Zoom & Learn
Opportunity Amidst Adversity
The Covid-19 pandemic does have an impact on the technology world, but stakeholders of LMSs’ see the bright side of it. The current pandemic will definitely change the consumers’ approach to Learning Management System (LMS) from “ nice to have” to “ must-have “. Everyone is in the process of developing and enhancing the solution of the Learning Management System (LMS) with Artificial Intelligence and other data science technologies to bring new capabilities to provide consumers real-time, actionable data analytics as per new-age training methodology and learner experience.
Presently, close to 60% of companies are dissatisfied with their LMS, because it is either outdated or it doesn’t meet the HR needs. The future of work is no longer somewhere in the distance. It’s here, right now! There’s never been a more critical opportunity to get the future of work right. Structural changes are rapidly evolving and many HR Leaders have already started to redesign their strategies and their approach related to the workforce and the workplace.
In a dynamic world with constant disruption, we know it won’t be easy. To take the lead and to be successful, the future of HR must demand digital transformations in the workplace. The implementation of an advanced LMS platform does not mean that companies are destined to diminish their relationship with their employees. It is an opportunity to keep showing your employees that you care about their well-being. As an HR, you not only promote the culture of continuous learning, but you can incorporate into practice to demonstrate to employees that you support and appreciate their efforts and contribution to the company.
The story of trust in 2019 is a very important change in the landscape of trust. Trust used to be conveyed from top-down, vertically. Then, about 10 years ago, it started to move to peer to peer, horizontal, through social platforms. According to the Edelman Trust Barometer research, now there has been a tremendous erosion of public trust, and the study found that 75% of workers around the world trust their employers, more than any other institution in their lives. Therefore, in order to retain the same level of trust, every employer has to follow an “ Ethical HR Framework “.
How Are HRs Handling and Fostering the Collaboration?
The HR, we know has always been the back-office payroll department, but now, during these uncertain moments, they are the REAL HEROES and FRONT LINE workers in many ways of a company. As businesses prepare for the continued spread of COVID-19, HR capabilities are being tested. Crisis management and business continuity planning remain the top challenges faced by HR during this COVID-19 outbreak. Remote working is in effect, and it’s very challenging for the HR Department to act quickly and efficiently in creating a workspace and office experience that really fosters employee collaboration.
If you’re looking at doing the best thing during this COVID-19 crisis, we would recommend that you invest most in your people. Your people are the most vulnerable at this point of time because they’re stressed, they’re out of their comfort zone, and they’re looking at how to cope up with the new realities. As being the LMS industry leader, we know that the ability to create office space and office experience online is of paramount importance in this environment. Helping you make this transition has been KloudLearn’s number one priority during these unprecedented times.
Administrators, HR Managers, and Trainers around the world have been thinking for a while now about how to connect with their employees. Many are finding it difficult with the new ways of engaging with their staff away from offices and workplaces. We believe this is the right time to use the web conferencing tool on your LMS platform. Synchronous communication is an integral part of online training and e-Learning. During this current COVID-19 pandemic and also life after the lockdown will not be as smooth without the use of cutting edge technologies.
Enabling virtual meetings, web collaborations, experiential learning, and other integrations will help us transcend lockdowns and create something beautiful and worthwhile. “This is something that’s always been on our roadmap,” says KloudLearn, Co-founder. “It’s something that we’ve been talking about since we launched KloudLearn 3 years ago”. So, in order to quickly collaborate through web conferencing with the team, there are tons of web conferencing tools (Hangouts Meet, Zoom, Webex, etc) available in the market. Out of which, Zoom has been in popular demand by our customers despite all the bad news about the company (link)
Zoom + KloudLearn Gains More Momentum
At the beginning of this year, Zoom was worth less than any of the top 5 airlines in the U.S. By the end of May 2020, Zoom was worth more than all of them combined together.
