As budgets have tightened, emphasis on proving return on investment in learning and development programs has increased. ROI often connects to knowledge retention, but participants forget 50-90 percent of learning gained through traditional training. Beating the forgetting curve requires a holistic approach to learning and development. Join this session to learn how to take a behavioral science approach to learning and development to increase knowledge retention and boost the ROI in L&D.
During this event, you will learn to:
• Understand the forgetting curve and how best to combat it
• Drive greater knowledge retention through holistic approaches to learning and development
• Assist employees in applying knowledge gained through training to their daily work
