Many business wners today don't train their staff because the knowledge garnered from the trainings are almost not used.
This is understandable because the new knowledge gained is alien and people are comfortable with norms.
When a training is conducted and the knowledge acquired is not used. It's entirely the fault of the management team.
As a business, the trainings that doesn't solve a challenge or meet a need should not be attended and when the staff attends a training,
It must have internal systems to check the knowledge garnered by creating questionnaires, feedback forms to be filled by the staff that have attended these trainings.
This questionnaire and feedback forms must show how the trained staff intend to deliver the new knowledge and the needed tools required to deliver.
Always know you can create a system to apply acquired knowledge. For us as an education strategy enterprise with special focus on training management, we don't just train, we follow-up to ensure effective knowledge application.
After the trainings, what's next?
Within the past couple of days and weeks, we have had the rare privilege of training some staff, management team jointly and or independently within Lagos, Ogun and it's environs.
While we are still open for more trainings, we want to appreciate everyone here who engaged us, trusted us with their staff to share from our worth of training experience.
After these trainings, what's next?!
As humans, we must know that new knowledge is hard to accept especially if it will cause us to change or shift from our comfort zone.
So, its important that we expect that the Peter's Principle where people will be promoted to the point of incompetence will emerge.
Expect that the positive energy that the trainings have brought will last for a week or two and gradually, with the immersion of work, people will sink into their old ways.
Probably not all, but many will.
So, again I ask, after these trainings what's next?!
What's next?
Well! All that's needed to be done is appraisal to ensure consistency and knowledge application.
And this can be done in two or maybe three ways.
1⃣ Re-engage the person or company that trained your team to design an appraisal template and let them use it to appraisal your team after three or four weeks of the training.
2⃣ Your Management team can design their own appraisal template and use it to engage the entire workforce
3⃣ You can engage the company to design the template and let your management team use it on the entire team
In all, the ball is in your court now dear business owner to ensure that the new knowledge count, to ensure that the money spent count.
Like the biology theory of Jean Lamarck says, a body part (knowledge) that's used become effective and the body part (knowledge) not used becomes ineffective.
Therefore, to make sure the new knowledge is effectively used, there must be appraisal, re- evaluation of the trained team.
You can't train once and leave the people to themselves without appraisal and re-evaluation. This is your job, do it
I believe in your success
