Learning

Can be an abstract process – particularly for “late returners”

Transfer of learning into your company must not be left to chance

Factors affecting Transfer

The opportunity to apply learnings as soon as possible after acquiring them greatly increases the speed and quantity of learning transferred

Transferring learning into your workplace

Factors affecting Transfer

Resistance/Support

Learners returning to their usual workplace are changed, and carry messages of change.

Some colleagues, managers and systems may discourage their wish to use their new learnings

Motivation

Individuals with confidence, drive and relatively high status are more likely to take the risk of implementation.

Others may require more extensive support in understanding and accepting risk
