Will Corporate Training Be Important In 2025?
There are going to be a lot of changes in corporate training now, because generation beta has come to the fore. This generation was born in a world where Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been developed. These are the kids born between 2025 and 2039. Now, gamification will play an essential role in teaching employees. eLearning videos will be prepared using AI technology in 2025.
Use Of AI In eLearning
AI can be used to prepare higher-quality videos for corporate training and no human is involved in producing such videos. AI can create video scripts and prepare videos on them. They can also develop voice-overs. When a company has a restricted budget, there is no money for recording human voice-overs in videos and AI is beneficial. Through generative AI, companies can ensure employees can easily create content for professional writing. They can also tackle customers through chatbots with generative AI. Employees must be well trained in 2025 in using this technology.
There is a difference between AI and generative AI. AI is used for analyzing data, whereas generative AI produces new data by analyzing the old data. Finding patterns in old data can create new data, including music, text, code, and images. AI will also be immensely useful in eLearning because it can get an in-depth analysis of a learner’s progress in an eLearning module and then create progress routes for him. Since AI can recognize the learning patterns, it can ensure learners progress with correct assessments and topics.
Based on the quiz scores of learners, you can make a learner move slowly or fast through an eLearning topic. There will also be use of simulations through Augmented Reality (AR) so that learners can learn more about situations they face at work [2]. 2D simulations can also familiarize learners with what awaits them at work. These are the topics that will take precedence in 2025 in corporate training:
AI In Decision-Making
The leaders now have AI, which they can use for decision-making. The information will be invaluable to them in making strategic decisions because it can recognize the patterns of changed circumstances and let leaders know the best course of action. That’s why companies don’t have any problems coping with any changes because of AI.
Focus On Employees’ Financial And Mental Health
In 2025, there will be a focus on employees’ mental health in corporate training because employers don’t want employees quitting their jobs. Companies are ensuring that there is a proper focus on mental well-being. Employees must be trained in handling stress and taught emotional resilience. Once employees are mentally strong, they can handle challenges, whether it’s in the workplace or at home. Mental health benefits employees because they can grow by balancing their work and personal lives. Once employees are happy at their workplace, absenteeism is reduced and they are likely to grow.
Work-Life Balance
Corporate training in 2025 is about training employees to do their jobs well and be well. So, Learning and Development professionals must include such well-being strategies in eLearning modules. The employees should be given flexible work hours and freedom to choose whether they like to work from home or office. Employees should be able to take time off on their birthdays and anniversaries to spend time with their families. The employees should be trained about balancing life and work so that they don’t feel burnout.
Financial Literacy
Wellness must be a holistic approach for a company. This means that a company’s focus should not be only on the mental health of employees, but also on their financial health. Employees must learn how to manage their budgets. Financial literacy is also helpful for employees because it ensures that they make correct decisions. When employees are taught financial literacy, they don’t cause any harm to their savings and don’t have extraordinary consumption patterns that they can’t afford through their incomes. They don’t take high-interest loans through apps, which can cause them trouble later. They also don’t overspend through credit cards, which have high interest rates. Employees with financial literacy know how to save for the future and attain their goals. They have money saved for rainy days and don’t have to borrow.
When an employee does not have money saved for the future, they can suffer from financial stress, which can deteriorate mental health. They have to be given emergency help like the repayment of education loans for their kids because they are unable to afford any loan. They also have to be provided financial assistance during hardships that can arise when they do not have funds to manage necessary expenses. Hence, by 2025 employers will have to ensure that such needs don’t occur for any employee.
When employees have a nervous breakdown, they must get counseling to go through that phase, which an employer can sponsor. An employee assistance plan (EAP) is the help provided by employers to employees so that they can handle challenges. These can include counseling services and health resources. Employers don’t know which employees avail of these services. An employee has to call the hotline number of the company to apply for these services.
- ESG reporting
Companies must focus on ESG reporting to prove to investors that they care about the environment. This reporting includes the carbon footprint of a company during production. - Employee appreciation
In 2025, management will have to recognize employees because those who are appreciated tend to stay longer in a company. There are many ways to do this. One of them is a wall where the employees’ certificates of excellence can be hung and given to them for the successful completion of certain projects. There can also be events where employees can showcase their skills. Apart from that, success stories should be used in eLearning modules so that employees can gain inspiration from those who have benefitted from the course. In 2025, Augmented Reality will become a part of eLearning. In this way, employees can be trained to operate machinery better.
