Training and development are important to the support the continued growth and success of a company, especially those businesses that are dependent on employee talent. I liked that you stressed the importance of educating their personnel to ensure business goals are met and assure continued success. At the end of the speech you could relate the importance of training to the CEO, by asking how training might benefit their organization.<br />MikeMichaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15991592988238203005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5307754712042535027.post-67526969737668455082012-03-04T23:12:20.844-05:002012-03-04T23:12:20.844-05:00Great point Tara,

Creating training in platforms and using technology that we use everyday can make training fun and exciting. Asynchronous learning environments such as LMS' and podcasts/webcasts would be a great way to engage learners.Audreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07882059506145649979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5307754712042535027.post-12536292588258620532012-03-03T21:16:05.314-05:002012-03-03T21:16:05.314-05:00You could not be more on target when you made the ...You could not be more on target when you made the statement within your blog this week about it not being an easy feat to create training. To piggy-back on this, I will venture to say that the development of training is not something everyone or just anyone can do. Training is, often, unsuccessful when it is developed and delivered by those who are not equipped in the first place. Unfortunately, with this said, employee's poor performance is not laid on the doorstep of accidental training professionals.Tara K.

I do not think that many people outside of the field appreciate the complexity of developing effective training strategies that are linked to business goals and outcomes. It is not simply a matter of telling people what you know. It is something that can support the continued growth and success of an organization. I also think your elevator speech was effective at highlighting the central importance of the learner. You effectively make the link between the importance of employee training to successful business outcomes, and to maintaining an engaged workforce. People may believe that monetary incentives drive productivity and employee engagement. They may be shocked to hear how training can play a central role in keeping staff motivated. I think that if I were on the elevator with you, I would definitely want to hear more about this benefit of training and how you might help my program.Alexis Williamshttp://takehomemessages.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5307754712042535027.post-88674043464089065702012-03-03T14:52:00.912-05:002012-03-03T14:52:00.912-05:00Hi Audrea,

You covered the topic for the trainee's point of view, the trainer,while stressing the benefits to all stakeholders. According to Noe (2010) in order for a company to gain a competitive advantage it should view training broadly as a way to create intellectual capital. Maybe if everyone in the company (including) the workers embraced the concept of training increasing and enhancing their intellectual capital training would be viewed more positively.Celia Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00071742858253903500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5307754712042535027.post-70949938658731968692012-03-03T13:49:00.662-05:002012-03-03T13:49:00.662-05:00Hi Audrea,

Most employees though do groan at the thought of sitting through another lenghty training session. So to keep the employees engaged, the training needs to be relevant and meaningful. Cross training may also help keep dissatisfied employees engaged as it will allow them to further develop their talent / skills and apply them to new positions (Noe, 2010). I think more employees would look forward to training if they knew it had the potential to led to growth within the company.D.
