This one day workshop is designed for trainers & supervisors and will focus on the issue of "Training Drift" or the erosion of skills and information by staff after their initial training. Staff begin to forget what they have been taught by trainers immediately after leaving their training session. In fact, up to 60% of what was taught may be lost after just 8 hours! Managing the reality of employee drift presents a variety of challenges for managers and trainers. This workshop will present training strategies to increase your staff's retention of the information and skills that you teach them.

In addition, time will be provided to examine the effect of organizational norms that may encourage drift. When performance expectations are incongruent with training curriculum, drift is inevitable. Strategies to counteract this phenomena will also be explored.
