We all understand the importance of developing our people and many companies believe a better result is achieved using external providers, but how do you ensure the training sticks?

Investing in your people ensures future success for the company but many senior managers see and experience the training investment being lost as the team member returns to work after attending training and nothing changes.

To ensure you get solid ROI on your training investment you need to ensure there is behavioural change and that your investment brings returns to the company through improved employee performance.

There area a number of factors to consider to ensure behavioural change;

  1. Are you giving the employee the opportunity and authority to use the new skills they have learnt?
  2. Have you provided the right work environment for the employee to utilise their new skills?
  3. Have you provided suitable professional coaching that reinforces and supports the change you are seeking?
  4. Are you holding the employee accountable for following through with change?

In order to make training stick you need to support the employee, but equally important the employee must take control and as a company and effective leader you must hold them accountable to change.

When you combine all the above factors, the behavioural change and workplace changes are significantly improved and the ROI for your training investment increases significantly.
