All too often training becomes the scapegoat for under performing employees.  Training definitely helps to develop knowledge and skill sets but in order to be truly effective there has got to be follow-up.  Coaching is the best way to transfer training into actual skills back on the job.  Managers have got to be involved whether employees are learning something new or if there’s a performance problem.  Accountability for learning and training is definitely lacking.  By incorporating some simple follow-up techniques and setting the stage for training employees will be successful, managers will know if the issue is truly training or willingness and the organization will benefit altogether.  So glad you will be sharing this with your team!

This is what every trainer wishes the managers would remember. I don't know how many times I get calls or emails from managers asking if I trained their employess on one specific skill or attempt to their problem children back to training. I try to gently remind them that, yes I did train their employees and no, they cannot come back for more training on something they already know how to do. It is up to the manager to coach their employees by holding them accountable for what they learned in training. By combining training and coaching, we can nurture effective employees. As a trainer, my position in not about results but about knowledge. Managers need to turn that knowledge into skill through coaching. Thanks again for great reminder. I'll be forwarding this to all my (ahem) managers. Awesome! This is what every trainer wishes the managers would remember.
