One of the most resource-intensive (and therefore costly) activities triggered by a migration to a web platform like Microsoft Office 365 is onboarding, AKA introducing personnel to a new office automation system. Conventional methods of meeting this requirement\u00a0include scheduling an event like a \u201clunch and learn\u201d training session to accomplish this task.<\/p>\n
Either a Technical Trainer or a member of the IT Support team needs to lead this session. You can invite employees to attend, or let them know they need to attend the meeting. Invitations represent the kinder approach to getting their attention, but requiring their attendance is a better way to make sure your organization will only need to hold the event one time.<\/p>\n
These sessions can take an hour or longer and usually require the preparation of reference materials to make sure attendees remember the points presented during the event. Corporate Training historical data indicates most attendees forget upwards to 75% or more of the points made during the event within a day or two. Even taking the step to provide them with reference materials doesn\u2019t guarantee they will remember important steps and spare IT support from having to respond, directly, to a request for \u201chow to\u201d information on a point covered during the presentation.<\/p>\n
There is a better way to onboard personnel to Office 365. You don\u2019t have to give up on your plan to host in-person training sessions, but with our better way you can have more confidence the important points will be remembered by a high percentage of personnel attending the event.\u00a0The video embedded in this blog post tells the story.<\/p>\n
