Leading Practices for Remote Learning During COVID-19 | Deloitte US has been saved
Posted by Michael Griffiths, Julie Hiipakka, and Elam Lantz on March 19, 2020.
The coronavirus outbreak is resulting in an ever-increasing list of companies, conferences, and other engagements to turn to remote learning. For some organizations that already leverage remote learning, this may not be a significant change. But for others who rely on face-to-face collaboration, in-person knowledge sharing, or management by proximity, providing learning opportunities virtually may not come naturally.
To be able to thrive, many organizations and their workers need to work and learn in a different way. How can organizations rapidly pivot?
A few methods can help organizations rapidly switch gears to transition to a remote learning environment. This is an opportunity to build critical virtual collaboration capabilities within workforces as many adjust to the “new normal” of virtual work and learning.
