The Benefits of Mobile Employee Training Software

Today’s workforce is always on the move. If you want your new hire to hit the ground running, be productive and stay engaged, you’ve need to provide them with the tools, education, and information they need to be productive. And what is the best way to do that? The right mobile-first employee training software.

According to the 2015 Training Industryreport, employees spend more than 50 hours per year in training. People are now spending more time on their mobile devices than their desktops. The average person will spend over 3 hours per day on their mobile device. A mobile training solution will engage your employees on their favorite device.

1. Attract and retain talent.

While you can match perks and salary, it’s more difficult to deliver on the intangible reasons why employees stick around, like good rapport with coworkers and an engaging company culture. 59% of HR professionals think that the next few years will involve major competition to retain top-performing candidates. With a training program based in mobile apps, you can showcase your company’s amazing work culture. Stand out from the crowd by implementing a mobile-first training approach, so employees can access your company’s information on their phones, at any time.

2. Engage employees.

Companies with highly engaged employees have 147% higher earnings per share than their competition. Yet, only 30% of the nation’s working population today admits to being fully engaged at work. Make your company’s training better than the rest with a mobile-first approach.

3. Connect management and employees.

The most engaged employees are the ones who have strong connections to their co-workers and managers. In fact, managers account for up to 70% of variance in engagement. So what makes a manager more engaging? According to Gallup, it’s communication. By using custom mobile apps, managers can open up a new line of communication with their employees. Even senior management can communicate to each and every individual employee by using mobile apps to virtually make copies of themselves.

4. Reduce turnover.

When employees leave your company, regardless of whether they’re a bad fit or just moving on, it can negatively impact your bottom line and team morale. In a recent Bersin by Deloitte study, it was found that 4% of new employees quit after a disastrous first day, and 22% of employee turnover occurs in the first 45 days. By engaging your employee from your onboarding process to training to continuous video communication, you can increase engagement and reduce turnover.

“Gallup finds that high levels of employee engagement lead to better performance through fewer quality defects and safety incidents and less shrinkage, turnover and absenteeism.”
