- Your Training is Literally Boring!!
Reading Time: 110 Seconds
Your employee productivity is really going down. You’ve been under pressure to solve the problem. You ask a few employees and confirm a reason, so you come up with a solution to provide new software.
You bring it in, hire the best trainer in the country and pay him your best to assure he trains them well.
So start thinking that you are providing THE BEST training for your employees. But, do your employees also think the same?
From my experience, it is not always like a fairy tale.
It is not simple to motivate your employees to take that training session. They may attend it by force, but what’s the point? They surely wouldn’t grab anything.
Anyways, why should they attend the training if you and your organization are the only ones benefiting?
But how do you ensure they are getting benefitted?
Here’s what you should consider
Talking to the employees
There is no point in isolating the employees from the training design. After all, the content is for them.
Do not assume their problems and therefore their solutions. Survey their needs very well before starting to create content.
The more they are involved in the process, the more they find the content to be relevant which eventually motivates them to take up the training.
Communicating Well
You create fantastic and extremely useful training content for your employees but how are they going to know ways it can help them?
Talk clearly and precisely to them about
What issues did you identify?
What content did you put up?
Why did you put them up?
How is it going to benefit them?
One useful hack is not just to show them task-based benefits, but also career benefits.
Use Mobile-Friendly LMS
How about getting your employees rid of traveling hassles, time management issues, and attention span problems?
Isn’t it a great way to motivate your employees by allowing them to learn anywhere at any time and at their own pace?
That is what mobile-friendly LMS allows you to do. The Learning Management System itself is a concept for online learning.
But if you make it mobile-friendly it is even easier to motivate your employees because learning is literally in their pocket!
Across —- organizations, I have given numerous training sessions. It did take me a while to learn that employees aren’t motivated up to the point if only you benefit or if learning seems like a task to them.
Reflection question for you
