Are You Losing Good Employees?

The number one reason why employees leave relates to lack of growth and development opportunities. Employees are left to fend for themselves in terms of training and development opportunities which doesn’t work. Plus – what about the exit of retirees? How are you filling the void losing precious intellectual capital and experience?

Employees Need To Be Trained And Nurtured!

Staff development doesn’t happen by osmosis. As a leader, you need to be diligent and intentional by ensuring employees are trained and developed to perform at their best. In addition, what are you doing to hold employees accountable, ensuring that the training sticks and their behavior changes? It’s an on-going effort that should not be missed. With a proven Instructional Design process, RTB separates the nice-to-know from need-to-know with key takeaways, summaries, and visual infographics.

Are Your Teams Aligned With Your Objectives?

Teams today are individuals loosely identified as team members on the organization chart. In today’s environment, isolation, virtual work environment, lack of communication and direction impacts the workforce more than ever before.

Roles And Expectations Need To Be Defined and Explained!

Setting, managing and communicating expectations is by far the most important aspect of ensuring that employees are on the same page and working to meet and exceed those expectations. RTB works with leaders and employees to ensure that training is aligned with performance requirements. Specific and concise learning objectives are imbedded into all training offerings.

Is Cookie Cutter Training Falling Short?

One size training does NOT fit all. Employees are receiving training at best via Zoom sessions, e-learning, or pulling off stuff from the internet in bits and bytes. Off-the-shelf training falls short in ensuring that knowledge and skill-based training impacts overall work performance.

Custom Training Speaks Your Language To Your People!

Customized / targeted training to meet a specific knowledge or skill gap is key in the training world today. People don’t have the time nor the energy to listen to “talking heads” droning on and on about pie-in-the-sky content in a webinar or zoom session.

RTB takes a laser-focus, custom approach to training design with relevant topics that coincide with their work. Employees have the opportunity to learn by doing, sharing knowledge and ideas with each other in an interactive, fun and engaging environment.

Success Story

A large chemical company hired Raising the Bar to develop mini-modules for managers that they could complete in an hour using their on-line learning platform. A total of 18 modules were developed and delivered to the client. The content included self-assessments, tools, techniques, and practical application. Topics were divided into 4 categories and was called the Table of Good Management. Managers were able to access this material on-demand and have tools and techniques at their fingertips, whenever they wanted.
