Workplace Change Ahead
How do we create training opportunities that are truly transformational? From a workplace perspective, a transactional approach to training can be both a waste of money
and even damaging in the long term. When budgets are tight, one of the early sacrifices is often the
training budget. Training is sometimes seen as a nice to have, rather than a need. Part of the problem
is that training is often transactional. People go into a training room, they learn skills, they go back to work and are expected to adopt the new skills often in isolation, and retention is mired by the busyness of their role and other distractions.
