Hi Ken,

If you are up to it, let’s talk over the phone so I can learn more about the training you do and help you work through how the supervisors can take that training back to their employees. I have a few ideas such as “teach backs,” action planning, etc. But would prefer to learn more first. You can reach me at 603 471-3864, or I’d be happy to call you if you’d prefer that. In which case, just respond back via my Contact Form: http://www.ginaabudi.com/contact/.

Best regards,
Gina

We have training sessions once per month for supervisors. They have asked how do I take this training back to my teams. Does anyone have any suggestions on how training learned in the classromm can be taken back to the employees on the job? This is a janitorial setting.
Thanx,
Ken Turley

Gina-all I can say is thank you, thank you, thank you. This post is so well written and says so succinctly what I’ve been trying to say in my organization but it seems as if no one is listening. The perception of “training” in my org. is similar to others. Let’s send a team member away to training for a period of time and wa la instant behavior change with no work on anyone’s part but the facilitator. This post beautifully outlines that most of the work is done by the manager. I believe that this is where the perception comes from that “training” is not effective in most organizations including mine. I’ve printed this article and am going to circulate it and hope that I can build a comprehensive plan to make this work. You are a God send!

Hi Lima,

Glad you found this article of value to you. Good luck writing up your report – I have no doubt you will find lots of interesting information out there regarding measuring and evaluating training programs. I have written up a few case studies on this site regarding business impact and ROI of training programs – just search under categories for ROI.

Hi Hari,

The Training Evaluation Pocketbook was written by Paul Donovan and John Townsend. The publisher is Management Pocketbooks LTD. You can purchase it through Amazon. A great reference – easy read. Other pocketbooks I have, and find worthwhile are, Competencies Pocketbookk by Roger Mills and Training Needs Analysis Pocketbook by Paul Donovan and John Townsend. Thanks for reading!
