Use Mobile Apps to Minimize Employee Training Hassles

The issue of employee training is enough for a business owner to spend 3-4 sleepless nights before the big day. The biggest challenge is to arrange a training co-ordinator who is ready to take this daunting task, as he has to herd his trainees and push them into one room before distributing pen, paper, notebooks, course material and other important stuffs. First 2 hours of the first day are wasted in this pursuit. Then, comes the lecture session where he has to speak whole day, leading through examples, become a role model and guiding the students trying to understand the basics of the training session.

However, by using mobile enterprise apps or mobility concept in the training session, these efforts can be cut into half. By proper implementation of mobility, a boring training session can be converted into a lively learning experience. You can use animation, interactive displays that grab the attention spontaneously. Businesses can seriously think about moving from traditional PowerPoint presentations and gigantic projectors to cute little mobile apps. Such apps are capable of digging deep into the company's database to extract information like recent earnings, older records etc. and display the timeline of a company's growth, profit, gain and achievements. These apps can bring a new zeal in the so-called boring training session by bringing everything on an animated and interactive screen of smart phones of every trainee.

This is not the end of this topic as having an interactive training program is just the first step. Employees are getting technically advanced every single day and they love to see how they are progressing while training session. Games or quizzes that revolve around that particular training program can be included in these training apps. I can visualize a game integrated in an app that makes trainees to compete virtually by correctly identifying the parts of machinery. These games can also involve corporate trainers and CEO and give them an opportunity to show the skills that make them best among the rest. Most companies have video presentations for training purposes and learning from them can be simplified, if they are embedded into an app and released on trainees' smart devices.

These apps can also track progress on viewing each of the video or training programs. On the other hand, the training coordinator can prepare fresh content and push it in the app to keep it updated. They will keep you informed about whether the trainees are getting the necessary training course material and keep track of those who have not finished their training yet. You can notify such trainees via pushing a notification towards their phones. It will also allow the coordinator to record the audit log of the trainee's progress and completion of various exams. By using these apps, trainees can interact more mutually with each other and with training coordinator as well. A training coordinator can send notifications and create cooperative learning sessions where trainees would learn on a virtual white board, put questions and get replies spontaneously. These mobile apps would actually make you "Mobile" as trainees will no longer have to pass their day in a boring classroom. You can ask them to download this application and learn at their own pace in an environment that suits them best.

Mobile apps can simplify a training process and convert it into a pleasurable experience not only for the trainees but also for training coordinator. The trainees will learn in their own environment, a trainer would teach in his own environment, and amidst this, mobile apps would make sure that these dissimilar poles stay in close coordination all the time.
