Employee Training: Ten Tips For Making It Really Effective
Whether you are a supervisor, a manager or a trainer, you have an interest in ensuring that training delivered to employees is effective. So often, organizations waste a lot of scarce resources in conducting training that serves no purpose other than to frustrate employees. You can turn around the wastage and worsening morale through following these ten pointers on getting the maximum impact from your training.
Soft Skills Training Seen as Needed More Then Ever
Corporate soft-skills training is increasing as companies are experiencing global growth and cross-cultural communications challenges. Getting a handle on effective training for some "old school" management-types can be even a greater challenge. As domestic and global markets change and employment dynamics shift, organizations need to be effective in how they roll out this type of training. A focus on interactive training can turn the "Knucklehearted" leader into someone that is magnetic and effective in influencing others.
WASTING YOUR TRAINING BUDGET
Until organizations move from “quick fix” training interventions to a willingness to define exact outcomes and engage in a long term process to reach those outcomes, most of the training budget will continue to be wasted.
What support should you get for your franchise
One of the most enticing reasons to buy into a franchise is the support the franchiser is able to offer. But just like any other industry, differences exist between organizations, and learning what to look for when shopping for a franchiser will be invaluable. Good franchise organizations offer a wide range of support, while weak ones do not. Whether it’s offering new buyers lengthy and detailed training or having access to franchisee owner organizations, finding a good support structure is a good sign the franchise is doing well. Here is a list of a few things you can look for when trying to determine if the franchise you’re interested in is committed to supporting new buyers.

Training People in an Empowered Organization
As organizations move to engage more employees in the business and empower them to take on more responsibility, there is a need for good training. This article outlines some key points to consider when training employees in an empowered organization.
Turning a Cinderella Training Course Into a thing of Beauty
Too many learners leave training programs as wise as when they went in! Some participants take away a few nuggets but frequently forget them in short order. This is particularly true in “soft skills training”. So if this is the case, why do organizations spend so much time, money and effort in providing employee training programs?
Traditional Sales Training is a Waste of Time and Money!
Traditional sales training is a waste of time and money because it does not work! In many organizations, sales training is the flavour of the month, with no consistency. Sales training conducted over one, two or three days, in-house or as a public seminar, is really a waste of time and money. Sure the motivation and a couple of sales training tips may be good for the next 30 -90 days, but if sales training techniques are not implemented within 24-48 hours of learning them, they are forgotten and the sales training becomes a waste of time and money.

Sales Training, without supporting Sales Management Training,
Many organizations invest in sales training which is wonderful but unfortunately, they do not invest or even consider supporting sales management training. Sales training will not be effective unless management is onboard. An organization will benefit from efficient use of time and get more “bang for your buck” with supporting sales management training.
Organizational Skill Development Pathways and Pitfalls
Despite clear evidence of the huge returns training provides, many organizations do far too little of it. Even within the training business, many companies are so wrapped up in operational pressures of maintaining today's cash flow that they neglect improvement efforts that build tomorrow's wealth. High performing organizations consistently invest from 3 - 5 percent of their payroll expenses in training. Many lesser performing companies fall well below that (1.5 percent of payroll should be the bare minimum level).

Why Most Training Fails
Most organizations use their training investments about as strategically as they deploy their office supplies spending. And the impact on customer satisfaction, cost containment or quality improvement is just as useless. One of the biggest causes of wasted training dollars is ineffective methods. Too often, companies rely on lectures ("spray and pray"), inspirational speeches or videos, discussion groups and simulation exercises.
