A Checklist for Facilitating Training Transfer in Organizations

Organizations leverage training as a means of improving the knowledge, skills, and attitudes of trainees; but, effective training requires that this learning is transferred from the training environment to the actual performance of the work (that is, training transfer). Unfortunately, despite billions of dollars invested in learning each year, the 'transfer problem' represents a persistent challenge for organizations who wish to reap the benefits of training in that trained skills are often not used on-the-job post-training. In order to address this issue, we have surveyed the existing research, identified practical considerations for maximizing training transfer, and organized them in the form of a checklist for those who design and deliver training. The checklist provides evidence-based, actionable guidance for practitioners before, during, and after training program implementation to increase utilization of trained knowledge and skills on the job.
