Basic training design principles


TL;DR

  • Keep job training simple, repetitive, and use feedback to get the most out of it, it doesn’t have to be complicated or fancy.

Notes

  • Training should be:
    • Continuous
      • Always be learning, if your training stops after onboarding, you are severely limiting your organization’s potential (and your employee’s personal growth!)
    • Accessible
      • It shouldn’t be a hassle to conduct or review
    • Performance focused
      • Don’t just teach, get them to actually perform
      • If it’s a simple task, at least 50 repetitions is needed to be proficient
    • Supported by leaders
      • If leaders don’t see the value, why would anyone support it or try to follow along? Leaders likely won’t do the training properly anyways.
    • A safe space
      • For questions, trying new things, and learning without judgment.
  • Amount of training by type
    • On-the-job training – 70%
    • Social learning/ other training – 20%
    • Formal videos/ programs – 10%
