Effectively Curate Content to Enable Employee Learning
Use third-party content solutions to deliver an effective learning experience.
- In today’s digital age, organizations are inundated with a vast array of external content. With so much information to sift through, curating high-quality, relevant content requires significant time and careful planning, turning what should be an advantage into a potential challenge. Ineffectively curated content leads to high quantity but not a high-quality experience, causing learner confusion and disengagement.
- Dedicating valuable HR time and resources to content curation that remains unused by learners diminishes the impact of learning and development initiatives.

Impact and Result
- Organizations must adopt a strategic approach to finding, filtering, designing, and delivering curated content to better meet the needs of the organization and the learner.
- Beyond curating content effectively, organizations must also regularly assess the content's relevance and alignment with the broader organizational objectives to ensure it remains current and impactful.
