With remote work on the rise, employee training needs to adapt, which is why many business leaders are considering new methodologies—including microlearning—to help keep their disparate workforces on the cutting edge.

When microlearning is deployed correctly, it has many benefits including overcoming the forgetting curve - or the function by which the retention of new information degrades over time. Other benefits include a faster transfer of information, the fact that microlearning is highly customizable across positions and across industries, and microlearning sessions usually see higher levels of engagement.
