A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF E-LEARNING AND TRADITIONAL TRAINING METHODS IN ENHANCING EMPLOYEE DEVELOPMENT IN MODERN ORGANIZATIONS

This study examines the comparative effectiveness of E-learning versus traditional face-to-face training methods in the context of modern corporate employee development. Companies are under more and more pressure to make sure that their workers are always learning new things and getting better at what they do. This is because technology is changing quickly and there are more and more businesses competing around the world. Digital transformation has changed a lot about how businesses train their workers. More and more people are choosing e-learning over traditional classroom learning. The study employs a comparative analytical framework focused on five primary criteria: cost, flexibility, learning efficacy, motivation, and scalability. The study integrates theoretical concepts from the literature with empirical validation via structured comparisons and comprehensive interviews with employees. The results show that E-learning is better than other kinds of learning when it comes to cost, ease of access, scalability, and keeping learners interested. This is because it is sent electronically, has multimedia, and lets students learn at their own pace. On the other hand, traditional training still has some advantages in situations where people need to interact with each other, get quick feedback, and practice on their own. The interview results show that workers like how flexible and easy digital learning is, but they also know how important it is to connect with others in person for collaborative and experiential learning. The research indicates that E-learning is a superior long-term and scalable training solution for contemporary enterprises. But the best way to teach people is to use a blended learning model that combines the best parts of both digital and traditional methods. Companies can get the most out of their learning with this kind of hybrid architecture, which is also cost-effective and adaptable in situations where business changes quickly.
