Introducing new material: Seven strategies that won’t overwhelm your employees
Or, how do you present information effectively at work?
Learning new skills and adding to an existing skill set is essential for every employee in your organization. But every individual learns slightly differently and at a different pace.
Even more importantly, you need to ensure that employees retain and process new information in a way that enables them to hang onto as much of that information as possible.
Why would I focus just on introducing new material? As a former teacher, presenting new material effectively was key to my student’s success. Understanding that not everyone learns the same way and varying presentation techniques is the key to success regardless of the learner's age.
It’s no different in the working world — in fact, for employees, learning new material can be more difficult because their focus must shift from an output mindset (completing their assigned work) to a receptive learning mindset.
