The move to global workforces continues, making standardized instruction through field-based OJT and instructor-led training more and more difficult (learn about online training for standard training messages here)
Technological advances are making it easier to make use of 3D animations, augmented reality, and virtual reality delivered online for EHS training (read about the benefits of 3D animation for safety training here)
Online tools are proving themselves to be an efficient way to deliver on-the-job performance support directly to workers in the field, when and where workers need it (click to read about mobile training apps for performance support)
