Learners’ attention is guaranteed to wander if they are made to sit through training that serves no purpose or is irrelevant to their jobs. Although many businesses erroneously believe that educating large numbers of employees using a “one-size-fits-all” approach and imposing it on them is effective, role-based training may be a more effective strategy.  

A varied set of abilities and areas of expertise are required for each position in a corporation. Some eLearning may apply to the entire organization; however, most eLearning that is skills-based or focused on technical information only applies to a single department or a smaller portion of the firm’s personnel. If you haven’t observed an employee successfully applying the knowledge and skills they’ve gained in training within the context of their actual job role; there is simply no way to determine whether training is having the desired effect on an employee, either during training or after training. Role-based training is the ideal method for accomplishing this seemingly insignificant but crucial task.
