Continuous employee education is crucial to the personal growth of employees on one hand and organizational success on the other. The process of learning and education does not stop, even during emergencies such as the epidemic. Thus, organizations must adapt as best and as quickly as possible to external conditions and implement educational processes for their employees as efficiently and smoothly as possible. By understanding the learning process and the concept of knowledge, an organization can create a quality environment in which employees can use their full potential, motivate employees and, finally, influence the success of learning outcomes and knowledge transfer. Informal education is a key mechanism for personal and professional development of an employee in the organization. In my master's thesis, I researched the impact of education method transformation at the Employment Service of Slovenia during the COVID-19 epidemic on education quality, employee motivation for education and employee participation in the education process. The key goal of the master's thesis is therefore to show the advantages and disadvantages of informal distance education and to suggest or propose solutions for such a change. The findings from the questionnaire analysis show that the quality did not deteriorate despite the shift of the educational process from the classroom to the internet. I also found that the motivation of participants in distance education is not lower than in live education in the classroom. The analysis also shows that changes in the educational structure and process affect the active participation of employees and that most employees prefer live education.
