Are you ready for all the new employees you will soon hire?

I imagine we all are looking forward to the end of this recession and grow the top line again.

The National Association for BusinessEconomics (NABE) reported yesterday that hiring and capital spending will increase over the next six months.

NABE reported in its Industry Survey that demand in Q3 2009 increased for the first time in five quarters, while the number of companies adding jobs doubled from July 2009 to October 2009.

The questions are: Are you ready for this?
Do you have the tools to support the training of your new hires?

Corporations are recognizing the need to retain new employees and enable them to more quickly achieve productivity in their new capacity and environment.


This has resulted in the adoption of formalized“onboarding” programs. In a research piece by the Aberdeen Group,results determined that the best-in-class onboarding enterprises realize a:

· 100% improved retention rates of new hires
· 60% reduced time-to-productivity for new hires
Moreover, best-in-class onboarding companies are 35% more likely to have a formal onboarding training program and twice as likely to clearly define the performance metrics assigned to their onboarding efforts. The Aberdeen Group further identifies that socialization is primary part of the onboarding efforts and that onboarding starts before a new hires first day on the job.

Collaborative learning, cost savings and an environmentally friendly education distribution system our eLearning 2.0 and mLearning platform provides are just some of the benefits of TOPYX®. Our eLearning 2.0education distribution technologies are paving the way in creating innovative solutions to meet the needs of today’s learner.

Interactyx, the developer of TOPYX®, is at the forefront of developing eLearning and social networking solutions that engage and facilitate knowledge-sharing activities with learners.

Social networking is exploding – is it part of your learning scheme?

In a recent survey by Nielsen NetView, Americans are spending 83% more time on social networking sites vs. last year at home and at work. It is becoming increasingly obvious that the use of social networking is becoming part of the fabric of everyday life. I can go and find the same type of stats on the growth in usage on smartphones.

So, if we can stipulate that social networking AND smartphones have changed how we do so many things in life, it is not too far of a leap of faith to build this huge phenomena into one’s learning scheme – at the corporate offices or academic institutions.

Interactyx is underwriting a series of Webinars to show you how an integrated social networking and mobile learning can improve the learning experience. Learners will be more engaged and willing to participate in an interactive learning platform that supports and promotes the fact that knowledge is socially instructed, and how we can extend that experience to smartphones.
I encourage you to sign up, participate and listen to our one of our Webinars; you can see our current schedule at: http://www.interactyx.com/interactyx-2.

Collaborative learning, cost savings and an environmentally friendly education distribution system our eLearning 2.0 and mLearning platform provides are just some of the benefits of TOPYX. For more information, blogs, forums, videos and even test driving TOPYX, please go to www.interactyx.com.

If Content is King, Platform is Queen…

I am sure you heard the phrase "content is king". If that is true, then the platform is queen. What good is it to view the new Star Trek movie on a black and white television set. The content will never realize its full potential without the right platform.

Last week, we announced our partnership with SkillSoft plc where we would provide SkillSoft content on our TOPYX platform. We are very excited about this partnership. Why?

We provide our customers with a comprehensive solution to their eLearning needs. By teaming up the largest eLearning content provider in the world, we are able to provide customers a broad array of relevant content on a fully integrated learning platform. A true turnkey solution.

The old style of digitized content and boring legacy learning management systems are not relevant, as black and white television sets are not relevant. As technology has evolved to hi-def televisions, so must your eLearning platform.

TOPYX is the right platform for eLearning in today's world. It engages, interacts, and collaborates – both learner and instructor alike. Combine that with the content we can provide with SkillSoft, it is a winning combination.

And what would a king be without his queen…

Collaborative learning, cost savings and an environmentally friendly education distribution system our eLearning 2.0 and mLearning platform provides are just some of the benefits of TOPYX. For more information, blogs, forums, videos and even test driving

“What are you twelfth man on the deal team – last to know?” -- Gordon Gekko

“What are you twelfth man on the deal team – last to know?”

Gordon Gekko
1987

Ever feel sometimes that you don’t get the joke? I wonder if that sometimes happening with respect to eLearning. Cego Group, Europe’s largest learning and development company, recently completed a survey that showed employees wanted more eLearning (by 25%) and eLearning 2.0 (by 33%) (eLearning 2.0 is built around collaborative learning, using Web 2.0 tools such as blogging, forums, shoutboxes, etc). In addition, 75% of employees want more peer training and learning – social learning.

Which led me to thinking about some memorable quotes from one of my favorite movies - Wall Street…

Gordon Gekko asked Bud Fox http://www.entertonement.com/clips/27561/Wall-Street/Michael-Douglas/Gordon-Gecko/Twelfth-Man-on-the-Deal-Team “What are you twelfth man on the deal team – last to know.” Do you think the HR function is getting it? Is HR always the last to learn?

The good news is that we are talking to a lot of organizations that are getting it. That’s why they are exploring how eLearning 2.0 tools with social networking, integrated with traditional learning management functionality.

But some are not. Another great Gekko line comes to mind: http://www.entertonement.com/clips/72725/If-You-Are-Not-Inside-You-Are-Outside “If you’re not inside, then you’re outside, ok?” OK.

How can this be? Why is HR behind the curve? Is it generational?

As CEO, the question I would ask my head of HR – do you have a Facebook™ page? Over 200 million do... Which means many, if not most, of your employees or students do. If your HR head does not have a Facebook page, ask and ensure they are considering relevant collaborative eLearning tools that are on the market today.

In our marketing material, which you can review at http://www.interactyx.com/download-eLearning-topyx-brochures, we refer to research that shows that corporate learners, especially Generation X and Generation Y – are demanding eLearning tools that products, such as TOPYX™.

My last Gordon Gekko quote (promise - at least in this blog): http://www.entertonement.com/clips/27569/Wall-Street/Michael-Douglas/Gordon-Gecko/This-Is-Your-Wake-Up-Call “This is your wake up call pal. Go to work.” Listen to what the staff (and Gordon Gekko) is saying.

Can you afford to live in an eLearning 1.0 world?

Can you afford to live in an eLearning 1.0 world?

In arguably one of the most trying times to lead organizations of all types, leaders must still lead.

In this week's magazine's cover story Game Changing Ideas for Business, it discusses how leading companies such as Cisco, Accenture and Deloitte are using collaboration to stay competitive.

“Companies are tapping…innovative collaboration tools and social networks to speed up productivity and decision making.”

http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/09_12/b4124030837359_page_2.htm

Enterprises of all sizes should be embracing collaboration at all levels now.

Is there a better way to get your organization to embrace collaboration is to train and educate them with learning tools with integrated social networking tools? From before a new employee joins the team via onboarding tools to working on new initiatives, use eLearning 2.0 and tools that truly support collaborative learning to energize your new hire and reduce time-to-productivity.

Check out Interactyx Limited, the developer of TOPYX™.
