Open access
In today’s global and technologically innovated society, organizations require new and enhanced mechanisms of learning to overcome the challenges posed by the market system. Microlearning is especially useful as it is a more effective and timeous way of training as opposed to the traditional methods. This study is based on the methods applied in microlearning and its effectiveness in talent management in organizations. It also focuses on the importance of microlearning in enhancing the memory and knowledge, increasing the employees’ satisfaction, and enhancing the loyalty, all which are vital for the organizational productivity and growth. The paper also discusses directions for the future research that could focus on the overall impact of microlearning in different sectors and the effect of microlearning on creativity of employees and performance of the organization.
