The report is based on a survey with 150 business leaders and&#13;<br \/>\n300 employees across industries in Singapore, and interviews with human&#13;<br \/>\nresource experts. <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In&#13;<br \/>\nparticular, employees between the ages of 30 to 39 are the most likely to&#13;<br \/>\nexperience online fatigue (63%). This is followed by those between the ages of 16&#13;<br \/>\nto 29 (59%), and 40 to 54 (48%). Employees above 55 years old are the least&#13;<br \/>\nlikely to experience online fatigue when it comes to training (41%). <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>To&#13;<br \/>\ntackle this, employers say that exploring new methods of conducting training&#13;<br \/>\ncan overcome challenges posed by remote working arrangements and to increase&#13;<br \/>\nemployee engagement. The top three methods voted by employers are to &#8216;change the training&#13;<br \/>\napproach to adapt to remote learning&#8217; (50%), &#8216;try out more innovative methods&#13;<br \/>\nof training&#8217; (47%) and &#8216;adapt new technology platforms&#8217; (39%). <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Many&#13;<br \/>\nemployers view that remote workplace arrangements are disruptive to implement&#13;<br \/>\neffective employee training (39%), and COVID-19 restrictions continue to be a&#13;<br \/>\nchallenge to training (37%). Therefore, most (78%) reveal that their companies&#13;<br \/>\nare planning to improve training programmes offered to better adapt to the&#13;<br \/>\ntransformed workplace. <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The report also uncovered that two&#13;<br \/>\nthirds of employees (68%) prefer to attend company provided instructor-led&#13;<br \/>\nprogrammes, regardless of whether it is conducted face-to-face (37%) or&#13;<br \/>\nvirtually (31%). This is in comparison to only 6% that voted for pre-recorded&#13;<br \/>\nonline training programmes as a preferred mode of learning. <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Commenting on the findings, NTUC LHUB&#8217;s Strategy&#13;<br \/>\nDirector, Soh Hooi Peng, says, &#8220;As COVID-19 hits its second-year mark,&#13;<br \/>\nonline fatigue is becoming a prominent problem that causes burnout in&#13;<br \/>\nemployees, thereby posing a challenge not only to their work but also their&#13;<br \/>\nlearning and development. To combat this, learning must evolve alongside the&#13;<br \/>\nfuture of work. We must explore and constantly develop new modes of training&#13;<br \/>\ndelivery to develop and engage the workforce. At NTUC LHUB, we will continue to&#13;<br \/>\nwork with companies to explore adult learning trends in order to transform the&#13;<br \/>\nlearning experience of lifelong learners\u00a0to keep them motivated in terms&#13;<br \/>\nof continuous learning and upskilling.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00ad\u00adTo&#13;<br \/>\ndownload the Workforce Learning in Workplace Transformation report, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ntuclearninghub.com\/workforce-learning-2021\">https:\/\/www.ntuclearninghub.com\/workforce-learning-2021<\/a>.&#13;<br \/>\nTo find out more about the courses, training and grants, contact NTUC LHUB at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ntuclearninghub.com\/\">https:\/\/www.ntuclearninghub.com\/<\/a>.&#13;\n<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.media-outreach.com\/news\/2021-12-14\/110749\/online-fatigue-puts-a-damper-on-workforce-upskilling-efforts\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over half&#13; of employees (53%) say that they experience &#8216;online fatigue&#8217; when it comes to workplace&#13; upskilling during COVID-19.
