The traditional approach to employee learning is broken. Here’s what to do instead.
Most businesses rely on a Learning Management System (LMS) to deliver training. It ticks boxes, tracks completions, and creates the appearance of progress. But here’s the hard truth:
Completion doesn’t equal retention.
In fact, studies show that even the most robust LMS-based training often fails to drive real-world performance improvements. The problem isn’t your people, it’s the system they’re using.
Traditional LMS platforms are built around one-off courses, compliance checklists, and static content libraries. That works fine on paper, but in practice, it leads to low engagement and even lower retention.
📉 Up to 60% of knowledge is forgotten within 24 hours, and up to 90% within a week without reinforcement (source: Hermann Ebbinghaus, Forgetting Curve).
🧠 In one study, learners remembered just 28% of the material six days after training without reinforcement (Scientific American).
🔁 As a result, businesses spend 30–50% of their training budgets on retraining and refreshers every year (Training Industry).
So while LMS platforms help you deliver content, they rarely help learners retain it, which means performance doesn’t improve, and ROI suffers.
That’s where microlearning comes in.
Microlearning breaks down training into short, daily bursts (typically 2-3 minutes long) and uses spaced repetition and active recall to combat the forgetting curve.
🔁 Spaced repetition reintroduces concepts over time, boosting long-term retention
📱 Delivered in daily, mobile-friendly formats that fit seamlessly into the workday
🎯 Targets individual knowledge gaps so each learner gets what they actually need
🎮 Gamified elements and certainty-based marking increase motivation and engagement
📊 At Wranx, companies see:
