Maximizing Value from Training: 5 Questions to Ask

Training can be an excellent way to increase productivity, teamwork, morale, or all of the above. To make sure you get value for your money, ask yourself these 5 questions first. Before I accept any contract, I ask them too.

1. Do you have support from the top?
2. Do the employees already have the skills you plan to train?
3. Will the company's processes be an obstacle to using the skills you plan to train?
4. What structures are in place to ensure accountability or offer rewards?
5. How will you measure the training's effectiveness?

Do you have a situation where training might help? Ask the trainer.
