Dear HR Executive:
Every once in a while you hear a really great idea that you can't wait to share with others. Ideas with "aha" value. Ideas that connect dots and give you instant clarity on something that's eluded you. Ideas you feel you can implement today and that will make a difference in your organization.
We heard a really great one about employee development recently; specifically, about why so many of us are frustrated when we spend big bucks training employees but the training doesn't stick. The twist here is that when employees fail to retain skills, become demotivated, or fall back into bad habits, it's not their fault. When training fails, it's the manager's fault. And there's a training technique -- almost universally ignored -- that can help you improve training retention immensely.
We gift-wrapped this powerful idea for you in what we call a "Quick Take" -- a seven-minute audio PowerPoint presentation. Access it free by following this link: Why 95% of Training Doesn't Stick -- and What You As a Manager Can Do About It. It'll pop up on your computer screen. Just sit back and listen.
But do me one favor. On the last slide, there's a link to a 15-second evaluation form. I'd really appreciate it if you'd fill it out and let us know what you thought. We really -- and I mean really -- value feedback from our thoughtful HR Cafe readers.
One final note: Those who have seen this Quick Take keep telling us they've been using it to kick off discussion in meetings. If you like it, you might consider doing the same -- using it as a developmental tool for your managers and supervisors.
Click here to learn why training doesn't stick. Enjoy the presentation.
