Enhance Employee Efficiency with On-the-Job Microlearning MaxLearn

Enhance Employee Efficiency with
On-the-Job Microlearning | MaxLearn
In today’s fast-paced corporate world, where every minute counts, employee
efficiency is the lifeblood of a successful business. Yet, a common paradox persists:
while companies invest heavily in training, much of that knowledge is lost shortly
after a traditional training session. The "forgetting curve" is a well-documented
phenomenon, revealing that employees can forget up to 70% of new information
within 24 hours. The result is a workforce that is less efficient, less confident, and
less productive.
The solution to this challenge isn't more training; it's smarter training. MaxLearn
introduces a revolutionary approach: on-the-job microlearning. This model leverages
the natural rhythm of the modern workday to deliver learning in short, focused bursts,
ensuring knowledge is not only retained but immediately applied, thereby driving

significant gains in employee efficiency across all industries, from Finance to
Pharma.
The Flaw of Traditional Training: Out of Sync with the
Modern Employee
Traditional training methods, such as lengthy workshops or multi-hour e-learning
courses, are fundamentally out of sync with how the modern employee works. An
employee’s day is filled with a constant stream of short tasks, interruptions, and
quick decisions. Forcing them into a long, passive learning session often leads to:
Disruption: Pulling employees away from their tasks for hours at a time breaks their
workflow and can hurt productivity.
Information Overload: Long sessions are often filled with a mix of "need-to-know"
and "nice-to-know" information, overwhelming the learner and making it difficult to
recall crucial details.
Delayed Application: By the time an employee returns to their job, the information is
already beginning to fade, making it difficult to apply the skills and knowledge they
just learned.
How On-the-Job Microlearning Drives Efficiency
On-the-job microlearning directly addresses these flaws by integrating learning
seamlessly into the workflow. It's the difference between a long, theoretical lecture
and a quick, practical tip delivered at the exact moment it’s needed. This model’s
efficiency-enhancing power stems from three core principles:
Just-in-Time Knowledge Delivery: The essence of on-the-job microlearning is
providing a single, specific piece of information at the "moment of need." This could
be a quick refresher, a step-by-step guide, or a quick video demonstrating a new
procedure.
In Practice (Mining): A technician troubleshooting a piece of heavy machinery can
access a 3-minute video guide on their mobile device via a Microlearning
Application, walking them through the repair process. This immediate access to
knowledge prevents downtime and ensures the job is done right the first time.
In Practice (Retail): A sales associate facing a new customer inquiry can quickly pull
up a short video or infographic on a new product feature, making them more
confident and effective in the sales interaction.

Reinforcement for Lasting Retention: Employee efficiency is built on a foundation of
confident, retained knowledge. Microlearning combats the forgetting curve with
consistent, spaced repetition. Instead of a single, overwhelming training session,
employees receive small, targeted refreshers over time, ensuring that critical
information stays top-of-mind.
In Practice (Banking): A compliance officer receives daily, one-minute quizzes on key
regulations. This consistent reinforcement, managed by an intelligent AI-Powered
Learning Platform, ensures they are always up-to-date and ready to make the right
decisions, which is critical for mitigating risk.
In Practice (Healthcare): A clinician receives weekly reminders on a new patient
intake protocol, reinforcing new habits and reducing the chance of procedural errors.
Personalization and Relevance: Generic training is often a waste of time. For training
to enhance efficiency, it must be relevant to the employee's specific role and skill
gaps. MaxLearn’s AI-Powered Learning Platform analyzes an employee’s
performance and learning history to deliver a personalized stream of Microlearning
Courses and content.
In Practice (Pharma): A sales representative who is struggling to answer a specific
type of customer objection will receive a targeted microlearning course designed to
address that exact skill gap, rather than having to sit through a generic sales training
session. This precision dramatically improves efficiency.
