Managers make training stick
Article Abstract:
Managers must realize that their input plays a critical part in making employee training programs work. Training programs will not be utilized in the actual workplace unless employees are taught how to use the skills learned. Managers should meet with their subordinates and explain the relevance of training to actual work. During training, employees should not be distracted with other details which may impede learning. Managers should then stimulate employees to use their newly acquired skills after the training.

Employee training can be made more beneficial if employers establish a detailed plan on how to go about the training period.

Employers are also advised to come up with an outline of the employee's responsibilities and tasks. It is equally important for employers to follow a particular timetable to conduct training sessions.
