The term ‘transfer of training’ is often described as the process by which an organization’s leadership ensures that the required knowledge, skills, and attitudes of its employee force are readily transferred from a learning and incubation environment to actual beneficial changes in the field, on an everyday basis.
Such training is generally linked to the overall goals and aims Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5378334695369384801.post-19512259092828740352016-10-30T12:05:00.000-07:002016-10-30T12:05:29.768-07:00Not All Habits Are Bad
Neuroscientists explain that not all habits are bad. The good ones allow you to function more efficiently…like driving to work without having to review the directions each time. They save both your time and energy.
New research by the University of California helps us understand, however, how the bad habits sometimes take over our activities and why they are so hard to break.

As experts in the field of talent management and the transfer of training, we know that the adage that you can’t teach an “old dog” new tricks is only partially true.

The transfer of training to the job is predicated by having motivated and engaged participants.
At some clients, training has about as much allure as fighting with a shark. Leaders scoff because they don’t see real value and employees resent having to take time away from their high-pressure and under-staffed jobs with no clear payoff. This, then, becomes our challenge as a business consulting Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5378334695369384801.post-40348018002164453052016-06-29T06:30:00.000-07:002016-06-29T06:30:20.043-07:00When You Really Want the Transfer of Training to Occur
When you really want people to learn, the secret is simple:
engage their emotions. Connect to a person’s emotion through knowing what turns
them on and they will have a far deeper and more meaningful learning
experience.

Learning should be both…a means and an end.
That was pretty clear when you were in school. You learned in order to progress through the different classes until you reached your desired graduation level.
Once you were on your own and in a working environment, however, the purpose of learning shifted a bit. You could pursue learning for your own pleasure as well as for advancement.

Sure, learning can be accomplished in a classroom and then applied on the job. But how about not confining your idea of learning to a classroom setting but thinking in terms of learning on-the-job in the workplace?
You can take charge of your own learning and development right where you work and during your regular work day.

The transfer of training…if only it were as simple as the graphic above implies! Here you have four workers all in one place who are willing both to give and to receive learning from one another. And that’s only the beginning of the process.

As much as we may resolve to adopt new habits, we often fail. According to numbers from the Statistic Brain Research Institute, unless you have a plan to succeed, only 8% of us are actually successful in implementing our New Year’s resolutions. The other 92% may be sincere on January 1st but lack the discipline, lose the motivation, get discouraged, and fail well before year’s end.

If only the transfer of learning to on-the-job application were as easy as pouring facts from the brain of an instructor into the brain of a student. It is, however, a far more complex process to change behavior and performance.

If only learning were a simple matter of filling the brain with information. What really counts is not the amount of knowledge or skill one accumulates but how often and how proficiently one uses it.

The making and breaking of habits have been studied backwards, forwards and sideways. Behavioral expert Gretchen Rubin in her book Better Than Before: Mastering the Habits of Our Everyday Lives adds a somewhat new perspective. She claims that:

Let’s assume you have done an effective job of defining
which skills are needed on the job to succeed, you have identified the critical
few skill gaps for each team member, and you have a targeted program in place

Motivation alone is not enough. It may be the initial spur to action (like the possibility of money in the picture above) but you are bound to falter toward your goal unless you have the necessary accompaniment…commitment.

There are many different reasons and ways to learn. Some improve long-term performance and others do not.
For example, you can just stuff your brain with stuff as many do in order to pass a test. While there are valid reasons for this, this kind of learning is typically short-lived.
