You may have sat through an extensive training and wondered “why am I learning that?” You’re not the only one who has felt this way. Many corporate and IT professionals share the same sentiment.
The workplace of today is fast-paced. Roles evolve. Tools evolve. Deadlines shorten. Employees simply do not have the time to attend generic training, which teaches all but what they need.
Personalized employee learning is essential. It allows employees to learn faster, remain motivated and develop their skills where they are needed.
We’ll look at the ways in which data, AI and smarter tools are changing learning, and how edForce.co is using them to create relevant, personalized learning experiences for modern teams.
Why personalization is more important than ever
Have you noticed that music apps suggest songs you like? How about shopping apps that show you items that are similar to your style?
The same principle applies to personalized learning.
The traditional training is the same for everyone. People learn in different ways. Some people prefer short videos. Some prefer microlearning in short bursts, while others prefer real-life examples. Engagement drops when learning isn’t matched to the individual.
Recent studies show:
- 71 percent feel disengaged when undergoing generic training (LinkedIn, Workplace Learning 2024).
- Training that is tailored to the individual can result in a 45 percent increase in completion rates (ATD 2023)
- Personalized learning increases employee retention by 30% (Deloitte 2023)
Are you planning to create a culture of learning that works? Start with personalization.
Data and AI shape personalized employee learning
Data and AI quietly monitor learning behavior, performance and preferences. They then create a learning pathway that almost feels custom-made.
Here’s a quick breakdown.
1. Skill Gap Identification
AI analyzes performance data, job requirements, and assessments to identify missing skills.
The system can pinpoint exactly what the employee needs.
Example:
You may have promoted someone to a new position and only realized after three months that they were lacking a critical skill. AI can help prevent this.
2. Adaptive Learning Pathways
The pace of learning is set by the individual.
AI automatically adjusts the difficulty level based on progress.
Learners who are fast learners will move ahead.
Other people receive extra support.
3. Behavior Based Content Suggestions
Some people prefer bite sized content. Some people learn better by doing.
AI is able to detect this and will always recommend the correct format.
Microlearning is a powerful tool. Lessons that are focused and short help busy professionals to learn without consuming their time.
4. Real-Time Performance Feedback
Learners can get instant feedback instead of waiting for days to receive manual reviews.
Instant feedback allows them to learn from their mistakes and improve faster.
5. Predictive Learning Analytics
AI analyzes job trends to predict future skills needs.
It keeps them future-ready and helps to prevent skill gaps from appearing.
Future Insight
In the next three to four years, over 60 percent of all jobs will require digital hybrid skills, such as workflow automation and cloud knowledge (World Economic Forum 2025). All learning platforms will most likely include predictive learning.
