I have conducted management training with as many as six nationalities and three different translations in the same workshop. One, they are well-trained, and two, they are highly motivated to use those skills. Winners are high performers, and high performers are who you want and want to keep working for your organization. In this article, let s examine how training and motivation combine to create a powerful force for improved employee retention. Knowledge vs. Skill First, let s clearly differentiate between education and training.
Education is the transfer of concepts and principles.
The output of education is knowledge. Training, on the other hand, is the transfer of skills and usually takes place on the job. The output of training is performance or the ability to do a task. Half the day was devoted to classroom activities where we learned the concepts and principles of aerodynamics, weather, engine performance, aircraft systems, etc. We demonstrated our understanding on test papers, and our grades reflected our knowledge.
