I was drawn to a report by the National Institute of Economic and Social Research on the pay and career progression experiences of women aged over 50 in Scotland.
In a section on women’s views of training there was this comment:
…another woman who also worked for a media company noted that she did not always access training on technology because it was “self-serve” – in other words, the onus was on the employee to find extra time on top of their normal workload to attend webinars or to look at information online

If you’re designing learning content, don’t just stick it online. If you’re supporting people in the workplace, make sure they have space and time to learn appropriately. If you’re working with any women over 50, you need to read this report.
