10 Myths About Workplace Training

Modern employees want opportunities to learn and grow at work. And you know what your employees need to learn.

But are you sure you know how your employees learn?

A mix of myth and antiquated science causes us to believe a whole lot about learning that just isn’t true. Like…

People have different learning styles. Not exactly.
Learners are either “right brain” or “left brain.” Nope.
We sometimes forget stuff because we only use 10 percent of our brains, right? Wrong.

Myths like these can undermine your training program and hinder your results.

This webinar will reveal the truth about 10 commonly-held but inaccurate beliefs about how people learn – and will provide you with practical advice on how to apply the truth in your organization’s training programs.
