As 2020 draws to a close, it gives us an opportunity to reflect. For many businesses and decision-makers, the abrupt nature that COVID-19 hit the UK signalled one of the biggest workforce transformations of the century.
Global tech brands such as Twitter and Facebook have already publicly stated that they are open to their staff working from home permanently, as they embrace a new dawn of working.
But whilst working from home might mean you haven’t had to face delays on your evening commute home, or set the alarm clock for the usual unsociable wake-up call, many employees have been asked to learn new skills to help organisations stay afloat.
With this in mind, we’ve taken a look at five platforms that are revolutionising the way companies can develop their people.
On a mission to create the best personal-development platform for employees in the world is Guider. Its core consists of three strands which are mentoring, coaching, and advising.
Since 2017, Guider has been supporting global brands such as easyJet, M&S and L’Oreal to implement effective and scalable programmes to help their people grow and develop.
Guider’s AI-powered software expertly matches the best mentors in your organisation with those looking to learn and grow. A welcomed relief for your organisation’s human resources department who can wave goodbye to keeping track of spreadsheets.
Guider effectively gets different parts of an organisation talking and helping each other to help grow the business.
An award-winning virtual reality educational platform for soft skill training with a particular focus on communication skills which includes public speaking, sales and leadership.
As the world’s first platform to combine e-learning with virtual reality capabilities, there’s no surprise that the London start-up has generated a lot of interest in the press already with features in the likes of The New York Times, Forbes and the Huffington Post.
So far 300,000 users across 125 countries have benefited from VirtualSpeech’s training program and have improved their skills and confidence.
