The critical role of virtual learning during COVID-19, and how businesses can adapt

As companies around the world postpone face-to-face contact and mandate employees work at home in response to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), virtual workplace learning has become a critical priority for businesses everywhere. McKinsey observes that nearly 100% of in-person programs have been canceled in Europe and parts of Asia through June 2020, and roughly two-thirds of that figure across North America.

Despite the challenges presented by global uncertainty, businesses cannot afford to put capability-building on hold. Whether the goal is to reskill employees or facilitate company-wide transformation, leaders don’t have the option to pause critical learning — even as they rush to put employee safety first.

Please join Coursera’s Senior Director, Anthony Tattersall, Sanofi’s Chief Learning Officer, Celia Berenguer, and Google’s Digital Transformation Practice Lead, Tanushree Gupta, on Tuesday, and HRD on 14th April for a live discussion on:

– Strategic steps that people managers can develop during this time to keep employees motivated and invested in learning
