Take the Stress Out of Training Your Team

You  spend hours and hours creating training materials for new hires, run in-depth training workshops, and what happens? New employees look bored and disengaged during orientation sessions – and then, once you let them loose to start their jobs, they tell you they feel unprepared, and they bombard you with questions that … you guessed it … you already answered during training! 

What’s going on?! 

The truth is that the way we traditionally handle onboarding – frontloading new employees with orientation meetings and tech trainings – doesn’t work for how humans learn. No, your new employees aren’t willfully ignoring or dissing all that effort  you put into planning and running training sessions. They’re just being human, and humans learn best when information is provided to them in small bits, just-in-time, in the context of a problem their brains are actively engaged in figuring out. 

So what’s the answer? 

1. Embed short bits of training information within your workflow documentation, so that employees can find the information they need, digest it quickly, and use it, right when they need it. 
2. Don’t have all your workflows documented? Never fear – several apps on the market help you quickly and easily capture the processes that keep your business moving and keep profits flowing. These apps allow you to embed help content for your employees in the form of text, audio, and video explanations – exactly where and when your employees need it.
