Making Training Count: Part 3

This article is the final installment of a three part series

Be Prepared

It’s that old scout motto, but it applies to training as much as camping. Before sending employees to a training class, make sure they know and have met the prerequisites. A student who isn’t familiar with required prerequisites creates a frustrating experience for himself, the instructor and the other students. To make the most of training, ask for materials and advance. Encourage employees to review the materials and note their questions before they enter the classroom.

By boning up in advance, employees will be better able to participate. Active participation and note taking increases retention. The greatest benefit of instructor-led training is the instructor. Encourage your employees to take advantage of the training expert. They should ask work-related questions before class and during breaks. Sometimes the answers from this “free consulting” more than covers the training investment.

Keep Learning

Reinforcing learning after the training is essential for retention and practical application. Many companies require the employee to present an overview of the recent training to other employees during an informal lunch session in the company conference room.

At both of my companies, we hold weekly one-hour group learning sessions. In the sales group, employees on a rotating basis present one element from a sales process workshop. Role-playing follows. This simple process accomplishes several objectives. For the “teachers,” a thorough understanding of the material is essential. In role-playing, practical application is reinforced, which translates into measurable business results. Speaking of results, verify that the employees’ SMART goals were met during training.

Maximizing the learning experience requires knowing your outcome, being prepared and continuing to learn after your experience is finished.
