Trainers, know your place! |
 London
(UK), November 2009 - (by Bob Little) IMC (UK) Learning Ltd has
revealed research that looks at the barriers organisations encounter when
providing training/learning. It also reveals attitudes towards adopting
eLearning tools, as well as organisations’ current use of new and emerging
technologies for training. The research shows that 83% of respondents agree
that enabling employees to learn is very important and say their
organisations have defined training systems in place. Some 32%, however,
agree that employees have little, if any, time for organised learning as
they are too busy working for the survival of the business.
