Episode 6
006 - When it comes to training, less talking is better for the goal of the training. After all, what's the goal of training? That an employee can DO something at the end of it. Is your training focused on just that goal of what the employee needs?
- Who's doing all of the talking in the training in your workplace?
- How do you transfer knowledge from process experts to new employees?
- What is the result of your training? Is it great, good, or not getting the results you want?
- What is training? It's not information sharing - it's about the planned utilization of information.
- What's the purpose of training? To allow people to choose to believe, understand, and DO things.
- If you want help with your training, I've got a program I'm working to release. Go to worksmartlovepeople.com/podcast to receive updates... AND to receive a remarkably simple guide to start new employees strong in their first week with your company - every time.
- Is your training good? Is it mapped out to focus on the 3-5 things that a person in a role needs? Is it relentlessly simple? Is it question-driven and does it allow the employee to choose to learn?
