Dive Brief:

• Finding the time to fit in employee training focused on leadership development is getting more and more difficult these days.
• But it has to happen because employers need capable leaders, and learning needs to be part of that objective, according to a blog post at OnPoint Consulting.
• By using a "blended learning" strategy, which combines classroom experience with instructor-led online leadership training and self-paced methods such as e-learning, it can be done.

Dive Insight:

The four main reasons why blended learning can drive leadership development include it’s flexible and scalable, it's affordable, it combines the best of traditional and e-learning approaches and many employers are already doing it.

Thanks to technology, said the blog post, employers can offer their employees more flexibility when it comes to training. At the same time, leaders can keep up their credentials more efficiently and employers can keep their costs down.
