Abstract

Background: With the volatile corporate landscape, an immediate ad-justment in the strategies for blended learning programs is crucial. The management holds significant expectations from the human resources and training departments, urging them to devise inventive, time-efficient, travel- friendly, and cost-effective approaches.
Purpose: The Purpose of the study is to determine the blended learning program effectiveness among high potential employees in manufacturing industry. This subject was prevalent in industries such as manufacturing industries. It has a profound impact on the long-term sustainability of organizations, particularly in engaging, nurturing, and retaining high-potential employees within the manufacturing industries.

Methods: This research approach offers a thorough understanding of the connections between blended learning program effectiveness, high-potential employees, and manufacturing industries by combining a literature review of 18 research papers, case studies, and surveys.

Findings: High potential employees, training professionals, as well as other employees have shown a favourable attitude toward the integration of blended learning program effectiveness methods in manufacturing industries-learning environments. Many firms put a high value on BL because employees are encouraged to learn on the job by participating in work-based activities that include high potential employees as learning partners & make use of business resources they have developed.

Conclusions: This research methodology aims to provide a comprehen-sive comprehension of the interrelationships among blended learning programs, their efficacy, manufacturing organizations, and high-potential employees. This will be achieved through the integration of literature reviews, case studies, surveys, interviews, and meticulous data analysis.
