The focus is not to explain everything that is happening within the organization but to paint a picture of what is going on and to let you know that it is an exciting time to join the companyThe goal was to make people feel that this was the right company for them, which in the earliest stages is all about engendering a sense of loyalty, but it is also the bedrock of engagement to ensure that people feel satisfied with their decisionWe had a mentoring programme, and we conducted a learning conference each year focused primarily on bringing ideas from outside Disney at the time18:34 -How is L&D structured in a remote learning setup?When it comes to remote learning, the learning and development teams at all levels within the organization were deluded into believing that the online content would solve problemsThe biggest problem that learning and development professionals have with online learning platforms or remote learning solutions is most people do not use them. The reason is not that they lack knowledge of how to learn online, nor do they lack timeThe primary reason is people are aware that generic content can't deliver value, so there is no point in attempting to do so. We might focus on solving the problem rather than delivering a lot of content. Make sure it’s more engaging, which people want to consume itDavid James's LinkedInFollow us:  Twitter | LinkedInSubscribe: The Digital Adoption ShowLove what you heard? Leave us a review!
