Explanation And Argument: Instructional Designers, Know The Difference

Employees Dread Training? Making Employee Training And Development Engaging

Picture it: It’s time for employee training and development at work. You're in a board room with a handful of your colleagues, struggling to stay awake as a trainer slowly progresses through a PowerPoint presentation. This particular session is about a new software tool you're going to use for work in three months. Your mind keeps drifting as the trainer's monotone voice starts to ring hollow in your ears, and your colleagues are starting to nod off. Unfortunately for many working people, this is an all-too-familiar scenario. The idea of having to sit through another boring training session probably doesn't get their blood pumping. And when they get to that session, they're likely to have their eyes glued to their phones, checking the latest football scores.

Training Employees According To Their Learning Style

If you want to train employees effectively, you need to be aware of who you're training. At the end of the day, the goal of training employees is to increase knowledge so that they can complete their tasks more effectively – but every employee is different. When using online training software, it’s even more important to remember that each person learns differently, so you need to build your learning content accordingly.
