There is no denying that human capital is the biggest organizational asset and the key to achieving business goals—both long and short term. As such, corporate training remains a critical element in a business’ overall growth strategy, helping employees constantly collaborate and engage with each other, and focus on their personal growth as well. However, rising to the needs of employees to ensure that they are highly productive at the workplace and are not weighed down by new business rules and initiatives often seem challenging. The truth is each employee is different, has distinct learning needs, requires specific skill sets, and prefers learning in the language of their choice. Moreover, it is of utmost importance for organizations to bear in mind that their corporate education and learning tools must be closely aligned with their business objectives for achieving new heights.

To this end, Washington-based Hemsley Fraser (HF)—a boutique consultancy firm—brings forth rich, insightful content for corporate training and education, which is delivered to employees by expert instructors. Committed to connecting with clients and inspiring their employees to engage, evolve, and exceed expectations, HF partners with organizations worldwide to provide learning and development solutions. The company is highly focused on driving ideas to action, optimizing employee performance, fostering breakthrough results, and strengthening the competitive position of enterprises.

Learn Anywhere, Anytime, Anyhow

Excellent learning content is what forms the core of HF. The company offers an extensive portfolio of digital solutions and training courses that can be delivered at its training center, client’s location, or virtually. The company’s multimodal content portfolio comprises unique learning assets—thrive in five, animations, infographics, fluidbooks, espressos, and z-cards.

An ideal micro-learning solution, thrive in five offers easy to memorize, mobile-friendly practical learning tips on the move, all covered in 2 to 3 minutes. Animations consist of animated clips that combine straight-talking voiceover and storytelling imagery to communicate key learning points in an easy-to-digest form. Relaying key information, infographics represents a topic in a highly visual and text-light manner using images and statistics. The company’s unique digital book series, fluidbooks integrates text, graphics, videos, deep web links, animation, and more to explore learning topics in a blended style. ‘Espresso’, an effective coaching style, is a fun and engaging approach to learning and is targeted at minimizing the time away from the desk. These sessions span for a range of 70-90 minutes and can be delivered face-to-face or through visual instructor-led training (VILT). Last in the asset suite, yet equally important is z-cards. The pocket-sized cards are an incredible way to breathe new life into printed materials that hold a wealth of information.

Further, HF’s novel approach to intellectual property management makes the process of finding the specific content a breeze. A warehouse of the learning assets, the HF ‘Core’ is an easy-to-access digital platform that makes content navigation and designing tailored learning solution exceptionally seamless.
