The Training Landscape Today

So many changes, so little time.  Small business training challenges are why we started Training Advisors!  With all of the changes in training, small business managers have to adapt quickly.  Between the challenges of time, trends, relevancy, and follow-up you have a lot going on.  We teach you the most current and time efficient ways to make sure training time is used wisely.

Challenges of Time

Until someone figures out how to shove more hours into a day or create a cool "pause" button for time, most small businesses have a hard time creating Learning & Development programs that are time efficient.  Managers have tons of jobs that suck up their time. Things like hiring sorcerer, daily task juggler, schedule request granter, customer relations guru, cross department mediator, meeting monitor, and a host of other things that take up their time in a single day.  

Challenges to Stay Current

Training trends move rapidly as new technology and learning research continues.  Managers and businesses have to keep up with their own field of expertise and diverting attention to learn new training trends is usually not a top priority.

Challenges for Relevancy

Training is most effective when it is relevant to the learner's task & knowledge level.  Managers struggle with figuring out how to get the info out of their head and into a training course that ramps up the newbie.  Managers want to throw the kitchen sink into their training because they haven't developed skills to edit or layer training that creates a better training experience. In the end, the learner learns less and the managers waste more time on retraining.  Learn to do it right the first time.

Challenges to Follow-Up

We told you how to do it (that one time in training), now go off and be wonderful. Said. No. One. Ever.  

Managers rarely design follow up inside their own training programs.  Yet, reinforcement is the most important follow up to training.  Managers are often not educated on building the right reinforcement training plan to keep the information top of mind and to allow for additional reps with new skills.  Let us teach you how to create reinforcement training that doesn't bog down the manager.
