Implementation of a training program should enable employees to transfer what they have learned to the workplace. In general, effective training communicates learning objectives clearly, presents information in distinctive and memorable ways, and helps trainees link the subject matter to their jobs. To fully understand and remember the content of the training, employees need a chance to demonstrate and practice what they have learned. Practice requires physically carrying out the desired behaviors, not just describing them.

Well-designed training helps people remember the content. Training programs should engage learners with visual content and break information into smaller sections that people can remember easily. Ultimately, the goal of implementation is transfer of training, or on-the-job use of knowledge, skills, and behaviors learned in training. Transfer of training requires that employees actually learn the content of the training program. Then, for employees to apply what they learned, certain conditions must be in place: social support, technical support, and self-management.

The organization’s managers need to emphasize the importance of training, encourage their employees to attend training programs, and point out connections between training content and employees’ job requirements. Finally, to ensure transfer of training, an organization’s training programs should prepare employees to self-manage their use of new skills and behaviors on the job. The trainer should have trainees set goals for using skills or behaviors on the job.
