The four (4) stages of successful HRD Training

• Pre-Training

• Training

• Learning

• Application

NOTE:  Training is no longer a Broadway show. In fact, the time focus on the actual day of training is 10% of the entire training process:

• Properly assessing the needs of the client during the pre-training stage must be the focus.  This is the only way that we, as HRD specialists, can help our customers enjoy high ROI

• The fact that someone ‘heard’ the concepts does not mean that that person successfully processed the information and learned from the new knowledge. Therefore this stage of training must be properly tested to ensure quality learning

• Finally, knowledge is a stored concept until it can be applied effectively to one’s personal life, one’s job and so forth

Our job as HRD professionals is to ensure the successful outcomes of all aspects of the training process.
