Training transfer is the extent to which employees apply what they learned in training to their actual work. It is a key indicator of the effectiveness and value of your employee training program. However, many factors can interfere with training transfer, such as lack of support, motivation, feedback, or reinforcement. To improve training transfer, you need to identify and address the gaps that prevent employees from applying their new skills and knowledge. Here are some steps you can follow to identify training gaps and improve transfer.

1 Assess the needs

Before designing or delivering any training, you need to conduct a thorough needs assessment to identify the gaps between the current and desired performance of your employees, as well as the root causes of those gaps. A needs assessment can involve various methods, such as surveys, interviews, observations, tests, or focus groups. You should involve the stakeholders, such as managers, employees, customers, or suppliers, in the needs assessment process to get their input and buy-in. The needs assessment will help you determine the goals, objectives, content, and methods of your training program.

To identify training gaps and enhance knowledge transfer, the process begins with a Training Needs Assessment (TNA), aligning learning objectives with organizational goals, and designing effective training programs. Facilitating learning and measuring outcomes follow, along with the encouragement of learner action plans. Feedback evaluation and post-training performance tracking are essential for continuous improvement, while tailoring facilitation methods to learner preferences and engaging them through various activities ensures a comprehensive approach to addressing and resolving training gaps, ultimately leading to improved knowledge transfer.

2 Align the learning

Once you have identified the needs and gaps, you need to align the learning outcomes and activities with the performance expectations and standards of your organization. You should ensure that the learning objectives are SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound) and that they reflect the skills and knowledge that employees need to perform their tasks. You should also choose the appropriate learning methods and tools that match the learning styles and preferences of your employees, as well as the nature and complexity of the content. For example, you can use simulations, case studies, or role-plays to provide realistic and interactive learning experiences.

3 Support the transfer

After delivering the training, you need to provide ongoing support and reinforcement to help employees transfer their learning to their work. You should create a supportive and conducive work environment that encourages and enables employees to apply what they learned. You can do this by providing coaching, mentoring, feedback, recognition, incentives, or resources. You should also involve the managers and peers of the employees in the transfer process, as they can influence the employees' motivation, confidence, and behavior. You can ask them to set goals, monitor progress, provide feedback, or offer assistance.

4 Evaluate the results

Finally, you need to evaluate the results and impact of your training program on the employees' performance and the organization's outcomes. You should measure and analyze the indicators of training transfer, such as behavior change, productivity, quality, customer satisfaction, or profitability. You should use various sources and methods of data collection, such as surveys, interviews, observations, tests, or reports. You should also compare the results with the baseline data and the objectives of your training program. You should communicate the results to the stakeholders and use them to improve your training program.
