JOIN BAHRA FOR THIS LUNCH PRESENTATION OF 'ROCK SOLID TRAINING PROGRAMS USING INTERNAL SME'S AS TRAINERS" WITH LEIGH-ANN ZAHAREVICH OF ALIGNED PERFORMANCE, INC.

WHEN: Thursday, March 21st from 11:30 am to 1:00 pm

WHERE: Nissi’s, 2675 North Park Drive, Lafayette, CO 80026

About This Event:  Are you responsible for employee engagement in your organization? Then you know first-hand that training programs are critical to affecting employee engagement. They are proven to boost employee satisfaction, increase productivity and improve employee retention. To be considered effective, investments made in training need to result in some type of behavioral change. Without this outcome, training dollars are ill-spent. When training programs involve all constituents from the planning stage, they have a much better chance of succeeding. 
Using internal SMEs (subject matter experts) to train others on processes, equipment, even soft skills, can be cost effective if planning is thorough and meaningful. From choosing the right people to train (hint: it's not always who you think it should be!) to measuring effectiveness, this session lays out what needs to happen before, during and after training to make sure it is rock solid.

After this session, participants will be able to plan successful training programs by:
1)Identifying and selecting people who will make the best trainers for their environment
2)Supporting subject matter experts to become excellent trainers
3)Drafting a plan to evaluate their training program
