Thursday, November 20, 2008. 1pm EST
According to the ASTD 2008 Industry Report, companies across the US spent a staggering $134 Billion on Learning programs last year. Regrettably, most companies find that their employees apply only an average of 20% of what they received in training back to their job. That means 80% of what they learned in their training goes unused. The most common frustration among Trainers around the globe is “Why is it that we invest so much effort into our Training and see so little of it being used"?
