Virtual learning isn’t new, but the current crisis has elevated it from a convenient way to bring globally dispersed teams together for sustainable learning, to an essential part of every organization's talent development strategy.
Not only are people now learning from home, but most are also working from home – and for some it’s for the very first time. This switch to remote working brings its own challenges as individuals adjust to their new working environment and attempt to work as effectively with colleagues as they did when able to meet face-to-face.
In this virtual world, teams also need to find new ways to connect and collaborate on projects, while leaders are tasked with building the right culture for individuals who all work from home.
What organizations need right now is virtual learning that’s designed to solve some of these challenges, which is why Insights offer a selection of virtual solutions that:
Virtual learning is a flexible and accessible way to develop talent within global organisations.

Whether you opt for virtual or in-person delivery, we guarantee your learners will experience the same wow factor that has made us a leader in positive and impactful learner experiences.
We know that teams which have some - or all - colleagues based virtually have their own unique challenges. Beyond the practical barriers of technology and time zones, it’s a challenge to build authentic and productive working relationships when team members have had minimal time for personal connection. Some team members may be working virtually for the first time, and some may be leading teams of people they’ve never met; in both situations it’s vital to spend time and energy on relationship-building because it’s relationships which ultimately determine the success of team endeavors.
We have virtual programs that support leaders and teams working within virtual environments. These are suitable for teams new to virtual working, or virtual teams that are wanting to improve their effectiveness. All are based on our Insights Discovery system, which is used globally to improve working relationships, teamwork and collaboration.
