Most companies don’t look at training the right way. Training isn’t simply teaching workers how to do their jobs, but building an employee up to become a more valuable company asset. Effective training really requires one thing—accountability. That’s why it’s important that leadership ask itself if the technological training tools it employs are making it easier or harder to keep employees accountable, not only in their day-to-day activities but in their professional development. A sense of accountability is at the core of any training program. Employees need to be accountable for performing their jobs correctly, and accountable for the training they are supposed to undergo. This is why e-learning, while an efficient means of education, isn’t necessarily the method that engenders the most accountability. Technological training is easy to skirt, and many employees do so. Often employees will skip over as much of an e-learning module as they can, resulting in wasted time on the employee’s part and wasted resources on the employer’s part. That’s why, when possible, hands-on learning is still the best.
