Brussels, Belgium, February 28, 2011, - CERTPOINT Systems general manager Europe, Maria van Vlodrop, will discuss how to ensure take up of learning programs in a webinar hosted by the Learning and Skills Group. The session entitled ‘Six ways to ensure engagement with your learning program’ will be broadcast on Thursday 3rd March at 12:00 GMT.

“The presentation draws on lessons learned on online learning implementations with organizations such as Toyota Motor Europe, Honda, John Crane and L’Oréal,” says van Vlodrop. “It provides some very practical steps and a series of useful tools for anyone to increase employee engagement with a learning program.”

Best of all, says van Vlodrop, ensuring engagement needn’t break the bank. “In these tough times, learning and development departments are increasingly being asked to do more with less. This webinar will help meet that goal by ensuring you make the most of the learning systems and other assets you have in place.”

During the presentation, van Vlodrop will cover issues such as:

• Understanding stakeholders
• Building a communications plan
• Sustaining engagement
• Choosing the right incentives – for both managers and learners
• Receiving due credit for your achievement

“Ensuring engagement is a crucial part of learning and development’s role,” said Donald H Taylor, chairman of the Learning and Skills Group. “By joining Thursday’s webinar, L&D professionals will learn proven ways of ensuring engagement in any organization, at low cost, and with potentially huge benefits. It’s a great opportunity to pick up on.”
