Training Through A New Lens

A company's learning & development is the reflection of a company's culture and state of health. Consider how training or lack of, impacts your business:

• Onboarding - The first impression a company makes with a new hire is onboarding. Is your company's onboarding like drinking through a fire hose with overwhelming amount of information? Is the training dry and lack the impression you want employees to have about your company?

• Employee Growth & Succession - Do you offer upskill training so that employees can be prepared to take on additional responsibilities and grow within the company?

• Leadership - The #1 reason people leave their current job is their supervisor. Are your supervisors equipped with the tools to be successful in their role? Do they reflect the culture of your organization? Do they truly lead or simply manage?

• Functional - Do you pull your best people off the floor to train others? Do you overwhelm staff with training or even worse, provide no training because you think the work is simple or "intuitive"?

• Compliance - Consider the amount of money spent to develop/update compliance training annually, plus the amount of time staff takes to complete the training. But if the training is not well designed, consider the greater risk/responsibility a company is liable for if an incident occurs that could have been prevented with proper training.
