By Daniel Butcher<\/a><\/p>\n

For employee training sessions to be effective, it\u2019s crucial for employees to be briefed on the objectives and the benefits of actively participating with a positive mindset.<\/p>\n

Academy of Management Scholar Quinetta Roberson<\/a> of Michigan State University said that before scheduling an employee training session, leaders should think through the pre-training process carefully.<\/p>\n

\u201cUsually, in the pre-training environment, employees get something that says, \u2018You have to go through training,\u2019 but it doesn\u2019t tell them why they\u2019re going through it, how to prepare for it, or how it\u2019s going to help them and make them more effective employees,\u201d Quinetta said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat really is important for people\u2019s motivation to learn, to be able to say, \u2018This training is going to be valuable to you; if you\u2019re going to take four hours out of your busy day, this is how that\u2019s going to benefit you\u2014here are the benefits that you\u2019re going to realize,\u2019\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt least say, \u2018There are the learning goals; here are some things you should get out of this training,\u2019 because then they start to focus a bit more on what they should be getting out of this four-hour training period, or whatever the time period may be.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a best practice to let employees know that their lack of knowledge of a particular subject won\u2019t be held against them, and that they should feel free to speak their minds and make mistakes. Make it clear that leaders don\u2019t expect perfection but do want employees to participate actively and seek opportunities for learning.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the training event itself, we give certain suggestions for how to make the training more engaging, reflective, and useful to people; for example, a lot of training does not allow mistakes or errors,\u201d Roberson said. \u201cFor one organization, all employees were required to go through online sexual harassment training , and in the post-training assessment if you push the wrong thing, it just says, \u2018No, that’s wrong,\u2019 and it just allowed people to get through the training as long as they got whatever percentage correct that they needed in order for the organization to be compliant.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut instead, why not experiment with behaviors give participants an opportunity to experiment with different scenarios and ask, \u2018How would you address this scenario?\u2019 and let them have a safe space to actually wrestle with that?\u201d she said. \u201cBecause then when they get out into the real world, they feel confident that whatever situations arrive, they’re able to deal with them.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
