Abstract

With the growing number of professionals working from home and being connected virtually the need for online training has grown into a much needed necessity for many organizations. Electronic or online based training development, provides a means to strengthen a workforce in a way that can reach many in a time when social distancing is a mandated practice. The need for customized training and continuous improvement in our workforce warrants the need for many employers to consider investing more attention in this area. This project focuses on a training program that closed the gaps for one organization that included onboarding new employees as well as refresher training for existing employees to remain vigilant in their field of profession. After codification of this online specialized training it was found that there was a profound impact on the knowledge base of employees and sustained lasting retention rates over a controlled amount of time during the projects timeline. This online training initiative has proven to be an overall successful technological advance in the realm of initial and sustainable training for this test group. In my attempt to maximize engagement and interaction between instructor and employee I have provided a blueprint in building a structured training program that can meet the needs of today’s online workforce.
