How to support your team after their training
Post Course De-Brief Guidance
Schedule a follow-up meeting with your team member to review what they learned, their Personal Development Plan (PDP) and how they plan to apply it.
This will help reinforce the learning and ensure that they can transfer the skills to their work.
Some of the possible areas of discussion:
- Overall view of the course. How appropriate was it for their objectives set before the course?
- Were those objectives achieved? Were any unexpected or additional benefits achieved?
- How are they going to put the lessons and areas of focus in their PDP into practice?
- What measures can be used to assess any change in their performance, behaviour or results?
- Review the Scotwork preparation tool and agree on how they plan to utilise this to structure their preparation for future negotiations.
WHAT IS THE ACTION PLAN?
Action Plan – Encouraging Embedding
Encouraging your team member to embed the negotiation skills they have learned is crucial to maximising the investment the business has invested in the training.
- Agree for them to complete the Scotwork preparation tool for their next negotiations and share & discuss it with you.
