A mid-size company sought to modernize its leadership training program to better meet the needs of its evolving workforce. Pre-2020, all employees worked onsite. However, the world changed and, as countless companies have done, this company adapted by shifting to a hybrid workforce. Over the course of the next two years, it became evident to the leaders of the organization that this shift necessitated a more flexible and accessible training approach in order to effectively train the future leaders of the company.

The company reached out to us, and after doing a deep dive with leadership to understand the concerns and the goals, we developed a comprehensive leadership development program that meets the company’s goals and aligns with the information we learned in our needs assessment phase and rolled it out company-wide.  The solution includes a number of learning modalities, including:

1. Hybrid Learning Model: Based on the needs assessment and the company’s training budget, we recommended a hybrid learning model that combines in-person, virtual, and self-paced online training. This approach caters to the diverse needs of the company’s employees and ensures maximum accessibility, while staying within budget.
2. LMS Implementation: We rolled out our Learning Management System (LMS) to the company to centralize training content, track progress, and facilitate communication. The LMS provides a flexible platform for delivering training modules, facilitating online discussions, and offering personalized learning paths.
3. Customized Training Content: We developed tailored training modules that address the specific challenges and opportunities faced by the company’s hybrid workforce. These modules cover topics such as virtual leadership, remote team management, and fostering a positive company culture in a hybrid environment.
4. Microlearning: To accommodate the busy schedules of remote and hybrid employees, we incorporated microlearning modules into the training program. These short, focused lessons can be accessed on-demand, making it easier for employees to fit training into their schedules.
5. Virtual Workshops and Webinars: We organized virtual workshops and webinars to provide opportunities for live interaction and collaboration among employees, regardless of their location. These sessions cover topics such as effective communication, conflict resolution, and team building.
6. Coaching: We established a coaching program for employees seeking personalized development.

Over a year after implementing the hybrid learning model and personalized training approach, our client has witnessed significant improvements in employee engagement, satisfaction, improved leadership skills, productivity, and company culture. Participants in the program have reported greater engagement and satisfaction with the flexible training options, while their leadership skills, including virtual team management and communication, demonstrated notable growth. The accessible and relevant training empowered the employees to enhance their performance, contributing to overall productivity gains. Moreover, the hybrid model fostered a sense of community and belonging among employees, regardless of their work location, strengthening the company’s culture.

Our client has made this hybrid leadership development program a key part of its overall employee development strategy. We meet periodically throughout the year to evaluate and refine the program to ensure it remains aligned with evolving business needs and continues to deliver exceptional results.
