Guidelines to consistent, ongoing employee training and development programs.

1. Guidelines to Develop Consistent and
Ongoing Employee Training Programs
BITE-SIZE TRAINING
AND DEVELOPMENT

2. Bite-Size Training
Employers need to develop employee training within the framework of a
comprehensive, ongoing, and consistent program.
This guide will cover three important advantages of using bite-size training
to deliver results:
• Retention
• Reinforcement
• Cost & Tracking

3. RETENTION

4. RETENTION
The human mind retains information when the material is concise and com-pressed
into shorter spans of time. Many training methods try to take a
long period of time and cover every possible solution to every outcome.
But this exhausts the mind, limiting the amount of information that your em-ployees
retain.
Instead, if the mind is able to focus on a
few key takeaways in smaller amounts of
time, it can successfully retain and store
the important information.

5. REINFORCEMENT

6. REINFORCEMENT
A portion of this is achieved through coaching activities, which reinforce learning on
a day-to-day basis and support the company culture. This helps drive organization-al
developments which lead to improved performance.
Organizations that continuously learn and innovate will be able to maintain their
competitive advantage.
Reinforce the core values and competencies which
define success for your team on a consistent,
easily-digestible basis.

7. COST AND TRACKING

8. COST AND TRACKING
According to studies, companies typically spend 85% of their budget for train-ing
events on the actual event, even though only 24% of training results occur
during that stage.
Without proper emphasis on retention and preparation, the training event will not
have enough positive effect to justify its cost.
There are major cost benefits to
training in shorter, bite-size sessions.
