Maximizing Learning Transfer

No Comments, Uncategorized, by admin.

When I first came across this article the opening statement, “It’s not just what you know; it’s how you use what you know” that really struck me so I want to share this article with you. http://www.trainingmag.com/article/maximizing-learning-transfer Did you read the paragraph in the article about respondents applying knowledge on the job and how it is hard to prove that employees have learned what they need to learn?  One way to ensure knowledge transfer is through post-training testing.  An online learning management system, like intRAtrain™, can manage and track the testing portion of your training.  Try it out today; see how intRAtrain™ can make managing your training easier. 

I’ve always believed that employees enjoy their job more when they are given the tools and opportunity to advance.  And when you see the “boss” taking the same steps to further him/herself it’s reassuring.  A week ago, I came across this article that really focuses on that.  Hope you enjoy! http://www.trainingmag.com/article/creating-culture-lifelong-learning One of the easiest ways to empower employees to continue learning is to provide the opportunity to learn and grow.  One of the ways to accomplish this is through online learning.  Online learning can be delivered via an LMS that allows learning to occur on the employee’s schedule.  If you’re thinking about eLearning for your company, try intRAtrain LMS and TotalTrain for your course needs.

How important is a systematic approach to inspections and audits for your company? Can you afford not to “inspect what you expect” in SOP’s, GMP’s, food safety, HAACP plan compliance, and general safety? After reading the article, “But I thought it was being done- Inspecting the expected”, in Fastcasual.com, go to www.inspectiTRAC.com and learn about a new exciting tablet based system for automating and mobilizing the data collection process for inspections and audits. http://www.fastcasual.com/blog/7272/But-I-thought-it-was-being-done-Inspecting-the-expected?rc_id=237

Which company would you rather work for?  The one where training feels like an inconvenience, or the one where everyone is happy to be there and time flies because training is fun. Here is an article I came across the other day and just had to share. http://www.trainingmag.com/article/6-steps-creating-engaging-training-culture One of the ways to make training convenient is to offer it via eLearning on an LMS.  Training delivered via a Learning Management System allows those being trained the opportunity to take training on their schedule.  It also lets them go back and review when they want or need.  If you’re looking for a new LMS, take a look at intRAtrain.  It allows you to easily set-up, track, test and manage your training online.  Start today with a free trial.

It’s never a good sign if you are pulling out hair in frustration.  Here’s a little insight into what may be causing the LMS frustration and it may surprise you! http://www.trainingmag.com/article/lms-stressed If you are experiencing this dissatisfaction and are ready to try something new, I suggest you try intRAtrain LMS.  Our robust, easy-to-use system is ready for you to try today.
