Examining the Effectiveness of Corporate E-Learning in Global Talent Management

Abstract

Abstract-The purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of corporate e-learning in the context of talent management on a global scale. It begins with a discussion of the importance of talent management, the challenges in global talent management, and the role of corporate e-learning in global talent management. Data collected via an online survey from 74 students (global leaders from a multinational IT provider with more than 90,000 employees across 50 countries) enrolled in a customized corporate e-learning program is presented and discussed. The findings suggest that corporate e-learning can be used to develop talent attributes and skills such as problem solving, analytical, communication, research, and time management skills. Specifically, analytical, communication, and time management skills are important predictors of overall corporate e-learning experience, while analytical and research skills are important predictors of job performance. As part of global talent management, companies can enroll their A-players, high performers or high potentials into relevant corporate e-learning programs that can be used to effectively address the training challenges of a scattered workforce and improve coordination among internal and outside collaborators and partners in complex business processes and projects. The sample for this study was limited to a multinational IT services provider. Future research should extend the scope of data collection to include talents from a variety of organizations, as well as a variety of geographies and industries to further investigate the generalizability of these findings.

Success Factors for Online Adult Education

Онлайн обучение работающих магистрантов должно быть разработано с учетом принципов обучения взрослых, во избежание сильного чувства изоляции, низкого уровня личного взаимодействия и высокого уровня абсентеизма (Wong & Daniell, 2017). Проблемы онлайн обучения в основном связаны с ограниченным взаимодействием между обучающийся-обучающийся и между обучающийся-преподаватель, неадекватной обратной связью в связи с техническими проблемами и неправильным дизайном материала.…”

“…Среды онлайн обучения с интерактивным контентом не только привлекают работающих студентов, но и облегчают понимание учебного материала (Wong & Daniell, 2017). Идея о том, что процессы обучения взрослых могут отличаться от процессов обучения детей, стала устоявшейся теорией после того, как Ноулз разработал андрагогику, теорию обучения взрослых.…”

Talent management in government organizations: identification of challenges and ranking the solutions to address them

“…Research shows that in organizations that human resource managers are not familiar with TM, it is likely that TM is not used (Horvathova and Miku sov a, 2012). Also, Wong and Sixl-Daniell (2017) explain that in organizations where the human resources department is not familiar with TM, employees feel anxious and stressed when introduced to TM plan.…”

Corporate Training Programs in Russian and Foreign Companies: Impact on Staff and Time Challenges

“…A study by Brown Mackie College employees in Cincinnati and Ashford University in San Diego in the USA to identify the links between e-Learning and performance in two large corporations revealed a negative relationship between employee training and their productivity and quality of work (Wong & Sixl-Daniell, 2017). This means that intensive employee training negatively affects the performance of current work responsibilities.…”
