Recommendation

As the title suggests, this book, leaves no stone unturned. From checking the thermostat in the training room to motivating and engaging employees, authors Kaye Thorne and David Mackey cover every detail of how to set up successful training programs. Good companies build strong cultures based on shared values, fairness, open communication and a desire to develop the best employees. Thorne and Mackey urge you to take an honest look at your organization, and strive to create an environment in which employees are enthusiastic and anxious to apply the new skills they’ve learned. That will enable you to develop an employer brand that resonates with workers and consumers, and sets an example for your peers. Although the book does not have a great deal of original material, the sheer volume of information makes this a valuable resource for trainers, and for companies that already conduct training or are considering implementing it. getAbstract believes that every training professional can benefit from this book, though it seems particularly well suited for those who are new to the field.

Take-Aways

  • Good training requires collaboration between a qualified instructor and a committed organization.
  • Trainers are more effective if they know about learning styles.
  • The success of a program depends on trainees’ active participation.
