Brightwave explores the four core components of total learning and demonstrates how learning can transform onboarding

BrightWave invited to attend a conference given by its Chairman Charles Gould at the 2015 CIPD Learning & Development Show. He will explore the four core components of total learning and demonstrates how formal and informal learning can transform onboarding.

 

The conference ‘Total learning - the future is here’ will be held on 14th May (10:45am - 11:15am) at the CIPD L&D Show, London Olympia, Technology for Learning stage.

 

As well as challenging the value of formal, structured learning, L&D is beginning to think more about how informal and social learning - powered by innovative tools and technology - can be enabled to not only benefit learners but reduce staff attrition and associated costs to their organisation.

 

Brightwave's upcoming session at the CIPD L&D show examines how forward thinking organisations are engaging with their learners and retaining their top talent through total learning strategies and tessello, Brightwave's award-winning total learning system.

 

Research concludes that 86% of organisations agree it takes six months for their new employees to decide to stay with the company and yet only 39% of organisations have onboarding programmes that last longer than one month1. With 16% of new starters leaving an organisation ASAP, and a further 40% leaving less than a year into their role2, L&D teams need to get staff on board, support their development and keep them engaged - all at the same time - even faster.

 

A total learning approach to onboarding not only increases employee engagement and provides a faster speed-to-competence, but reduces associated costs to replacing lost staff; engaging and retaining just one employee saves an organisation on average a total cost of £30,6143.

 

Charles Gould, Brightwave's Chairman said:"Retaining just one employee by utilising a total learning approach saves an organisation a substantial amount of money; £30k makes a real difference to any L&D team's bottom line. tessello provides tailored onboarding blends that also reduce the cost of developing new onboarding materials, lowering administration overheads. tessello is an essential onboarding system every forward-thinking organisation should have for their learners; retaining talent is essential, now and in the future."
