem-solve, strategize and innovate—and elevate your business to the next level.
