Assessment Solutions Can Maximize the Efficiency of Human Resources Functions

Employers are looking for the best employees in the market because they want those who are looking for a long-term relationship. The old methods are no longer sufficient for companies to hire the employees they feel will fit into their company’s business model, so there is a need for human resources personnel to learn and implement new methodology for screening new employees and assuring existing employees meet the company’s needs.


The ability to work with new and old employees is an important one because companies want to eliminate turnover in both departments and within the company as a whole.

LMSs Enhance Learning for Shorter Attention Spans

As the internet generation is bombarded with newer and newer ways to distract itself, we can’t really get a clear picture of all the consequences they’re having on young people’s learning systems. But one outcome is plain to anyone who spends time in any classroom, whether it’s 100% face-to-face or LMS-supplemented: shorter attention spans.

Studies show that the digital generation is less willing to read long texts, perform repetitious exercises, and memorize basic information needed to advance in any learning system, LMS or otherwise.

One problem is that this tech-savvy generation expects instant gratification, and therefore is quicker to lose confidence when faced with challenges. When success is not immediately obtained, students are quicker to lose the confidence required to see a difficult task through to completion.
