Reflection on Thursday's Class

On Thursday, we had a guest speaker come in from Tahitian Noni International. He talked to the class about training programs in business and the components needed to make it effective. Surprisingly, I think the biggest thing that I got out of the presentation was recognizing how well my current employer trains its employees.
One area of discussion that I particularly liked was when we talked about the process and not just the principle of training programs. I like what he said about being able to measure success from the trainings. This is a key principle, in my opinion, because like the speaker said, training is not cheap and unless you can show that your training is working or contributing to the overall bottom line, you will get cut off.
I love the trainings that happen at my current job. They remind me of the purpose of the company and keep me sharp at what I do. I believe all companies should invest in a training program.
