This program will provide practical guidance for (i) developing training content that conveys the essential information to the employees who need it, (ii) delivering that information in a comprehensible and engaging manner, (iii) ensuring that all employees who should be trained actually receive their training, and (iv) tracking these activities in order to prove up each employee's training participation if/as needed.
