101 Blended Learning in a Hybrid World

8:00 AM - 8:45 AM Wednesday, July 27

Workplaces are increasingly hybrid, and that has major implications on how learning and development professionals support the workforce. What components are needed within a blended learning strategy to effectively support the changing paradigm of work? 

In our opening session for the Learning Leaders Summer Forum, we focus on the changing environment in which we are working. Our panel of leaders will explore how the hybrid world has changed in their workplaces, and what factors drive the decisions that determine the selection of elements used to support their workers. You’ll hear about successes, challenges, and the lessons we’re learning along the way that can inform our learning strategies as we continue to navigate an evolving work environment. 

In this session you will learn: 

  • Why the approach to blended learning needs to evolve 

  • Examples of programs that have successfully supported hybrid workers 

  • Challenges that leaders encounter in supporting a hybrid workforce 

  • Tips for future-proofing your learning strategies 

Session Takeaway: Attendees will receive a list of key questions that can inform how you can build a blended learning strategy that effectively supports a hybrid workforce.
