Before you start creating or selecting the training content, you need to assess the competencies that are required for each role and function. Competencies are the knowledge, skills, and behaviors that enable your employees to perform their tasks and achieve their objectives. You can use various methods to identify and prioritize the competencies, such as job analysis, performance reviews, surveys, interviews, or focus groups. You can also use existing frameworks or standards, such as the ATD Competency Model, to guide your assessment.
-
- Identify the key competencies required for each role and function within the organization. - Determine the specific skills, knowledge, and behaviors needed for each role. - Analyze the job descriptions and requirements to identify the essential competencies. - Consider the organization's goals and objectives and how each role contributes to achieving them. - Use competency frameworks or job analysis tools to help identify the necessary competencies.

Customizing New Hire Training involves tailoring content, delivery methods, and duration based on roles and functions. For technical roles, emphasize hands-on simulations and practical exercises. Soft skills training for customer-facing roles should focus on communication and empathy. Leadership roles benefit from modules on decision-making and team management. Use interactive e-learning for remote teams and in-person workshops for on-site roles. Align training goals with job requirements, incorporating real-life scenarios and role-specific challenges. Evaluate feedback and performance metrics to continuously improve the effectiveness of training programs.

In simple terms, start with the end in mind. What does success look like for this position and what are the expectations for this position? Once that’s established, identify the skills and knowledge needed to set the associate up for succeeding in the role *all of the above is assuming that company goals & values are filtered throughout
Once you have a clear picture of the competencies, you need to align the training objectives with them. Training objectives are the specific and measurable outcomes that you want your new hires to achieve after completing the training. They should be aligned with the competencies, as well as the organizational goals and values. You can use the SMART criteria (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound) to write clear and effective training objectives for each role and function.
-
- Ensure that the training objectives align with the organization's overall goals and objectives. - Identify the specific learning objectives for each role and function. - Determine what the new hires need to know, do, and achieve in their roles. - Align the training objectives with the organization's performance metrics and key performance indicators (KPIs). - Involve stakeholders in setting the training objectives to ensure they are relevant and achievable.
After you have defined the objectives, you need to choose the methods that will help you deliver the training content. Methods are the ways or modes of delivering the training, such as instructor-led, e-learning, blended, or experiential. You should choose the methods that best suit the learning preferences, styles, and needs of your new hires, as well as the nature and complexity of the content. You should also consider the availability, accessibility, and cost of the methods, as well as the feedback and evaluation mechanisms.
-
- Determine the most effective training methods for each role and function. - Consider the learning styles and preferences of the new hires. - Choose a mix of training methods, such as classroom training, online modules, and on-the-job training. - Use technology, such as e-learning platforms and virtual reality, to enhance the training experience. - Incorporate role-playing, simulations, and case studies to make the training more engaging and interactive.

Selecting the correct learning methods is a unique balance of understanding budget, timing, bandwidth in the training location, WiFi accessibility, etc. Keeping all of these as a filter, something that has worked well for me is staying connected to the current learners and, when possible, getting face to face with them to hear feedback on the current learning methods. Some things need to be taught in layers, first reading, then hearing, then video. Other things can just be shown via video or in person training.
Once you have chosen the methods, you should customize the content to suit the objectives and methods. Content is the information, resources, and activities that you provide to new hires during the training. To make it relevant, engaging, and practical for each role and function, you can employ various techniques when customizing the content. These include using real-life examples, scenarios, and case studies that relate to the role and function, incorporating organizational culture, values, and policies into the content, providing different levels of difficulty based on competency level, utilizing various formats such as text, audio, video, images or interactive elements to present the content, and allowing for self-paced, personalized and flexible learning options.
-
- Tailor the training content to the specific needs and requirements of each role and function. - Use real-life examples and scenarios to illustrate key concepts and skills. - Incorporate videos, images, and infographics to make the content more engaging and memorable. - Use storytelling and anecdotes to make the content more relatable and human. - Ensure that the content is concise, clear, and easy to understand.

Two words: learner persona. There are items that must be taught to everyone to ensure they are aligned with company values & in compliance. However, those training components that are enhancements can potentially have targeted learning within. This allows the learner to be an active participant in their learning experience and keeps them engaged by learning what’s most relevant to them.
Finally, when designing and delivering new hire training, you should involve stakeholders. These individuals have an interest or influence in the training and may include managers, mentors, peers, or customers. Involving them can be done by seeking their input and feedback on the competencies, objectives, methods, and content. Communicate the expectations and responsibilities of each stakeholder in the training process and encourage their support and participation in the activities such as mentoring, coaching, or shadowing. After the training is complete, solicit their evaluation and suggestions for improvement. By following these tips and strategies, you can customize your new hire training for different roles and functions within your organization. This will help to create an effective, relevant, and engaging learning experience for new employees that will improve their performance and retention.
