"From May 2020, JEN Singapore Tanglin & Orchardgateway by Shangri-La partnered with TP to successfully roll out online Micro-Learning Courses to our colleagues. The most significant advantage would be the bite-sized nature of the courses, as it meant that we have the flexibility of learning on the go anytime and anywhere. Our colleagues are able to quickly upskill and reskill during Covid19, where physical classroom lessons are prohibited and discouraged.
Additionally, the plethora of courses available means that we can offer our colleagues a chance to pick up varied skills that are important and essential to prepare themselves post-Covid. In particular, we found the courses “Rest Your Stress” and “Living Well Matters” extremely useful for our colleagues during this period."
