5 benefits of e-learning for your market access teams

E-learning helps market access leaders to empower their teams to take charge of their career development and strengthen the culture of learning within the team. 

In this update, Alison Lawrence, Director at PRMA Consulting and one of the pioneers of MALCOM (Market Access Learning Compendium) e-learning, shares 5 ways that e-learning can benefit your teams: 

1. Training suited to your personal learning style and workload 
2. Shorter modules encourage completion and adoption of learning 
3. Gaining relevant and timely learning 
4. Eliminating the need to attend in person  
5. Stronger partnerships with cross-functional stakeholders 

Many market access teams are overcoming the challenges of remote and hybrid working by leveraging e-learning 

As the trend for remote and hybrid working continues, many organizations are experiencing the challenges of engaging and upskilling their teams. It’s not surprising that many business leaders are looking to outsourced e-learning as a cost-effective solution. 

Outsourced e-learning provides the organization with resource and budget savings as they avoid: 

• significant time and financial costs invested in creating and rolling out in-house learning 
• problems of working on outdated online platforms 
• concerns about not having the expertise or resource to research the latest insights in areas they may be unfamiliar with. 

Ultimately, in-house training can be time consuming, budget heavy, and lead to inconsistent and unpredictable experiences for your learners. But what are the benefits for the end-users, the market access professionals in your Global and Local teams? 

5 ways that market access professionals benefit from e-learning 

1. Training suited to your personal learning style and workload 

The flexibility of on-demand e-learning enables your teams to set their own learning pace that fits their existing experience and workload. This allows a manageable balance of priorities and helps those with different learning styles. 

For example, teams benefit from continuous access to course materials which is great for those who want to reread key points or reflect on the insights before moving on. 

2. Shorter modules encourage completion and adoption of learning 

With short, easily digestible sections within each module, e-learning can be delivered in an instant. Unlike in-person training, there are no off-topic conversations or distractions – modules are focused on the key-insights, so it is quicker for your teams to absorb the learning. 

Making learning achievable in balance with a challenging workload adds to a positive user experience and increases the likelihood of your teams completing and using their learning. 

3. Ensuring relevant and timely learning 

As access landscapes evolve and your teams needs change, e-learning modules can be updated or added, so your teams have access to the latest insights. 

Bespoke e-learning packages also offer teams the opportunity to create and share bespoke content, meaning they can add learning that is 100% relevant to internal practices. 

4. Eliminating the need to attend in person  

With the increase in remote and hybrid working, on-demand e-learning enables teams to benefit from high-quality learning without the constraints of being physically present in a training room or managing meetings across time zones. 

E-learning enables teams to engage within their own comfort levels while having the opportunity to drive their learning further.

5. Stronger partnerships with cross-functional stakeholders

A successful market access team is one that has a working understanding of cross functional capabilities – such as HEOR, Medical, and Commercial. 

A good e-learning program introduces your teams to those cross– functional skills, so they understand the dependencies involved in the design and execution of market access strategies, and are better equipped to strengthen those synergies.
