When you think about it, in many cases the answer is YES!
Visualize a tradesman such as a carpenter or a plumber or electrician championing the development of a new apprentice by teaching and testing them with various menial tasks to earn their stripes and gain experience. Remember your very first job where your supervisor told you something like “I want you to work with Fred, he’s been with us for over 20 years and he’ll show you how we do things.” That’s how most of us were introduced to the working world, and our first introduction to training. It’s no wonder why people naturally feel obligated to share what they know with a new employee, even if they were never asked to do so.
It’s a proven fact that people have a desire to feel appreciated and generally have a willingness to help others to speed up someone’s learning curve so they don’t have to go through the same challenges they did when they were first starting out with a new job. From a company standpoint, it’s a team player attitude, which is great, but the challenge is that the Freds of the world are set in their ways, get busy, can’t train everyone who starts with the company and sooner or later, move on.
As a result, the evolution of sell sheets, PowerPoints, CDs, DVDs, WebEx, instructor led, and group training were established as a safeguard to capture knowledge and help companies store the valuable lessons that have been learned over time. This allowed for some standardization to be established so knowledge could be presented over and over again to allow a consistent message to all new employees and new positions within a company. This was a good idea, but delivering information to your targeted audience is not a guarantee that true learning will occur.
In today’s fast paced world, businesses are trying to be lean and mean and still maintain a competitive edge. Virtual work forces, on-boarding new recruits, sales training, customer service, compliance, certifications, safety, sexual harassment, OSHA, the list goes on and on for companies to deliver training in a consistent and cost effective way.
