Professionals working in Talent Development want to get the best results from learning programs. Yet, most experts agree that usually only 20% of learning is implemented in the workplace. If we compare this to for example a boat shuttle 'transferring' people from one place to another: would clients of this shuttle accept a successful transfer rate of only 20%...? In an era of worldwide growing accountability, it's our mission as Talent Developers to increase the rate of transfer. Because in the end, it's only on-the-job behavior that matters: the business only benefits when learning positively impacts performance. Ensuring learning transfer is therefore an important challenge facing Talent Developers today. But how can we make sure that learning program have a high rate of transfer? What makes learning really work? I've lead a research on how transfer took place by analyzing training programs and interviewing workers, managers and clients of international organizations. The key question during the research was: what proved to help employees to perform better in the workplace after learning activities? The conclusion was that 7 factors were crucial to make a great transfer happen. These 7 factors enhanced the learning process in a way that results in the workplace are increased. To know about the 7 factors and how to apply them in learning programs, instantly helps instructional designers, trainers and managers to make learning programs more effective in the workplace. Learn about the seven factors take make transfer happen and how to apply them in every learning program in your organization.
