How do I keep them motivated and focused?” learn more

September 8, 2009 - If You Want Business Results from Learning, Get Managers Involved

By Ed Emde

This past June we surveyed professionals attending the ASTD International Conference about what they are doing to make sure learning transfers to the job. As people began to fill out the survey, we kept hearing a common question: “Should we fill this out based on what we know we should be doing or based on what we are doing now?” learn more
