Improvement

Assessment with targeted
resources
Our team personality assessment identifies
information specific to the individual and provides short, to the
point information on that topic. They will see and understand not
only themselves better, but they will better understand other team
members and how different communication style are needed for the
overall success of the team.
This method greatly reduces the amount of time an employee
spends away from being productive as it provides concentrated information.
This employee focused resource eliminates the typical "mental
dropout", that loss of attention that most online training
suffers from.
Training
Training is effective only if people use it and our
over 30 years of experience shows that not all people learn using
the same methods. That's why we can make it available based on your
company's needs and people. Our expertise in training started with
classroom-based education. Creating classes and seminars designed
for an instructor to present to the attendees.
Back in the late '90's we realized that using the internet
to deliver training would be the future and we began doing exploratory
work to learn for ourselves how to develop and deliver educational
material. Technology has help bring dramatic, flexible changes to
teaching methods.
Not every employee learns the same way, some would rather
take online modules while others learn best from being in a classroom
and being able to interact with the instructor and other attendees.
Having choices can make a difference.
Instructor led
We
should all be familiar with instructor led training, but it can
be presented a few different ways. One being face-to-face, which
due to the current health concerns may not be the best. There is
also instructor led online, details below, which addresses the health
concerns but may not be the best since some topics may be lengthy
and need to be split up to address the attendee's attention span.
Instructor
led with online
Having an instructor present online does help
address the current health concerns but does have its limits and
downside. The limiting factor is keeping attendee's interest, so
to avoid "losing them" during a session, the training
is broken up into smaller modules, typically an hour or less.
The downside can be that some people need/prefer to interact
with the instructor and not all training online allows this to happen,
so some people never get to ask the questions they have.
Online
Total online training has pro's and cons. Some of the
pro's include, it can be available 24/7 making training very flexible
to meet most schedules. Online modules are not lengthy, < 20
minutes, so the likely hood of losing an attendee's attention is
reduced. Attendees can also complete several modules at a single
sitting.
Some cons include, no instructor interaction. Attendees
may "drop-out" if something isn't understood and there
is no instructor to ask live. Questions can be addressed through
emails, but often those questions are never asked. Topics are broken
into smaller modules which may make a topic seem longer since it
may have numerous modules.
