In this insightful podcast, Amit Garg speaks with World Bank Group’s executives, Sam Taylor, Jr. and Rick Housler about ‘Workplace Learning in the Post-Covid World’. Both Sam & Rick are Senior Learning Specialists with the World Bank Group and support Open Learning Campus (OLC), which is the World Bank Group’s single destination for staff and client learning.

The podcast starts with Rick recalling the March of 2020 when the World Bank Group (and the entire world) suddenly had to transition to the work from home scenario until further notice. Rick shares that the OLC architecture that was already in place helped them to balance the transitional phase well.
