Most staff start online training with good intentions, then fall behind when the work piles up. A few simple habits help them reach the last lesson.
Block out 30 minutes in the diary, twice a week. Ask managers to protect that time. Share progress openly so people feel part of a team effort.
People finish what their manager shows interest in. Thandiwe MokoenaCheck in after the first week. A short chat about what was useful keeps people going. At Kantoorkuns Training we send gentle reminders and give a certificate at the end, which learners really appreciate.
Make time in the week
Set two fixed slots in the diary for your course. Switch off email, find a quiet corner and treat the lesson like a meeting you cannot move.
Use what you learn at work
Try one idea from each lesson on the same day. Charlene Adams suggests sharing a tip with a colleague, because explaining it helps you remember it.
