Online learning isn’t just a trend, it’s here now – and that’s good for residents and employees alike.

A roundup of online learning statistics created by Devlin Peck, an instructional designer and founder of licensed career school Peck Academy, includes:

  • 80% of businesses now offer online learning or training solutions
  • Online learning can increase student and employee retention by as much as 50%
  • Online learning can reduce the time needed to learn a subject by 40% to 60%
  • Online learning and training can improve employee performance by 15% to 25%

These facts, taken as a whole, demonstrate that training and educating senior community teams via online learning is a great option.
Improve employee retention by 50-percent and performance by 15-25-percent? That goes to the heart of two of the biggest challenges faced by assisted living directors: improved quality of care and retention.
