Are you getting the most out of your digital learning tools?
Your company has invested in powerful digital learning tools like Articulate Rise, Storyline and Vyond to make your job easier and more effective. But let’s be honest—how much of their full potential are you using? If you’ve ever found yourself repeating the same interactions in your Storyline courses or struggling to wow your audience with your design in Rise, you’re not alone.
The good news? Our training exists to help you get the most out of these tools. The tricky part? Finding the time and getting the go-ahead to do it.
So, if you want to make digital learning training a priority (without directly asking), here’s how you can make a strong case for it.
Your business case for training (without the corporate jargon)
If you need solid stats to back up your case for training—whether in a conversation with your manager or a strategic “accidental” email—these numbers speak for themselves:
- Companies that invest in employee training see a 24% higher profit margin (Association for Talent Development).
- 74% of employees feel they’re not reaching their full potential due to a lack of training (Middlesex University).
- 86% of UK workers believe employers providing ongoing career development are less likely to experience high staff turnover. (People Management).
Simply put, learning new skills doesn’t just help you—it helps the entire business run more smoothly and profitably.
But what’s in it for you?
Digital learning training isn’t just about making your company happy. It’s about making your life easier and setting yourself up for future success. Here’s how:
- Work smarter, not harder
Knowing how to properly use the tools at your disposal saves you time and frustration. No more trial-and-error when deadlines are looming! - Boost your career prospects
Mastering Storyline or Vyond? That’s a valuable skill on any CV. Want to take it further? AN ITOL accredited Diploma in Instructional Design or can open even more doors. - More confidence, less stress
There’s nothing worse than feeling out of your depth with a tool you’re expected to use daily. Training gives you the confidence to tackle tasks head-on.
How to (subtly) get your manager on board
If you want to nudge your manager in the right direction but don’t fancy a direct “Can I do this course?” email, here are a few subtle approaches:
- The ‘I saw this and thought it was interesting’ approach
Drop a link to the training in a team chat or email. A casual “Looks like a great way to sharpen our skills!” might just do the trick. - The ‘productivity angle’
If your team is struggling with a specific tool or skill, mention that “This training could save us loads of time on our current project and improve learning outcomes for our audiences. Managers love efficiency and continuous improvement. - The ‘future-proofing’ argument
“L&D is evolving fast—this could be a great way for us to stay ahead of the curve.” Getting trained now means you’re not left scrambling to catch up later. Plus, it’s a great way to stay ahead of the competition and make sure your team isn’t stuck using outdated methods while everyone else is moving forward.
