Why Training is Important

Entrepreneurship is a wild ride. I love (and am terrified) to be constantly digging a little deeper, trying to get a little clearer on what I do, what I want to do, what’s important to me, and how all of that relates to what is important to others.

What I do

I organize and present complex information in accessible, digestible, useful bites.

What I want to do

I want to use this superpower (yeah, it’s a superpower) to take some of the pressure off of business owners and their employees by improving their training processes. I want it to be easier and less stressful for employers to have high functioning employees, and I want it to be easier and less stressful for employees to perform brilliantly at work.

What’s important to me

Well, first of all, I think the world would be a better place if people everywhere experienced more ease and less stress.

Secondly, and not unrelated, workplace culture is important to me. How we treat each other as human beings is important to me. I think a huge part of this comes down to communication – to being committed to skilled communication. In a workplace (and, generally) one of the trickiest elements of communication is around the expectations we have of each other. This is where training comes in. At its core, employee training is some version of the statement, “Here are the results I expect from you, and here is how I expect you to achieve those results.”

How this relates to what is important to others

Business owners want reliable business results. If they have employees, this means that they want reliable, high quality results from their employees, ideally with a minimum of time and energy from the boss. 

Efficient, effective employee training = less time and energy expenditures by managers and business owners
Efficient, effective employee training = confident, competent employees
Confident competent employees + less time and energy expenditures by managers and business owners = happier, healthier workplace culture for everyone

How much do you think quality employee training contributes to workplace culture? Let me know in the comments!

The True Challenge of Training

I’m working on a new tool to help business owners get better results when they train their employees. For me, building a tool like this means going back to the very basics of what an employee might need to do in the course of their work, and consequently what they might need to be trained on.
