Transitioning From Teaching to Training with Elizabeth Fine

ATD research highlights the need for a strong personal- and digital-safety culture within workplaces.(Alexandria, VA) March 13, 2020—To minimize the occurrence of physical and digital harm in the workplace, 90 percent of organizations are training employees on safety procedures, including compliance training and programs on other topics.Of those, 95 percent provide training for employee safety, 96 percent for workplace safety, 48 percent for customer safety, and 84 percent for digital and information safety, according to the Association for Talent Development research report Safety Training: Protecting Employees and Organizations, which is sponsored by SafetySkills.More organizations provided safety training to employees during onboarding than at any other time (92 percent). Substantial majorities also covered safety on a regular schedule for refresher training (82 percent), in response to new government regulations (73 percent), or due to safety incidents (72 percent).Organizations should look to the safety training required by law as the “bare minimum,” said Elizabeth Beckham, Elizabeth Beckham, a learning and development manager at Turner Industries, a heavy industrial construction company with more than 20,000 employees, in an interview for the report. She advised that, “Once you start doing more training than the minimum, you’re really doing more to protect your workforce and have employees buy into the culture of safety you’re building within your organization.”Some key findings of this report are:• A majority of organizations (71 percent) have organizational cultures that encourage safe behaviors to a high or very high extent.• The top benefits of safety training are reducing safety incidents, cited by 88 percent of respondents, and reducing the legal liability, fines, and sanctions that occur as a result of safety incidents, cited by 56 percent of respondents.• Some of the best practices associated with being a highly safe organization—one that has a culture that encourages safety and performs better on safety than other organizations in its industry—include providing more safety training than the law requires, incorporating simulations into safety training, holding daily safety meetings, and training all managers on safety-related topics.Three in four organizations (75 percent) delivered safety training using simulations. Of those, 73 percent used non-tech-based simulations (such as fire drills or role playing), 70 percent used computer-based simulations (for example, simulated phishing attacks), and 27 percent used virtual or augmented reality simulations.United Parcel Service (UPS) incorporates virtual reality simulations into its safety training for delivery drivers. At training centers in the United States and Europe, its future delivery drivers wear headsets that immerse them in digitally recreated streets, rife with road hazards. The drivers must prove that they can verbally identify hazards in the simulation before they can begin more intensive on-road training.A free webcast on the findings in Safety Training: Protecting Employees and Organizations is scheduled for April 22 at 2 p.m.About ATDThe Association for Talent Development (ATD) is the world’s largest professional membership organization supporting those who develop the knowledge and skills of employees, improve performance, and help to achieve results for the organizations they serve. Originally established in 1943, the association was previously known as the American Society for Training & Development (ASTD).ATD’s members come from more than 120 countries and work in public and private organizations in every industry sector. ATD supports talent development professionals who gather locally in volunteer-led U.S. chapters and international member networks and with international strategic partners.For more information, visit td.org.

Safety Training Is a Priority for Most Organizations

Elizabeth Koyle has learned that a step into the unknown can be the most important career move that you take.

When Taking a Chance Pays Off

Each day in India more than 2 million non-governmental organizations (NGOs) provide critical services to the country’s 1.2 billion people. That equates to roughly 1 NGO for every 600 people. Indians rely on NGOs to provide many essential services, often filling the gap for government institutions. However, because many NGOs operate on a shoestring budget, they struggle for access to talent with strategic business skillsets to optimize and scale their efforts. This is where pro bono consultants from the private sector can have a transformative effect on local organizations. Recently, I had the opportunity to sit in on a strategy session for an NGO in Mumbai in which an outside team of pro bono consultants provided valuable business perspectives and insights. The team was comprised of employees from JPMorgan Chase and IBM's Corporate Service Corps (CSC) who worked with the Kherwadi Social Welfare Association, one of the leading providers of vocational training in India. The Holy Grail of Any Large NGO The business team was part of a larger commitment from both IBM and JPMorgan Chase. Both companies send their top talent from around the world into growth markets to provide premium consulting services to social sector and government organizations for free. I listened to a talented team of four professionals analyze a complex problem: How to scale the NGO’s vocational training academy to reach 1 million people a year. At certain points, their recommendations were met with enthusiastic nods—of course, we have this problem! At other times, there was simply sober acknowledgment. NGOs often don't have the luxury of access to the kind of multidisciplinary, strategic, and operational planning expertise typically available to the private sector. An outsider’s perspective can open up new lines of thought and influence how an organization approaches its work. “Working with IBM and JPMorgan Chase brought home to me personally that data structured and presented well through well-designed reports can help us manage various situations better,” said Shivani Mehta, CEO of the Kherwadi Social Welfare Association. “The volunteers brought a different perspective and were able to help us look at a comprehensive holistic picture. This, along with the insights they gleaned from the data and their experiences with us, helped define a clearer way forward.” After listening to the lively debate between the local client organization and the pro bono consultants, for me, the conclusion was clear. It is so rare, in the midst of the day-to-day demands of work, to have the opportunity to step outside of defined roles and responsibilities to effectively analyze problems. What's more, the prevailing "inside the box" thinking almost always overshadows attempts to change the status quo.  Every organization can benefit from a change in perspective and, for NGOs that operate under extreme resource constraints, this is even more valuable—especially when the outside perspective brings a strategic mindset the organization can leverage to tackle its most pressing challenges. More importantly, because consultants can be hired and fired at will, they have great latitude to speak freely—and sometimes controversially—about how problems can and should be solved.Consultants Benefit From the Pro Bono Work Too 
----------------------------------------------- Pro bono consulting isn’t only game-changing for the organizations that receive this kind of support. Solving tough problems under tight deadlines in resource-constrained, cross-cultural environments teaches the consultants a great deal, too. In this case, the business executives from IBM and JPMorgan Chase achieved deep personal and professional growth, developing cross-cultural management abilities they can apply in their future leadership roles. Very few professional experiences enable such accelerated growth and applied learning. Most participants articulate an incredible change in perspective. “It was also great to know that I can go into situations very different from my everyday work world and apply the logic and lessons I've learned over the years to great effect,” said Elizabeth Transier, client engagement leader for IBM Research, who participated in the IBM/JPMorgan Chase team. Diplomacy Implications of Cross-Sector CollaborationThe collaboration leads to other advantages, aside from the skills and professional deliverables that the NGO receives, and the personal and professional growth that the skill-based pro bono consultants get. On another level, there is extensive bridge-building with deep corporate diplomacy. And on a national scale, there are public diplomacy implications in these engagements.  On the corporate diplomacy front, the companies engaged start to build trust and extensive social capital across sectors locally. For large, iconic American companies like IBM and JPMorgan Chase, there are also subtle public diplomacy outcomes which reflect positively on the United States and our broader relationship with India.In this case, the IBM-JPMorgan Chase team laid out a six-year roadmap for achieving Kherwadi Social Welfare Association’ s vision to reach 1 million youth, working through changes in organizational structure, talent acquisition, partnership management, and financial foundations.The results from this sort of programs begs the question: What if every NGO had their own team of pro bono consultants? With a clear-headed outside perspective, especially one that is based in deep knowledge and experience working in a structured but fast-changing environment, anything becomes possible.
