Firing Sally Field: Best Practices in Employee Development

Preview:

DESCRIPTION

My "Early Edition" session from the 2013 HR Indiana Conference, which qualified for strategic credits from SHRM: What's the best way to show your training programs had the right impact on the right employees, at the right price - and were properly aligned to your strategic initiatives? How do you report thsoe results to senior managers and staff in a way that inspires them to participate in the employee development process? This session has the answers. It exposes the flaws inherent in many employee development programs - and the damage they cause for your staff and customers. The focus then shifts toward how other time-tested techniques - built from 10 key questions and a 4,000-year-old storytelling pattern - will supercharge your training efforts and keep your focus fixed on employee performance.

Ask the right questions...

Who is your biggest client?

What results do they want?

What keeps them awake at night?

Good morning!

Hey, Pat is really struggling with the new system.

He’s also having some issues with sales.

And with customer service.

Got a few dress code problems, too.

He blew up at a team member yesterday.

And has come in late all this week.

So...

He’s gonna need some more training.

A two-hour sales class should do it.

Squeeze in there something about service & dress code & attitude & PC skills, too.

We’re gonna need that pretty quick.

But not on Monday or Friday. Staffing!

And can you do those online instead of at HQ?

Or just put him back through basic training?

Thanks!

But never ask this:

“Exactly what kind of exercises do YOU want to do, sweetie?”
