Nearly half of workers are unsatisfied with learning and development programmes.[1]
Traditional eLearning and in-person learning methods throw information at people.
Mandated by their boss, employees are frequently overwhelmed by this wealth of generic and impractical information all at once.
They don’t stimulate behaviour change or shift company culture.
As well as wasting money, companies are losing out on the opportunity for higher employee retention, productivity, and profitability.[2]
Explore how MindGym’s eWorkouts change that reality by delivering learning that employees want and need to grow.
What is an eWorkout
eWorkouts are self-directed digital learning experiences that help organisations to change the behaviour of their employees.
Designed in a bitesize format, eWorkouts are short and interactive sessions accessed by employees when they are ready.
Behavioural science research shows this is far more effective for sustained learning compared to traditional corporate learning methods.[3]
Each 10 to 15-minute module enables people to hyper-focus and gain actionable solutions to their biggest challenges in the workplace.
Animated videos translate each concept into easily digestible steps, while eWorkout simulations enable employees to practice their new skills in a safe and secure environment.
More than 80 topics are available across the areas of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I), management development, and performance management. And it is accessible on any device.
Main benefits of eWorkouts at MindGym
Focused content
Some 82% of workers are already overworked, according to research.[4]
It is critical to maximise the use of their limited time with learning they need when they need it.
Unfortunately, many employers offer one-size-fits-all course catalogues that never quite satisfy the demands of employees.
By contrast, eWorkout content addresses the specific and evolving challenges that are happening in the workplace. Research shows that relevant, personalised content is key to keeping people engaged in learning.[5]
Bite-sized
Most people are too busy for 60-minute lectures and day-long workshops.
Scientific research shows our collective attention span is narrowing due to the mass of information that is thrown our way every day.[6]
Emails, websites, WhatsApp messages, newspapers, TV shows, social media, etc. There is so much to read and watch.
Short, interactive sessions, that are spaced out over time, are more effective at maintaining the interest and motivation of learners.
Backed by behavioural science
Most traditional eLearning methods ask people to read different slides of information before taking a multiple-choice quiz at the end.
Two weeks later, they have forgotten half of the things they had read.
To make learning stick, behaviour change is required.
Backed by the best behavioural science research, eWorkouts provide practical learning experiences that prompt learners to turn their learning into action immediately.
Researchers at University Hospital LMU Munich in Germany found their medical students retained knowledge for far longer through practical bitesize content rather than lectures.[7]
Example of an eWorkout at MindGym
Imagine the boost to your team’s performance if you could turn all your steady performers into stars.
Most managers don’t know how to do it. Will it upset or alienate your team? What if it fails miserably?
The Peak performance eWorkout shows managers how to create an environment that pushes employees to consistently go the extra mile and achieve their potential.
The eWorkout is influenced by psychiatrist Edward M. Hallowell, who created a five-step “cycle of excellence” to help managers get the best out of their people - based on psychology and neuroscience research.[8]
The Peak performance eWorkout will teach managers:
- The simple science-backed model to achieving superior performance
- How to identify individual drivers and how to build these into team members’ roles
- How to create a high-performance environment within your team
- The potential blocks to future improvements and ways to overcome these
