The Challenges of Traditional Corporate Training
Corporate training, in its traditional form, is no longer effective—or sustainable. It places a heavy burden on both the teams providing the training and the employees expected to learn from it.
Challenges for the Trainer / Company
High production costs: Courses are expensive to buy or outsource
Time-consuming: Internal teams often lack the time to build and maintain training
Challenges for the Learners
Overly long courses: Dense text and lengthy presentations reduce engagement
Low knowledge retention: Most content is forgotten within days
Limited interactivity: Learners quickly lose interest
Ineffective for complex topics: Difficult procedures are hard to grasp in static formats
Poor fit with busy schedules: Long sessions don’t integrate into the workday
These issues affect not only training outcomes, but also employee satisfaction and retention. According to the 2022 Microsoft Work Trend Index, 76% of employees would stay longer at a company if they had access to better training.
Microlearning vs. E-Learning: What’s the Difference?
To address these challenges, many organizations are turning to microlearning—an agile, digital-first method that delivers short, targeted lessons focused on one specific learning objective.
Unlike traditional e-learning, which often presents structured, content-heavy modules, microlearning breaks training into concise, practical units. Ideal for today’s fast-paced workplaces.
A typical microlearning module lasts 1 to 10 minutes and can include:
A short video
An audio clip
A paragraph of text
An image or infographic
An interactive element like a quiz or flashcard
Why microlearning works
Microlearning is backed by research in cognitive science and educational psychology. It improves focus, understanding, and long-term retention.
Key learning principles it’s built on:
Chunking: Breaks content into smaller, digestible units
Spaced repetition: Revisits key concepts over time to boost memory
Active recall: Encourages engagement through quizzes and exercises
Focused content: One topic per module improves clarity
Self-paced learning: Learners revisit content anytime they need
This method is particularly effective for training where information needs to be chunked, easy to digest, and immediately applicable, such as:
Complex procedures
Software use
Hard and soft business skills
