When times are tough, smart business can pull ahead of the pack by investing in their employees. Now is the time to catapult your organization forward while others are floundering. If business is slow, you’ve got the time. It really is a very small financial commitment to make a big impact down the road.
There is a workable middle ground between the equally ineffective extremes of big business training bureaucracies and the “no-time-for-training-so-we’ll-run-around-like-crazy-being-frustrated-all-day ” approach of so many small businesses. It’s called “Bottom-Line Training”: Zingerman’s training system that is designed for the real world for real small businesses that don’t ever have “enough” time or people or training resources.
Zingerman’s Bottom-Line Training approach is designed to:
- get you thinking about training in a whole new way
- increase employee job satisfaction
- reduce the training burden on managers
- cut back bureaucracy
- target problem areas
- be simple and quick to implement
- give staff the info they need to be successful
- build better bottom-line results
Just how different is this approach? Let’s just say that making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches could change your whole view of effective training. Guaranteed to alter your perspective on what’s “obvious” and what is not.
By the end of this seminar, participants will be able to:
- Use Zingerman’s 4 Training Plan Questions to develop effective Training Plans for their organizations.
- Provide new tools and techniques to support in-house trainers.
- Explain the Recipe for Bottom-Line Change and how to use it to implement organization-wide training improvements.
- Take responsibility for the effectiveness of their own training.
