Why Outsourcing eLearning Content Development Is a Game-Changer for Your Organization

As corporate learning evolves, eLearning has become a cornerstone of employee training, whether onboarding new hires or helping current employees developing critical skills. But let’s be real: creating high-quality, engaging eLearning content is no small feat. It requires hundreds of hours of effort and expertise. For most organizations, trying to handle this in-house can put a serious strain on internal resources.

Does this sound familiar?

One of our clients faced this challenge. Their in-house team was so focused on content creation that other business areas began to suffer. After careful evaluation, they decided to outsource their eLearning content development, which was a game-changer for their operations.

The Challenge: Creating eLearning In-House Is Time-Consuming and Costly

Developing interactive, meaningful, and efficient eLearning content Isn't easy. It requires a delicate balance of creativity, technical know-how, and educational principles. For many companies, this balance is hard to achieve with internal teams already stretched thin.

It reminds me of our Retail Sales Training client who faced a familiar problem:

The team was pulled away from core business objectives to focus on eLearning development.
Instructional designers and developers were juggling multiple roles, slowing workflow and reducing productivity.
The time and cost involved in maintaining this approach were unsustainable.
