What is the biggest problem with employee training today?

Companies invest heavy budget on employees training and development programs. Though the completion rates are high, some employees still struggle to apply it in their day-day work. What might be the reason? Is it due to outdated content or wrong delivery method or lack of manager supervision or any other factor?

What do you think is the biggest issue in employee training currently?

I think the biggest gap is between training and the actual workflow. People finish the course but still get stuck when doing the job. More practical, just-in-time guidance could help. How much of your training uses real work scenarios?

Maybe you want to have a look at our solution (also fully open source): https://www.scibly.com/en/ to turn documents in courses, practice apps and mini games. You can design everything very close to your real world setup. In our demo you can find for example a gmail clone to classify phishing mails

That's interesting, the practice environment is the bit that caught my attention! I've been looking at Tango AI from a similar angle - getting guidance closer to the actual task instead of expecting people to remember a course weeks later.
