Studies suggest that within an hour of learning new
information, people will forget approximately 50% of it. After 24 hours, that
goes up to 70%. When training your staff, this could be quite detrimental to
your company. So how can you increase information retention and improve
profitability within your company?
1. Spaced
Learning:
This is a learning methodology where learners are given bite-sized
chunks of content and are then presented with situations that require the
learned information to repeatedly be used in different, creative situations.
This reinforces what has been learned and increases information retention.
2. Create a Learning Culture: Create a learning environment by running frequent
training events. Doing so will help reinforce training and increase the amount
of knowledge that is retained.
3. Make It Relevant: The human brain is selective as to what information it
retains. That’s why, when training your team, help them to understand why the
information is relevant. Understanding the relevance and value of what they are
learning will help increase information retention.
