As trainers, we must continually navigate factors beyond our control. Ever-changing market conditions, diversity of skill levels and a range of competitive and organizational pressures all make it difficult for any training team to chart a clear path forward.
As training professionals, do you practice what you preach when it comes to networking? If you’re like many of us, all too often the answer is: not exactly. Why?
We certainly understand the benefits of networking – its ability to foster professional relationships, open pathways, build confidence and more. This is precisely why we encourage learners at every stage of their career to take advantage of networking opportunities, many of which we help create.Still, as training professionals, we often neglect to personally invest ourselves in networking outside of the occasional meet-and-greets we find ourselves attending during professional conferences.
Few things have more impact on an organization’s success than the health of its learning culture. According to research compiled by LinkedIn, employees who spend time at work learning are 39% more likely to feel productive and successful, 23% more ready to take on additional responsibilities and 21% more likely to feel confident and happy.
Such findings invite the question: How can you as a learning professional best promote a culture that will help your organization thrive?
Recognizing that life sciences organizations often lack the time and resources to best evaluate the effectiveness of their training programs, Encompass Communications and Learning, Inc. has created TrueImpact. This fully customizable offering is designed to take the guesswork out of training evaluation so that organizations can better make informed training decisions that drive performance.
As an LTEN member, you have A access to a wide range of resources, publications, events and professional development opportunities, all designed to enhance your ability to deliver world- class learning. Few of these member benefits, however, are more custom-fit to meet your needs – or more misunderstood – than the LTEN Ambassador program.
It’s part of the yearly cycle, inevitable as fireworks in July and turkey on the fourth Thursday of November. With the beginning of each new year, we naturally reflect on where we are and where we’d like to be. This is particularly true for those in the training industry, who must assess the needs of their organization— and chart a course toward improvement.
No matter your role on the raining team, your work each year is likely guided by an annual planning cycle. This process, usually carried out over multiple meetings and often involving participants across the organization, sets the training agenda for the year. Done well, it can reinvigorate your team by providing a fresh assessment of what you’ve collectively accomplished and what opportunities lay ahead.
