Many of you live in the corporate world. This thread is for you. Others can tune out or listen in.
All too often, training is used as (or seen as) a punishment. It can be really dreadful. Four hours of "not surfing for porn on company time or company computers" and "what not to click on". Egads. Half a day wasted for 3500 employees; you can do the math. Another 3 hours of training in how to use our RFID badges to gain entrance to our workplaces. Give me a break! The list goes on.
During the worst of this I was required to put together an online training module to prevent massive death, dismemberment, property damage, and legal liability. OH HELL NO I will not do it like they did. I have more respect for continuing education.
I put together some short and concise training, did it in a way that kept the listeners' attention, and in the end made it a little entertaining.
Our people in charge of this stuff asked if I could do a short (50,000 words or less, or far less) writeup of how to do (or not do) training. I put together a short presentation. This is training for how to do training. Meta training?
