EspañolWhy every L&D manager should consider a Bookboon eLibrary for bite-sized learning
A recent study from Boston College, Harvard University and the University of Michigan found that soft skills training boosts productivity with 12%, staff retention during training programmes with 10% and delivers a 250% return on investment.*
This is only one example of the vast amount of research showing the positive impact of personal development training on a company’s bottom line through increased effectiveness, employee engagement, happiness, health and well-being.
“Human capital is a critical production factor that requires on-going investments in L&D to retain its value.”
– Prof. Dr Nick van Dam, Global Chief Learning Officer at McKinsey in his Bookboon e-book ‘21st Century Corporate Learning & Development’
But how do you implement this in an age where employees’ time is at a premium and face-to-face training is becoming increasingly expensive? Focus on usability.
With one of the highest usage rates in the digital learning industry (average above 40%) and as the world’s largest distributor of e-books for employee effectiveness and soft skills, Bookboon caters for those time-poor employees wanting to learn at the point of need.
Through our easy-to-use platform and short hands-on guides that are accessible on- and offline, employees can delve into the widest range of personal development topics, brought to you by industry-leading experts. It takes less than three clicks from start to reading.
By keeping our e-books under 50 pages you can read up on a specialist topic today, and implement it tomorrow.
Making it easy isn’t enough though, the e-books need to be practical, hands-on and of the highest quality. That’s where we excel: as a publisher we control the entire process from vetting the industry experts that author our e-books to comprehensive peer reviews. What’s more, every one of our e-books is exclusive to Bookboon.
That’s all fine, L&D managers will say, but implementing an eLibrary will be a real hassle. What if we told you we can integrate an eLibrary with your intranet, portal or LMS within minutes?
Once you sign your company up for a subscription, our customer success team makes it their personal mission to make sure at least 4 out of 10 of your employees actually use your library and get the most out of it. Additionally, you’ll be given full access to your eLibrary’s usage statistics and exam tools.
“Implementing the eLibrary took a very short time which was fantastic. It is easy to use and perfectly implemented into our LMS. We have received some good feedback: the content is mixed and valuable to our users.”
– Paul Maguire, SAP UK, Bookboon customer
