COURSE DESCRIPTION: Each year the average company spends around $1,000 per employee on training. But according to decades of academic research, 80% of that investment goes right down the drain because the training doesn’t stick.
Studies show that “Training transfer” – the amount of learning that ever gets applied productively on the job – is only about 20% thirty days after a learning event. This means that your managers are spending a lot of time teaching new skills and behaviors to their people, who are quickly forgetting most of what they learned. It means you’re sending employees to onsite or offsite training events and they’re returning to work pumped up to make huge changes that will impact their results. For a week or two you see a spike in performance – but 30 days later people revert back to their old behaviors and results flat-line.
This is disturbing news for HR executives, training professionals and line managers who believe in the value of training and feel pressure to demonstrate a high return on investment for every training dollar spent.
The good news is that if you understand why training doesn’t stick, you can turn the 80/20 rule on its head. That’s right, you can make most training stick.
This 60-minute Webinar by training expert Carol Hacker will:
- Identify the number one reason that training doesn’t stick
- Reveal what researchers state is the secret to dramatically increasing knowledge retention after training events
- Explain the important role managers and supervisors must play
- Describe the “4 Rs Method” for conducting effective follow-up after training events
- Demonstrate why improving knowledge retention is the key to increasing your organization’s commitment to training investment in the future.
