Below is a copy of my elevator speech explaining why training is important, complicated and necessary. You may also listen to the audio version of my Elevator Speech.
Training is important, necessary and
complicated. The purpose of training is
to promote a change in learners that can be consistently reproduced without
variation. Think about the first time
you learned to type or navigate the internet.
No one is born knowing how to do these things. We have to be trained to do them. And these were no easy tasks to accomplish
you didn’t one day wake up with the ability to type 100 words per minute. Most training does not happen overnight it is
a complicated process that relies on the human brain and all five human
senses. However, success training can
help a company achieve its business strategy both directly and indirectly. It develops employee skills, promotes a
positive work environment and helps to attract and retain employees. Training
makes each of our lives easier by allowing us to instinctively perform many
tasks without thought so we can focus on those that need our attention. This way, your employees can answer the
telephone while reading information on a computer screen and type a follow up
email to the customer without having to think twice. Training is necessary to teach employees the
skills your campy needs in order to be a success.

Hello Tyrese
ReplyDeleteYou have done a great job and you have successfully composed very convincing speech, I very much like your examples about how training help us to gain either basic or complicated skills that we know and consistently use. Noe, 2010 stated that training and development have a direct influence on human and social capital because they affect education, work-related know how and competence, and work relationships. training and development can also have indirect influence on customer and social capital by helping employees better serve customers and by providing them with the required knowledge to create patents and intellectual property.

Hi Tyrese,
ReplyDeleteYour elevator speech does a good job of explaining why training is important. Solid training is necessary for any organization to remain competitive. It allows an organization to teach employees the culture, mission and values of the business. These are important qualities that must be taught to have a solid foundation.
Tyrese,
ReplyDeleteI liked the fact you started the speech by personalizing the presentation by talking about learning to type or use the internet. I also liked that you pointed out that training can help achieve the company's business strategy both directly and indirectly. You stressed the importance of a positive work environment and the ability to retain employees. Why would that be important to the CEO you're talking to in the elevator? How would you follow-up with him or her?
