Why training does not guarantee results

with 3 comments

It’s a common scenario. HR practitioners spend precious dollars on training in hopes of achieving specific behaviours, and yet when the training sessions are over,  employees just lapse back into their old habits.

So why is it that training often does not lead to the desired outcomes? The reason is because there is no change in employees’ thinking, says James Irvine, director of Egyii.

In this video, Irvine talks about how our thinking affects our behaviours and what we can do to control our thoughts.

  1. NOthing new! Another ra-ra: “It is always somebody’s fault or choices”. Sounds rational but he ignores systemic effects of organisational behaviour.

  2. I like James’ points about not being a victim. If you can’t analyze your thoughts then there is no hope. This is good stuff

    Thanks for your comments. Point taken. Yes, I agree that systemic effects play a part. My purpose was to help training practitioners think about the ability that the individual learner has to create change if they are shown how.
