The start of a New Year is a great time to plan your training goals for 2007. As you decide upon the direction that your organization will take this year, don’t forget to consider the impact any changes will have on your people. Changes in your organization may call for training and development of your team members. Consider whether you will hire outside resources or you will use the developed skills of individual team members to train others. If they require instruction on how to train, please check out the Tools for Business “Training for Results” workshop.

See the TIPS section below for some general guidelines for training in the workplace. And remember – training is a retention strategy! Not only will it help people do a better job, it will help you keep them in their job

Tips

Training Adults, from “Training for Results”

1. Set learning objectives. Adult learners need to know where they are headed and how everything in a workshop fits together.

2. Be flexible. Everyone has a different style of learning. Find out who your students are and structure lesson plans to suit their learning styles.

3. Facilitate learning. Help trainees merge what you are teaching with what they already know so they are better able to retain and apply it.

4. Practice “learner-centred” training. Help your learners set goals for themselves and facilitate their journey in reaching them.

5. Keep your content clear and simple. Teach in everyday language and define all concepts upfront for the best learning outcomes.
