# Corporate Trainings By:: [[Ross Jackson]] 2023-07-06 Efforts at corporate training tend to start poorly. Often it is clear that the point of corporate training is to get through it to get credit for getting through it. If the training covers some minor policy change or is little more than an announcement, this approach works well enough. If the training covers something more complex, it is doubtful that this approach will work well. Corporate training can resemble a decathlon in which its participants emerge almost entirely broken from experience. What is an alternative? Corporate training benefits from an appreciation and focus on how people learn rather than what is most efficient to administer. It is more efficient to bring everybody in at one time and make them ingest all the information in one sitting. This isn’t how people learn. Rather, people learn in small increments. It takes time. It takes focus. Developing targeted corporate training programs in digestible increments is essential to real learning. If organizations are truly committed to employee development, they will adopt an approach aligned to human learning, not organizational efficiency. For those engaged in providing corporate learning, it is always immediately clear what the priority is. Employees also intuit the focus, which likely explains why corporate training seldom improves organizational performance. #### Related Items [[Education]] [[Organization]] [[Development]] [[Performance]] [[Learning]] [[Business]] [[Efficiency]]
