There's a good chance that your corporate training program isn't up to snuff. Companies might think they have adequate training initiatives for new and continuing employees covering multiple functions. Too often, though, their efforts are falling short. The failure to properly train one's workforce can result in billions of dollars of lost profits from insurance claims, worker's compensation, medical visits, time off work and lawsuits both inside and outside the organization. On this episode, Carol Leaman, chief executive officer of Axonify, talks about what constitutes an effective training program. She answers a number of key questions: What should you be teaching your employees? What are the most effective tools with which accomplish that? How can you make them want to learn?
