SUMMARY:Scientifically Proven Tools and Tactics for More Effective Training
DESCRIPTION:Lectures\, job shadowing\, recorded and remote training are not the best way to train new team members\, because working adults do not learn the same way that full-time students do. In this interactive session\, Kurt Thompson of IrriTech Training outlines the principles of effective training. He’ll discuss training to fit the employee’s level of understanding\, providing the right quantity of information\, and delivering the information using a five-point outline so learners know how the new information will benefit them in the execution of their new jobs.
