“Practice makes perfect” may be an old adage, but it’s no less true today. Experts agree that practice greatly increases the ability to retain new information and build new habits.
So why does so much workplace education consist solely of watching a video or reading a handout and then setting it aside forever?
For learning to be effective and engaging, employees need the opportunity to put their learning into practice and integrate their new skills and ideas into their everyday life. And for learning to be economical and efficient, organizations need to look beyond in-person, one-size-fits-all professional development sessions.
That’s where WellRight Learning Labs come in.
Taught by renowned thought leaders through video content, assessments, practice activities, tracking, reporting, and gamification, WellRight’s carefully curated Learning Labs are designed to increase employee motivation and engagement like never before.
