How to accelerate employee growth with nano and microlearning in your intranet
In today's dynamic business world, employee engagement and development are a top priority. To meet the evolving needs of a mobile, flexible workforce, it's crucial to explore innovative solutions that employees actually want to use and are integrated with your organization’s existing intranet.
"There is a 'Great Reskilling' on the horizon,” said Bain & Company, Inc. in 'The Working Future: More Human, Not Less,' 2022. “Firms’ talent needs are more dynamic than ever as a result of rapid technological change and the accelerated cut and thrust of this new era. [...] Leading firms of the future will reprioritize looking within underutilized talent pools and reimagine their outdated models of learning and development [...] For firms that take this seriously, learning will quickly become one of their single biggest investment items, making it a CEO-level issue."
As ways of working continue to evolve, nano and microlearning have become essential for employees to maintain agility and a competitive edge, as these methods enable the swift acquisition and application of new skills in rapidly changing industries. These learning strategies are particularly suited to the modern worker's need for flexible, bite-sized learning opportunities that align with their hectic schedules, thereby fostering ongoing professional development.
Microlearning and nanolearning complement the broader and more structured educational pathways of a traditional Learning Management System (LMS). This combination provides learners with flexible, just-in-time learning options that enhance the comprehensive training offered by an LMS, only in the flow of an employee’s work, from right within their intranet, addressing diverse learning styles and requirements.
As technology and business practices continuously evolve, nano and microlearning offer an effective means for employees to stay informed without overburdening their day-to-day responsibilities while meeting the need for personalized, just-in-time learning experiences that efficiently bridge skill gaps and adapt to novel workplace challenges.

Why your intranet should be a superapp
Consulting firm Gartner defines a superapp as “an app that provides end-users with a set of core features plus access to independently created mini-apps. The superapp is built as a platform to deliver a mini-apps ecosystem that users can choose from to activate for consistent and personalized app experiences”.
A superapp intranet becomes a centralized platform that streamlines a multitude of workplace functions, enhancing efficiency by reducing the need to juggle multiple apps and interfaces. A superapp intranet facilitates the seamless integration of various tools and services, from communication and project management to learning and development, allowing for a more cohesive, interactive, and personalized user experience.
With solutions like LumApps Learning, Companion, and other core capabilities, LumApps is evolving as a superapp–an employee intranet that delivers a comprehensive ecosystem of productivity tools accessible through a single application, creating convenience and enhancing employee engagement.
Our goal at LumApps is to provide an employee intranet that enables employees to feel connected to their organization and engaged in their work from anywhere, anytime while being empowered to perform in their roles and contribute to their organization in meaningful ways.
