Some new corporate training trends have emerged in order to engage employees. First of all the location is changing from a traditional classroom mode to a mix of onsite and online modes. Major amount of technology is being included such as videos to demonstrate best practices. Feedback no longer takes time but gets instantly delivered. Gamification has brought in a sense of fun and freshness to such training sessions. Many are learning new skills while participating in ‘treasure hunts’ or games like “Jeopardy”. The content is seeing change with focus shifting away from information to behavioral aspects. Instead of having single dedicated windows of such trainings, companies are routing them at constant intervals. Training used to be an abstract concept meant for the development of staff. Now it has moved on to being an integral business aspect where a session must instantly convertible to business or monetary gains.
