Employee training and development, and organizational learning are important for any organization. But how can you ensure that the time and effort invested into training employees will be worthwhile. With the many training and development options out there, it can be confusing when deciding the best way to make organizational learning objectives stick. Here are three tips to help you employees remember what they’ve been taught:

• Reinforce positive results and actions on the job with follow-up by supervisors and managers. Reinforce to supervisors the need to reinforce the training by checking periodically that it is being applied on the job.
• Make training and development straight forward. When employees see a clear plan and how it will benefit them and the organization they will be more likely to value what they learn and retain the information they have been taught.
• Practice – there’s a reason why there is the saying “practice makes perfect”. Allow employees the opportunity to practice the skills they learn in training sessions or seminars and do not expect them to get something right the first time. Allow for mistakes and offer corrective advice.
