If there was any doubt that sustainability is an enduring part of the business agenda, now we should put this to rest. Business future is green and sustainability is THE supply system of a successful corporate structure and culture.
To train employees sustainably on sustainability, more HR developers are turning to e-learning and training platforms, such as Empacto. But what synergies can be created through e-learning in terms of sustainability? To find out, it’s worth taking a step back and examining the most insightful reports in the fields of “sustainability” and “e-learning.” By integrating these key learnings and trend analyses, executives and HR professionals can gain valuable and inspiring insights to champion the cause of sustainability through e-learning in their organizations. Here are the most thought-provoking papers I’ve come across recently. You’ll undoubtedly find them as challenging and inspiring as I have:
This report addresses the fundamental question: Why should companies consider investing in sustainability through employee contributions? One thing is certain: It leads to increased financial value. But when companies seek to embed sustainability across all functions, they need education, capacity building, and knowledge sharing, along with a tailored strategy to develop the skills they need. To understand precisely how all of this works, reading the report is essential.
This report is pure gold for those seeking an inspirational CEO guide to bring more sustainability to businesses. It highlights why early movers have a significant advantage and addresses common misconceptions about the immediacy, pace, and extent of change. It also emphasizes that the cost disadvantage is not set in stone and explores strategies for commercializing sustainability.
Despite many pressing issues, almost every organization has felt the impacts of climate change over the past year, and CxOs have been personally affected. The Deloitte Sustainability report reveals that climate change remains a top priority. This gives reason to hope that sustainability issues are no longer dismissed by senior management with excuses like “No time, No priority, No money.”
This report presents a staggering prognosis: Over the next ten years, over a billion jobs will be redesigned, and the half-life of job skills is less than five years. This underscores the importance of creating robust learning communities within an organization, particularly given the increasing prevalence of remote workforces and digital projects. The report explores strategies for strengthening learning communities and fostering collaboration between organizations and EdTech companies.
Are e-learning programs really a sensible business investment? Or are they ultimately nothing more than occupational therapy for employees? This exciting paper takes a closer look at the questions surrounding ROI. Because only those who can measure ROI can also ensure that investments in training and continuing education are really effective and really offer added value for the company.
I particularly like this report from the Corporate Learning Network, because it addresses exactly the gap that Empacto fills. Sure, the future of e-learning in the workplace is hard to predict, despite all the positive trends. But that’s not necessarily because the future always carries an uncertain component. It’s much more due to the fact that e-learning must also be geared to the individual needs and goals of a company. You can read more about how exactly that can look here.
