(from Rice University) A checklist that organizations can use when developing, implementing and evaluating employee training programs has recently been developed by researchers at Rice University and the University of Illinois at Chicago. “There is a science of training and, surprisingly, most organizations are not aware of it,” said the chair of Rice University’s Department of Psychological Sciences. “This checklist is an attempt to translate the science into a practical tool.”
The checklist is divided into three sections of “yes” and “no” questions to be answered before, during and after employees undergo training. The “before” section determines if the training program will meet the organization’s needs, the “during” section addresses the training’s content and “after” questions check whether workers remember what they learned and determining if they need more help.
