Apply Learning to the Workplace Automatically

With government giving 60% cashback or 400% tax deduction under the PIC (Productivity and Innovation Credit), it is a no brainer to send your staff for training. However, many people are holding back not because they don't see the value in training, but they are afraid that the staff will not apply the learning in the workplace. In short, they still can't see the tangible benefits of training.

Truth be told, unless you do the right steps, most staff will not apply learning to the workplace. This is because most people see training as a welfare and not a part and parcel of their work. In fact many bosses do not even do post-training review, and if there is no such review, why would the staff bother to apply the learning? The following are the 4 Right Steps to Apply Learning in the Workplace:

Before the training, let the staff know that the training is intended to make their life better, not just life at work. Let them be aware that what they learn will benefit them for a lifetime, and your objective is to develop them through such training
During the training, ensure that they ask good questions from the trainer and also take down notes that may not be in the handouts. I always enjoy questions from trainees, they make the training session livelier and time passes very fast when there is fun and life
After the training, ask them what are the top 3 points that they will apply. Most trainers will have a segment for application, and for us, we even include a one-page '30-Day Action Plan' and inspire our trainees to complete that during the class
One month after the training date, check with the staff again to see what are the learnings they have applied and the benefits. If there are no benefits, it means that what they learn is not useful and please check with the trainer to see what went wrong

If Not You, Who Else?

I learnt this very powerful 5-word phrase from Singapore's highest ever box-office movie ever: "Ah Boys to Men II". In one scene, the recruits were about to start their 3-day field camp. Their Officer-in-Command asked them, "Before we moved out, anybody not feeling well?" All the soldiers replied loudly, "No Sir!!!" "Gentlemen", continued the Officer, "Every time the training gets tougher, one thought comes to your mind, 'Why Must I Serve National Service?' "My answer to you is, 'If Not You, Then Who Else?'" Wow! What a powerful phrase! If Not You, Who Else may mean: You are the most suitable person, and we can't find anyone better than you. This is appreciation at the highest level How can you push this responsibility to someone else? I am making a request to you specifically, please don't reject my request Can you find me another person more suitable than you? Please refer me anot

Kindness as a Way of Life: How Kindness can Reward You 6 Times Over

Kindness as a Way of Life by Andy Ng Kindness is a universal language that transcends cultural boundaries, enriches human connections, and has the power to transform lives. It goes beyond mere acts of charity or random good deeds. To me, kindness, when practiced as a way of life, becomes a profound philosophy that can shape our interactions with others, the world around us, and even our own well-being. In this article, we will explore the multifaceted aspects of kindness as a way of life, touching on non-violent communication, the limitations of traditional charity, the potential harms of helping, the deliberate cultivation of kindness, and the incredible rewards it brings. 1.

New Age Mobile Numerology

Many people look at 'mobile number change luck' with skepticism, they say, how can just one simple mobile number change create so many changes in a person's life? Also, the mobile numbers are given to us by random by the telcos, how can our fate be assigned by the telcos at random? Besides, isn't it true that our lives and fates are determined by birth and what we do, how can a small mobile number, which is a modern invention, have any effect? How about people in the past without mobile numbers? You mean they don't have a life without mobile numbers, right? One more thing: you cannot just change your mobile number and expect your life to change. If this is so, wouldn't everybody be rich just by changing their mobile numbers? Finally, isn't this kind of fortune-telling thing more of psychology and blind faith than science? If so, how can we trust anything that is not proven and not science? Today let's resolve all these doubts and I welcome your co
