Opportunities such as learning and development are really important for your employees, but it is more challenging to synchronize them since workforce this period are working partially or entirely remote. Internal training and conference are expensive and sometime ignored by contractual or seasoned employees, or sometimes employees are reluctant to attend virtual options and they prefer in-person training.

Companies are forced to reevaluate how they offer workforce development, just to save money and COVID 19 quarantines. Companies believe that Virtual/Online training can be effective if some work is done on the backend.

According to Gallup, and what others recommended, was to have “a mix of synchronous and asynchronous role training to build onboarding, cohort camaraderie, while providing enough flexibility to absorb self-paced learning.”
2. Creating engaging course content – a course that should be engaging and employee will force to do something they don’t want to do.
3. Assist and support your workforce development initiative that works remotely – support and open communication from higher leader should be needed for workforce development initiative to ensure employee goals. 
4. Provide networking opportunities - companies make certain that employees have access to networking opportunities in remote environments.
