Are You Training Effectively?

Chad Savoy

If you want to build (and keep!) a high-performing workforce, you need to commit to developing each employee from hire to retire. Not sure how to go about it? Here are a few ideas to get you started.

Connect employee development with learning

Show how the training you offer is relevant to development, and what's in it for each employee. Encourage individual growth with learning opportunities that clearly connect career paths with business goals.

Align learning with business goals

Your organization's productivity and profitability are directly affected by each employee's skills, knowledge and abilities. Support your long-term vision with employee development that's relevant to your organizational goals.

Deliver learning with expert content

Save time and resources by using expert-created content rather than trying to develop everything in-house.

Train to your audience

Employees expect learning resources to be intuitive and easy to use, so give them what they want. Online training systems are user friendly and provide access to learning material anywhere, any time.

Track progress and achievements

Automate tracking and reporting, and you'll minimize both risk and paperwork. You can ensure you're meeting your compliance requirements far more effectively than you can by using spreadsheets!

And have you given inside-out training a go yet? It's a fantastic way to develop and engage employees, just by making the most of experts you already have on staff. Come along to our webinar and see how to make it happen in your company.
