While employee onboarding, especially for new graduates, is an integral process to enhance their engagement, many of the organizations are not fully satisfied with its effectiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Elearning has been gathering attention as a method of employee onboarding. We explore the reasons, the effectiveness, and countermeasures in this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"toc\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-heading__l\">Background<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"871\" height=\"457\" src=\"https:\/\/learningbox.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/blog\/en\/en_new_employee_training_e_learning_01.jpg\" alt=\"blog\" class=\"wp-image-96658\" srcset=\"https:\/\/learningbox.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/blog\/en\/en_new_employee_training_e_learning_01.jpg 871w, https:\/\/learningbox.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/blog\/en\/en_new_employee_training_e_learning_01-300x157.jpg 300w, https:\/\/learningbox.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/blog\/en\/en_new_employee_training_e_learning_01-768x403.jpg 768w, https:\/\/learningbox.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/blog\/en\/en_new_employee_training_e_learning_01-18x9.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 871px) 100vw, 871px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Demand for the use of elearning in employee onboarding is increasing for many organizations. According to the article by eLearning Industry, more than 41.7% of global Fortune 500 organizations utilize elearning platforms to train their employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">References: <a href=\"https:\/\/elearningindustry.com\/facts-and-stats-that-reveal-the-power-of-the-elearning-sector\" data-type=\"URL\">Facts And Stats That Reveal The Power Of The eLearning Sector<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the reasons for the increasing adoption rate of e-learning is that the spread of COVID-19 has made it difficult to conduct group training that requires face-to-face interaction. With many companies introducing teleworking, the characteristics of e-learning meet the need to conduct new employee training in a non-contact manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another factor is the widespread use of smartphones and tablet devices. elearning allows learners to view courses anytime, anywhere, at any time, as long as the administrator uses a learning management system (LMS) to deliver the courses.<br>Elearning is increasingly being used for employee onboarding because of the ease of use, even when the new hire lives far away from home.<\/p>\n\n\n  <a href=\"\/en\/column\/blog-e-learning\/\" class=\"relatedArticle__hover\">\n\t  <div class=\"relatedArticle\">\n      <div class=\"relatedArticle__thumbnail\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/learningbox.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/blog\/en\/en_e_learning_00-1.jpg\" alt=\"thumbnail (i.e. miniature image)\">\n      <\/div> \n      <div class=\"relatedArticle__content\">\n        <div class=\"relatedArticle__title\">\n          <p>Elearning Stimulates Paradigm Shift in Education<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"relatedArticle__excerpt\">\n          <p>Elearning is an educational system utilizing the Internet. In this article, we will explain why elearning has become so popular, including its features and advantages as well as disadvantages.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"arrow-16 f-16\"><\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/a>\n\n\n\n<a class=\"for_mokuji\" href=\"#toc\">Back to Contents<\/a>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-heading__l\">Advantages of Elearning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"871\" height=\"457\" src=\"https:\/\/learningbox.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/blog\/new_employee_training-e_learning_02.jpg\" alt=\"blog\" class=\"wp-image-96659\" srcset=\"https:\/\/learningbox.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/blog\/new_employee_training-e_learning_02.jpg 871w, https:\/\/learningbox.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/blog\/new_employee_training-e_learning_02-300x157.jpg 300w, https:\/\/learningbox.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/blog\/new_employee_training-e_learning_02-768x403.jpg 768w, https:\/\/learningbox.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/blog\/new_employee_training-e_learning_02-18x9.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 871px) 100vw, 871px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are wondering how to conduct effective employee onboarding, we recommend using elearning. Discover the advantages of using elearning for employee onboarding, from the perspective of both new hires and managers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-heading__m\">For New Hires<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-heading__s\">Higher Knowledge Retention<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Employee onboarding, especially for new graduates, tends to be difficult to learn all of the content in a single training session, as it often covers a wide range of areas all together in a short period of time. In general, they learn business manners, compliance, logical thinking, business skills as well as legal knowledge and specialized skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By using elearning, trainees can study repeatedly at their own pace. Even if they did not fully understand or have forgotten the content, it allows them to learn appropriate materials again and again, which helps them to consolidate their knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For repetitive learning, we recommend choosing a system that supports videos and quizzes. Since such content encourages them to take a course without awareness, it is expected to improve the effectiveness of the training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-heading__s\">Self-Paced Learning<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the biggest advantages of elearning is self-paced learning. It allows learners to optimize their learning without feeling rushed or anxious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While elearning has the advantage written above, face-to-face classroom training requires a venue to get together, and new hires need to follow the trainer and the schedule even though they do not understand the content. This may result in knowledge gaps between trainees, and some trainees may feel overwhelmed through the training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-heading__s\">Develop Self-Study Habits<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As people enter the workforce and become busy with work, they tend to have fewer opportunities for continuous study. Regardless of acquiring a qualification, it is difficult to make a habit like school days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the other hand, introducing elearning will encourage employees\u2019 constant learning opportunities. If the training program offers effective curriculums to develop a habit of self-learning, self-improvement can be expected even after the program is completed, leading to human resource development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-heading__m\">Advantage for Managers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-heading__s\">Effective Time Management for Training Preparation<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Elearning allows managers or those who are in charge to save time to prepare for employee onboarding. While traditional classroom training requires a variety of tasks including arranging instructors and reserving meeting rooms, elearning  makes it possible to start training using existing content or videos. This will result in reducing the burden of trainers including managers who are busy working on their day to day tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-heading__s\">Easy Learning Tracking<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another advantage of elearning for employee onboarding is easy learning tracking online. Managers can check each trainee\u2019s progress record, and give some feedback to them depending on their scores. If their progress is behind schedule, it will be effective to show an alert to their learning screen. Thus, elearning is expected to reduce managers\u2019 workload while enhancing trainees\u2019 engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n  <a href=\"\/en\/column\/blog-new-employee-trainin-purpose\/\" class=\"relatedArticle__hover\">\n\t  <div class=\"relatedArticle\">\n      <div class=\"relatedArticle__thumbnail\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/learningbox.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/blog\/en\/en_new_employee_trainin_purpose_00.jpg\" alt=\"thumbnail (i.e. miniature image)\">\n      <\/div> \n      <div class=\"relatedArticle__content\">\n        <div class=\"relatedArticle__title\">\n          <p>Building Effective Employee Training Programs<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"relatedArticle__excerpt\">\n          <p>The purpose of conducting training for new hires is to increase their awareness as members of society and to help them acquire basic business manners and skills.

The following will be a big help to maximize the effectiveness of elearning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-heading__m\">Blended Learning<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There may be some employees who have a passive attitude to learn something. While the advantages of elearning are immense, it is true that elearning is highly related to their engagement. Nowadays, blended learning is becoming popular. Not only elearning but also practical training including role-playing, group discussion and on-the-job training will be effective to enhance their engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-heading__m\">Active Communication<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Traditional face-to-face classroom learning allows learners naturally to have active communication with others. On the other hand, when utilizing an elearning system, managers need to make some efforts to improve opportunities for trainees to communicate with other trainees since the method tends to focus on self-learning. Take advantage of its internal chat or comment function to enhance their commitment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-heading__m\">Create a Learning Environment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Elearning requires an Internet connection and digital devices. When implementing elearning for training, each company will need to provide a learning environment including setups. In some cases, it may be required to make rules to lend devices or reduce data storage for downloading digital content and lectures.<\/p>\n\n\n  <a href=\"\/en\/column\/blog-e-learning-enterprise-4-kinds\/\" class=\"relatedArticle__hover\">\n\t  <div class=\"relatedArticle\">\n      <div class=\"relatedArticle__thumbnail\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/learningbox.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/blog\/en\/en_e_learning_enterprise_4_kinds_00.jpg\" alt=\"thumbnail (i.e. miniature image)\">\n      <\/div> \n      <div class=\"relatedArticle__content\">\n        <div class=\"relatedArticle__title\">\n          <p>Four types of e-Learning for companies\u2502Tips for choosing the right one and effective operation<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"relatedArticle__excerpt\">\n          <p>There are many different types of eLearning for companies, depending on how the content is delivered and the field of training.
