Even in organizations where training and development priorities are closely aligned with business goals there’s plenty of room for improvement. So, the question is what barriers do we need to be overcome if training and development departments are to increase the value they add to workforce performance and productivity, and remain relevant? In this webinar we'll outline the 5 barriers to effective training and development programs and best practices for overcoming those barriers. 1. Efficiency - leveraging technology 2. Status Quo - inertia and risk aversion. 3. Convenience - throwing training at the problem and hoping it works. 4. Training Mindset - moving from a focus on training to performance. 5. Manager Support - managers are the single most important factor in improving employee performance. www.bizlibrary.com/webinars
