Big Problems, Quick Solutions...

Now is a difficult time to think strategically, but even just a few minutes considering the big picture can help.

BEFORE you try to improve your training content, you need to take care of these 4 things:

1. Standardize Work2. Create Documentation3. Map Out Goals4. Identify Restraints

How To Standardize Work.

Standardizing work means to make training universal. By eliminating variances in habits and practices, you will find yourself with a more unified and efficient group. To standardize work, make sure that a skill that people are using is being trained and performed the same way. This can be done through creating online trainings, resource materials or creating a curriculum for trainers to follow.

If work is standardized, the cost to train drops tremendously! And it doesn't mean you have to make your people into robots either. Standardizing work will ensure that everyone understands the established goals and the role they play in obtaining those goals.

How To Create Appropriate Documentation.

Once work has been standardized it should be well documented and easily accessible. This will ensure that people are well informed and canbe reminded of the training.

This will also solidify procedures and trainings for both management and employees. Through having universal and consistent training materials, management and employees will be better understanding of eachotherand the work they are accomplishing.

How To Map Out Goals Efficiently.

You need to know WHY you are training people. Otherwise your training willcost you a lot of money, and you'll see minimal results. Focus on the problem you are trying to solve instead of the training you want to give.

You can do this by making a detailed list of what you want to accomplish and set goals of how to accomplish them. Focus on the problem you’re tryingto solve. Try to be as realistic as possible.

How To Identify Restraints.

Whether it be budgets, software limitations, time, or locations, you need to know what your limitations will be before delivering training. Trainings can be extremely time consuming and expensive if you don’t know how to assess when it’s beneficial.

Find out how much your problems are costing you. What would you gainif a training was made? How much would you profit? Do you want to hiresomeone in-house or out-of-house? Answering these will help you know what direction to take in finding your perfect solution.
