Introduction

Are you busy? Crunched for time? Sometimes even overwhelmed? Of course—we all are! In the modern workplace, there is no shortage of things to do. The employees we train are no different. They have a lot to do at work, and it can be hard to find time for training. This is natural; except in rare cases, employees’ operational tasks are their number 1 priority. That’s what they were hired to do, and that’s what keeps the organization going. Training will always be priority number 2 or lower. This is why microlearning is so powerful. It allows learning professionals to provide small amounts of training quickly so employees can get back to their operational duties—or even learn while doing those duties.
