Skillsof released findings of its survey titled ‘Learning and Development Trends in Asia Pacific’, which provides key insights on learning across organizations in the region, including India. Indian companies surveyed across 20 sectors, cumulatively reported that their organizational budgets over the last two years had increased compared to the tightening of budgets across the rest of the Asia Pacific region. 74% of respondents reported that skills gained from learning programs had a direct positive impact on their work performance; while 81% were able to effectively apply the skills gained from these.
“The report has shown that both decision makers and learners are keen for more learning opportunities, and the elearning market is set to grow,” said Glenn Nott, Vice President and Managing Director, Asia Pacific, Skillsoft. “Decision makers need to evaluate their learning programs to ensure that learner engagement remains high, budgets are worked to suit the diverse needs of learners, and that learning investments are clearly aligned with strategic business goals. Skillsoft is poised to meet the needs of both decision makers and learners with our comprehensive suite of cloud based learning solutions.”
The Skillsoft report identifies three key areas that primarily challenge human resource managers, when evaluating new learning platforms: learner engagement, learning and development budgeting, and measuring learning impact. The research further reports that 86% of learners surveyed in India prefer to access learning on their mobile devices, while only 46% of organizations surveyed in the country provide learners with this option. The other 54% of respondents from organizations, that have deferred the implementation of mobile learning, cited network integrity and security as the prime barriers to adoption.
