In the UK, 84% of workers who had to work from home because of the Coronavirus pandemic have said they plan to continue working at home, at least some of the time, in the future. That poses a problem to those of us responsible for workplace learning.

This week on The Mind Tools Podcast, Ross G and Ross D are joined by Phill Miller, Managing Director of Open LMS, to explore solutions. We discuss:

  • The impact that a shift to hybrid and remote working has had on L&D professionals
  • The advantages of remote learning
  • The disadvantages of remote learning – and how to address them!

The stats that Ross G mentioned were taken from the Office for National Statistics, ‘Is hybrid working here to stay?’. See: ons.gov.uk/employmentandlabourmarket/peopleinwork/employmentandemployeetypes/articles/ishybridworkingheretostay/2022-05-23

In ‘What I Learned This Week’, Ross D discussed his experiments using DALL·E to create images from text. See: openai.com/blog/dall-e-now-available-without-waitlist/

Ross also shared the image he created with the prompt 'Oil painting of two nerdy guys recording a podcast in a studio.' on Twitter: https://twitter.com/RossDickieMT/status/1590310719832354816
