When companies embark on employee training programs, it’s important that they find alignment between the employer (including managers) who are providing for and developing the training program and the employees who receive the training. If employers are trying to train employees on material employees feel is not valuable, for example, those trainees are not likely to be fully engaged in those training efforts.
But while there is a persistent stereotype that employees are disengaged with company training efforts, the opposite is often true: many employees are craving more, not less training.
