How to Effectively Engage Employees in an eLearning
Activity“People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing - that's why we recommend it
daily.”- Zig Ziglar
Successful organisations are the ones which adapt
well to the changes in the environment, in other words, they are the “learning organisation”.
The characteristic of a learning organization is
reflected in the attitude of its employees towards change. Success of any transition initiative lies squarely in engaging the employees in learning activities.
Employees and eLearning: The BIG Question
The most difficult part in introducing eLearning in an organisation is the employee acceptance factor. Most employees, who are habituated to one form of learning, resist moving to a new method of learning. So, how can you effectively introduce eLearning to employees?
Here’s something you can try out. Before implementing a successful eLearning program in your organisationeLearning needs to be “sold” to the employees.

Address the Barriers
• Lack of time
• Lack of will
• Lack of confidence
It is also important to create space within the daily schedule for learning.
Fear of failure is one of the impediments in e-learning. Sustained efforts must be taken to allay these apprehensions. Demonstrating the value that accrues to individual learners by way of skill development is a sure path-breaker.

The right starting point would be to research the perceived barriers across the cross section of employees. There may be assorted reasons ranging from
Creating a Learning Culture
A culture of learning must be nurtured in the organization and it should be clearly demonstrated how eLearning benefit employees as well as the organisation. Effective motivation calls for depicting a picture that higher levels of job satisfaction can be achieved through sustained learning.
Motivate Employees
The cardinal principle is to present any eLearning activity as a means to a greater end and not as an end in itself. Often an eLearning activity is perceived among employees as an additional burden, and they come with a ‘What’s In It For Me’ (WIIFM) question.
It’s very important at the initiation stage to communicate the expectations from eLearning and the benefit factor.
Facilitate Learning
As for as the mode of learning is concerned, individual preferences vary. Some do well with a peer group, others with self-study, and still others on a one-to-one approach. Also, the knowledge gap varies from person to person. Effective design and implementation of any eLearning program should factor in these vital issues.
Allowing employees to choose the mode and pace of eLearning within the overall implementation time-frame paves the way for higher degree of success. Self-assessment tools, flexible reporting patterns, and
effective grievance redressal mechanism
