Business training and development is an integral part of maximizing team talents, streamlining processes, increasing innovation and growth, and creating a positive and successful organizational environment.

However, most employee training and development programs fall significantly short of their goals, yielding only 20-30% information retention and skill application.

Since the U.S. spends $142 Billion annually on training with 53.8 avg. hours of training per employee per year, this results in nearly $113 Billion training dollars wasted in the U.S. every year, and almost 43 hours per employee per year wasted in the average organization.*

Must we accept training as a “necessary evil” with weak and disappointing results? Or are there aspects of training we can pinpoint using educational psychology and neuroscience to maximize results?

In the following slides, we introduce the 8 MISTAKES OF INEFFECTIVE EMPLOYEE DEVELOPMENT AND TRAINING.
