With employees unable to retrieve up to 90 percent of information from initial onboarding, organizations need a way to reinforce training programs for maximum knowledge retrieval and provide support to ensure reps are fully productive, all at less cost. Moreover, learning management systems are not innate to the daily rituals of workers and as a result, there is a disconnect between training and the workforce.
