Learning During the Pandemic: Shifts, Disruptions, Empathy and Reskilling
Speaker: Elliott Masie
This session will provide a global perspective about how learning has been affected during the pandemic. Based on conversations with more than 150 chief learning officers and learning colleagues, there is a provocative pattern of organizational learning shifting, expanding, collapsing, virtualization, blending, downsizing, partnering, and more. Empathy and engagement have become critical as new roles in the reskilling of employees for new roles in the changing organizational structure as well as supporting furloughed and laid-off employees. The role of talent development manager is also shifting radically. We will explore the critical need to assess the effect of moving 1.3 billion people to e-learning globally. Finally, a Broadway entertainer will provide a song to uplift and add context to this session. This session was recorded for the ATD Virtual Conference, June 1 - 5, 2020.
