6 Reasons Your Training Program Isn't Working

It was late. It was just Joanne, the HR Director; Juan dusting the doors; and I left in the building. The only sounds were the swishing of the sprinklers hitting against the high glass windows. Joanne looked up at me from behind her desk with that exhausted, weary grin that comes from realizing that the work ahead is more complicated than you thought.

"There's a reason you told me that story last week about that CEO you're working with, isn't there?"

I nodded.

2. Unclear Expectations
   If people are unsure of what to do or why they are doing it, training to do "it" better just won't work.
3. Lack of Support Systems
   For example: If you want people giving great behavior-based feedback, please be sure your performance systems focus on behaviors. So many more…let's talk.
4. Dipping
   We sat in front of an HR exec the other day who was crystal clear, "All the field wants is a one day training they can attend. No pre-work. No follow-up. No-reinforcement. No action plans." That's dipping not training, and won't create s
