Frequently Asked Questions

Is online training really effective?

If done right, online training (or e-learning) can produce these three great benefits:

  1. Improved information retention and on-the-job performance
  2. Time savings and flexibility
  3. Decreased costs

Here are some research-based facts about the benefits of online learning:

  • Increased retention of information and its application to the job averages an increase of 25 percent over traditional methods.
  • Studies of major companies comparing technology-based training to classroom instruction show that learning gains were up to 56 percent greater, "consistency of learning" (variance in learning across learners) was 50 to 60 percent better, and "content retention" was 25 to 50 percent higher.
  • With e-learning, results comparable to those of instructor-led training have been achieved in 40 to 60 percent less time.

Online training is a cost effective way to disseminate information, develop employees and increase individual and organization performance.

How is ManageElite different from other online training programs?

Most online training programs take an information dump approach. They focus on disseminating as many rules, regulations and best practices as possible almost to the point of being overwhelming.

On the other hand, ManageElite is unique in three main ways:

  • Bridges the gap between training and on-the-job performance with interactive, real-world scenarios that force managers to think and make decisions that replicate what happens on-the-job. They develop knowledge they can apply, not just the ability to pass simple multiple choice and true/false tests.
  • Focuses on training topics in short bursts that address the toughest management challenges. Soft skills training so managers improve their ability to hire well, motivate, lead, and handle difficult situations. HR compliance and employment law training in plain English, so managers stay out of legal trouble.
  • Engages managers and holds their attention with gregarious speakers who present in a conversational tone. No more boring, monotone speakers that put people to sleep.

Add to that no per user fees, fresh monthly content and on-demand availability so employees can complete training at anytime, anywhere with convenient ongoing access to brush on key topics later. It's like having an engaging management and HR trainer on retainer, without the big cost.

How do you produce the training content?

ManageElite training content is developed through a process of editorial research that pulls from a myriad collection of authoritative sources, anecdotes and the business expertise of real practitioners (gained from talking to them on the phone, at conferences, etc.).

It is then converted into scripts that are produced into Flash presentations, scenarios and quizzes, as well as job aids and helpful guides.

All this is done by our experienced, in-house editorial staff that have covered and reported on a given area for upwards of 15 years.
