Key findings of the Kahoot! 2020 Learning at Work Report include:
Professionals value learning more after remote work, but not all companies are stepping up
The shift to remote work left many professionals in need of training to adapt to new technology, communication systems and workflows. According to a McKinsey Global Survey, many organizations accelerated their technology adoption by years in a matter of months, and the ability to fill talent gaps has been identified as a key factor of organizations’ success during COVID-19. In the Kahoot! survey, nearly half of respondents said that they believe learning and development (L&D) is more important to their success at work since going remote.

Though, while many now see learning and development as more important, nearly 1 in 2 surveyed felt their organization has not improved workplace training since the pandemic.
Virtual learning is on the rise, but a combination of remote and in-person learning is here to stay
The shift to remote work has made virtual training mainstream in many organizations, and more than 4 in 10 would prefer this to continue even after the pandemic. Almost all respondents (nearly 9 in 10) expect virtual training to be part of their organization’s L&D toolbox. However, blended learning, which combines in-person and remote learning, remains the most popular choice, with nearly 1 in 2 naming it as their preferred format once they can return to the office.
