The Top 10 Methods for Maximizing Training ROI

For many companies, training is a financial black hole. Billions of dollars are spent each year in the U.S. alone. What is the payback? Here are some proven tips to improve the bang for your training buck!

1. Make training fun!
Numerous studies support what we all know! Learning can be fun!

2. Create opportunities for participants to immediately use new skills on the job and create opportunities for spaced repetition. Practice makes perfect. Remember your multiplication tables? Bet you still know (7 X 8) off the top of your head.

3. Encourage discussion.
The instructor doesn't know it all. The best answer or practice is usually in the room.

4. Most learning occurs informally.
Recognize this and use mentoring and buddy systems whenever applicable. Integrate informal learning opportunities into all training programs.

5. Training must be timely and relevant.
Sounds simple but often overlooked. Training value increases if participants feel their time is considered valuable!

6. Quality of learning is greatly impacted by the environment.
Visible, top management support is critical.

7. Relate the importance of training to achievement of individual and organizational goals. Put your money where your mouth is. Leverage rewards, incentives and recognition programs to support learning initiatives.

8. Make it real.
Cutting edge training organizations spend most of their resources creating "live" learning opportunities.

9. Clarify expectations and ground rules at first session.
Make sure process goes both ways so instructor hits the mark and participants take it seriously.

10. Encourage feedback.
Getting everyone involved in this process will increase organizational support, visibility and commitment.
