This document discusses the importance of training for reducing turnover, improving workplace safety, and increasing productivity. It provides statistics on the costs of turnover, workplace injuries, and lost productivity due to disengaged employees. It then discusses how increasing training hours can help decrease turnover rates, consumer complaints, and injury frequency while increasing estimated annual savings. The document advocates developing a comprehensive training program by assessing organizational culture and goals, identifying competency needs, selecting appropriate content and delivery methods, gaining leadership support, and monitoring key performance indicators and return on investment.

Editor's Notes
What will your company culture support?
What is capacity of the organization’s leaders to lead the development and implementation of a training Program?
What are the business drivers that drive the economic engine of your company? How does your company produce value for its customer? How does your customer measure your company’s performance
Leadership and support from the owners and senior leaders of your company is critical.
How closely aligned is the training Program to your company’s organizational goals?
Assess organization culture and attitudes toward training and development of employees.
Company business drivers, key strategies and organizational goals.
Training Program success is dependent on alignment with organization goals.
The process starts by assessing the current situation and defining the scope of the training Program?
Needs Assessment:
Defining the Scope of Training - What is scope of the training program?
Strategic – encompassing all job families and training needs
Tactical – focusing on filling training gaps for skill development, compliance, or linked to an organizational goal(s)
What are the job families/position types to be trained?
Training Content:
What are position core competencies & development levels?
Documenting job tasks of each job family and position
Safety hazards based on Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) – affected and Authorized
Food safety and security, quality and GMP’s requirements
What are the training content requirements?
Writing behavior descriptors for each performance standard (what must the employee know or be able to demonstrate?)
Mapping competencies to existing training content
Identify gaps in existing training content
Determine training content sourcing and/or development needed to fill gaps and meet learning requirement
Define how employee knowledge and demonstrated job skills will be measured
The process starts by assessing the current situation and defining the scope of the training Program?

Delivery System Consideration:
Impact on knowledge and skill development, retention, and application
Learning style preferences
Importance of engaging students in active learning environment
Infrastructure limitations and access considerations
Impact on production scheduling and productivity
So what are the five elements of a Great Training Experience
Individual learning - eLearning modules, videos
Computer kiosks in learning lab or Program floor
Tablets, smart phones
Classroom and Workshop:
Instructor led
Facilitator led using training media with audio
RF keypad technology to check-for-knowledge and testing
What Elements of a Great Training Experience? There are five that make up efficient and effective learning. The first is…
If any element is missing, then the training will not achieve its potential. However, there is more to the equation. Even great training has to be reinforced in the organizations work environment. This equation shows the reality. If the work environment does not support the application of skills, then the business results are zero. We will discuss more about this later on.
When the five elements are optimized, and the training is great, what should it actually do?
