    How to become successful – or MORE successful

    This week’s ASTD’s Buzz newsletter tells us that the average worker received 35.06 hours of training in 2006.  (see ASTD State of the Industry Report)

    Okay, 35 hours is the average.

    What’s interesting is that companies demonstrating enterprise-wide success as a result of well planned training and development are delivering an average of 44.34 hours of training to each employee.

    That’s 26 percent more training. 

    Sounds like a lot, doesn’t it?

    But in actual time, it’s only 9 ¼ hours.

    Now consider how much time is wasted talking about how people are under-performing.

    Think for a moment . . . giving each employee nine more hours of training each year will put you on par with companies receiving awards for demonstrating proven success.

    Sooooo -  Did you want to spend that time talking about it, or are you scheduling training?
