Over the past week, they put on a total of four online roundtables in their core languages.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These events consisted of training managers from major international companies coming together to share their challenges and concerns as they train their teams in times of COVID.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The \u201cnew normal\u201d and the training challenges it presents<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The round table from Latin America brought together training and HR experts from Bimbo, PepsiCo, and Bayer to discuss how they\u2019ve tweaked their digital transformation processes without jeopardizing results while their teams work from home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The speakers agreed that the challenges of the \u201cnew normal\u201d reared their ugly heads immediately and that they\u2019ve had to act quickly to adapt to new training formats.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Jorge Julio Espinosa, Bayer\u2019s Training and Development Manager, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe were already in the process of digital transformation in terms of our corporate training. We had both digital and face-to-face efforts underway. But once the pandemic came, everything had to be sped up, and our main challenge was: how do we quickly and effectively move our face-to-face training efforts online?\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Facing this situation, the participants maintained that innovative digital tools, such as the Gamelearn platform, have been a boon for them to:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">reinforce key knowledge for staff to thrive while working from home.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">move forward with the company\u2019s digital transformation.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">involve teams from various backgrounds and age groups seamlessly in the training process.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">organize and go ahead with courses that had been suggested and later postponed.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.game-learn.com\/en\/resources\/blog\/what-is-game-based-learning\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Game-based learning<\/a> as a training solution<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the second part of the round table, the central challenge was clear for all participants: how do you guarantee effective learning in all contexts and environments? For this, all three companies have opted for game-based learning<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> a learning methodology that builds student engagement through simulators and quality, gamified content focused on helping staff in their day-to-day functions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With more than 35 years of experience in training, Armando Cantu Brito, the Personnel Director at Bimbo, chimed in on the benefits the game-based learning provided.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe gamified elements hook you in. As students, we want to learn in different ways, and it helps to mix video games and training.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Likewise, Anna Bernard, Pepsico\u2019s Learning and Development Director, highlighted the importance of observing how different students react to each training then focusing on what they like and what works for everyone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both of these concepts are taken to heart at Gamelearn, whose platform currently boasts the highest recommendation and participation rates to date. Marcos Robledo, Gamelearn\u2019s Country Manager for LATAM, highlighted in the event that even on weekends, outside of working hours, many professionals are still logging on to continue their quest for development.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;The platform is friendly, and the games tackle a variety of topics that can be expanded on through the training itineraries, or \u2018l<a href=\"https:\/\/www.game-learn.com\/en\/resources\/blog\/5-learning-pathways-to-improve-the-development-of-your-company\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">earning pathways<\/a>.\u2019 It also provides immediate and personalized feedback as well as measurable and quantifiable data about KPIs.\u201d<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> -Anna Bernard, Learning and Development Director at Pepsico.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In short, the session highlighted the clear and obvious benefits of game-based learning at companies of all stripes. It\u2019s clear that the future is bright for the world of e-learning, especially for those companies who venture to innovate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To rewatch this event (in Spanish), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=uBXT-fKmE48\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">click here<\/a>.
