Make a Study Space
Employees might have a computer at home, but with kids, pets, and other family members around, a home computer isn't always the best way to take an online class! Facilities, on the other hand, often have office space or other low-traffic areas that are better suited to learning. You can provide your employee with a desktop or laptop computer with internet an internet connection, and they'll be all set to learn.
Study Buddies
Online classes can be a little lonely sometimes, especially for really social people. The best way to address this is to arrange for your employees to take classes together. They can do the reading and online portions on their own, but have each other for study support and more in-depth learning beyond the computer lessons. Another perk of this is that the employees can work together to apply their newly learned skills. It's not only fun, but a great boost to employee morale.
All of We Care Online's classes have a discussion board in which students can discuss lessons and share their on-the-job experiences, but being able to apply their learning with co-workers is very rewarding, too.
Flexible Schedules
While most of our classes take less than a month to complete, they do require several hours of reading and study work. If you can give your employee some extra schedule flexibility for the length of the class, it can really help their learning experience. Being able to come in to work a little early to use a spare computer, or having an extra 15 minutes of lunch hour to study can make a huge difference. The short-term time lost in employee productivity will be more than made up for once your employee comes to work with a whole new set of skills and knowledge. Investing in continued education is great for your facility and for employee retention and morale.
