MicroLearning Sessions

Time is valuable and so is training. HR’s microlearning sessions involve stripping down a skill, task or idea to its most essential parts – and only teaching those. Consequently, microlearning sessions are highly focused and made up of bite-sized exercises. This helps in the attention and retention of ideas and concepts involved in a task or project.
