Effective Retail Training for Disparate Workforces 

Effective Retail Training for Disparate Workforces 

In the retail industry, maintaining high performance can be challenging due to the dispersed nature of the workforce. This poses additional challenges for companies, particularly in terms of onboarding and reinforcing training. With constant product updates and evolving practices, it is crucial for a company’s long-term survival to effectively deliver new information to employees while ensuring consistency and quality. This can be achieved through digital training. At Wranx, we transform your training content into a digital format and deliver it to learners. Our unique platform breaks down training into manageable pieces, which are repetitively shown to learners over time. Through our “daily drills,” all learners receive the same content, regardless of their location. This allows you to have full visibility into what your employees are learning and eliminates the need to send trainers across the globe.

 

Here, There, Everywhere 

Effective communication can be a formidable hurdle for businesses with a disparate workforce. Let’s consider this scenario: You oversee a specialty clothing company with an upcoming major product launch. Ensuring the right information reaches all store employees is crucial. Unfortunately, despite an initial training session, there is no follow-up reinforcement to help them retain the knowledge. Customers often evaluate a product’s value in relation to its price. Thus, sales assistants require up-to-date product knowledge and strong communication skills to secure sales. Given the significant impact on employee performance, it becomes vital to provide consistent and engaging training. As we recognize the advantages of digital training, it begs the question: Is traditional classroom training truly sufficient?

 

What are your employees retaining?

 There is a common misconception that once employees learn something, they will automatically remember it. Unfortunately, as humans, we are prone to forgetfulness. This becomes even more challenging when you have employees working in different locations, as it becomes difficult to keep track of who knows what. Without proper reinforcement, the value of initial training diminishes over time, as employees are not incentivized to retain what they have learned. This can lead to significant financial implications.

 

Success in the Workplace 

Wranx has experienced consistent success in collaboration with The North Face, the renowned retail company specializing in outdoor clothing and pioneering technological advancements. Having already trained over 2,000 learners, Wranx anticipates a substantial increase in this figure.

 

What was needed? 

Through Wranx’s customized content conversion process, The North Face’s learning materials were transformed into easily digestible 50-question modules, perfectly designed for maximum impact.

The North Face’s commitment to self-improvement highlighted the necessity for continuous and effective training across various disciplines including product knowledge, customer service, and behavior-based training. Their ultimate objective with Wranx was to elevate the customer experience by establishing a solid foundation of product knowledge within their workforce. 

 

What was delivered? 

According to reports from The North Face, users found it easier to retain what they had learnt using Wranx’s method of repeating questions over time. As a result, The North Face observed a direct improvement in customer experiences. Positive customer reviews revealed that purchasing decisions were heavily influenced by staff members’ advanced product knowledge. These findings are supported by the fact that 87% of users felt that training with Wranx would enhance their performance in their respective roles. This clearly demonstrates the remarkable value added by Wranx. By engaging in daily drills, employees consistently reinforced their understanding of key product information, preventing it from being forgotten.

Boost Employee Onboarding with Microlearning

Boost Employee Onboarding with Microlearning

Onboarding plays a critical role in the success of any organization. It helps new employees acquire the necessary knowledge and skills, and integrate into the organizational culture quickly. However, traditional onboarding methods no longer suffice in today’s fast-paced world. With the emergence of technology, employers need to leverage digital tools to improve employee onboarding while minimizing the time and resources required. Microlearning has emerged as one of the most effective techniques in recent years. This blog post will explore how microlearning can boost employee onboarding and provide strategies for implementing it successfully.

 

Why Microlearning Works for Onboarding

Microlearning provides bite-sized content to learners. It presents information in smaller chunks, making it easier to digest and retain. Rather than overwhelming new employees with prolonged and often dull training sessions, microlearning offers more engaging and interactive options that align with today’s short attention spans. By using engaging videos, infographics, and quizzes that can be accessed anytime, anywhere, microlearning makes learning fun and interactive.

 

Strategies for Implementing Microlearning

To make the most of microlearning in onboarding, you need to develop a strategy. Here are some tips for implementing it effectively:
a. Identify the critical content that new employees need to learn to be productive.
b. Develop a curriculum and break it into bite-sized chunks.
c. Use interactive content like videos, infographics, and quizzes to engage learners.
d. Ensure accessibility by using mobile-friendly content and accessible training systems.
e. Provide performance support tools that allow employees to access information on-the-job.

 

Measuring Effectiveness

Measuring the effectiveness of microlearning is essential to understand whether it is producing the desired results. You can measure the effectiveness of the program by analyzing performance data and getting feedback from employees. Using this information, you can offer additional support on topics your learners aren’t grasping as quickly and ensure that your employees are retaining the essential knowledge and skills needed to be successful in their role.

 

Benefits of Microlearning in Onboarding

The benefits of microlearning in onboarding are numerous. One of the most significant benefits is that it boosts engagement and retention. Engaged employees are more likely to put in extra effort, leading to increased productivity and in turn increased profitability. Also, microlearning makes onboarding more efficient – reducing time and resources needed for training. Employees can complete their training sessions quickly and efficiently, allowing them to begin working on their core tasks.

 

Microlearning is a powerful tool for employee onboarding. It provides bite-sized content that engages learners, makes training more efficient, and is suitable for today’s modern, fast-paced world. Employers should begin by identifying the critical information that employees need to learn and develop interactive content that aligns with their learning style. With the right strategy and measurement tools in place, microlearning is sure to boost employee engagement, productivity, and organizational success.

Certainty Based Marking (CBM): Measuring Training Success

Certainty Based Marking (CBM): Measuring Training Success

Creating effective learning is a continuous challenge for corporate businesses. The introduction of new technologies has eased this by opening up more ways for employees to take part in workplace training, such as e-learning platforms, video learning, and virtual reality. Formal training has vastly progressed over the years, but there is room for improvement through assessments, and that’s where Certainty Based Marking (CBM) can have a huge impact on training and development.

 

Multiple-choice assessments remain the most common and convenient method of evaluation; scoring is quick and simple, multiple versions can be created and simple metrics highlight who knows the subject matter and who doesn’t. However, these traditional metrics aren’t completely reliable. They fail to demonstrate how training impacts the employees’ performance, their confidence, or how effectively knowledge is retained over time. Despite the convenience of multiple-choice assessments in terms of distribution and the metrics it provides, they are problematic. Multiple-choice assessments make it easier for the learner to guess the answer, rather than demonstrate that they know specific information. 

Multiple-choice also tests the learner’s ability to recall information, as opposed to showing that the learner understands the answer’s application in real-life situations. For example, a salesperson might be taught their organization’s sales processes and be able to identify them correctly in a multiple-choice question, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that they’ll be able to remember that information independently and put it into practice in the workplace. Assessments help organizations understand their employees’ knowledge levels. By tracking the correlation between performance and training results, organizations can clearly see the impact training has had on their workforce. Additionally, there is a third metric that can also contribute to how effective training is: employee confidence. We have found that measuring a learner’s confidence in their knowledge is not only a good way to test how solid their knowledge really is, but it also provides a strong indication of how well a learner can put that knowledge into practice.

 

What is Certainty Based Marking?

Certainty Based Marking (CBM) can be utilized to evaluate assessments. Not only must learners indicate what they think the correct answer is, they must also rate how certain they are of it (from ‘High’ to ‘Low’). For example, if a learner gets the answer right with high certainty, they are sufficiently knowledgeable. However, if a learner gets the answer wrong with high certainty, the unique scoring system alerts organizations to any ‘confidently incompetent’ employees. CBM was theorized by Tony Gardner-Medwin, a professor of physiology at University College London in 1994. According to him, past experiments show that asking learners to indicate their confidence levels stimulate a higher level of thinking, which assists learning and recall:

“When properly set up, it motivates students to think carefully about whether they can see reasons for either sound justification or uncertainty about the answers they give in tests. It is particularly helpful as a study aid in self-tests, providing a stimulus and challenge, and a warning signal when misconceptions have arisen. But it has also been clearly shown to improve the statistical reliability and validity of assessment data.” CBM enhances traditional assessment approaches by measuring both competence and confidence. It also avoids false indications of accuracy, as learners are unable to simply guess the right answer. To encourage honesty from learners, the CBM assessment scoring system does not penalize for incorrect answers with low confidence. Therefore, organizations can be more confident that they’re getting an accurate reflection of a learner’s knowledge. In addition, unsure but careful thinkers are not deflated by receiving a minus score – they are actually encouraged because more considered responses receive higher marks.

 

Using Certainty Based Marking with Assessments

Employee competence is invaluable to an organization, but only as long as it lasts for the long term, otherwise, the organization could face negative consequences. Employee evaluation and assessments are commonly implemented as a one-off event when in reality they should be implemented consistently in order to successfully track employee’s knowledge levels. Assessments also help inform employers’ training decisions as it highlights the subject areas employees are struggling with. This allows training to be refined and for relevant modules to be delivered in a cost-effective way. To do this, Wranx uses pre and post-assessments in conjunction with CBM.

A pre-assessment determines the learner’s existing knowledge to act as a benchmark. Spaced Repetition training is then delivered over a given period and upon conclusion, the learner is assessed again to determine the impact of training on their knowledge. This is particularly useful for those falling below the pass-rate, as their progression becomes more clear. On average, using the AMA approach, we’ve found that learners improve knowledge levels by 25 points from pre- to post-assessment. By adding CBM into the mix means we see increased confidence, with high-engagement learners improving by 38% and even low-engagement learners improving by 20%.

So, as opposed to making assessments a one-off event, they can be delivered at certain time periods to continuously refresh and assess employees’ knowledge. Assessments also help determine the type and frequency of training delivered for each individual on the Wranx platform. Using analytics with assessments Another advantage of using CBM assessments is that they safeguard organizations by exposing employee knowledge gaps that could potentially be harmful. Wranx’s performance analytics can visually demonstrate to organizations a learner’s accuracy against their confidence. We call this the ‘knowledge quadrant’ – this places each learner into a specific category, depending on the two variables: Aligned – Learners who are accurately answering and doing so with high certainty and will likely be applied correctly in practice. These individuals would be considered masters of that knowledge domain, resulting in higher performance and productivity.

Misaligned – Learners who are somewhat confident in their answers. The individual believes their answer to be correct, but an element of doubt exists that may cause them to not act on that knowledge. Uninformed – Learners who have gaps in their knowledge but are aware of it. They are uninformed and are unlikely to act. Misinformed – A ‘confidently incompetent’ employee. This individual has knowledge that they confidently believe to be correct, but which is actually incorrect. Those who have confidence in wrong information will very likely make mistakes on the job, which could potentially put the organization at risk. Being able to see what category employees fit into will help inform future training decisions for an organization. More focused, relevant learning content can be delivered and close any previous knowledge gaps employees may have – which results in more highly and broadly skilled workforces.

 

Success in the Workplace with Certainty Based Marking

While new methods of learning and extending knowledge retention are being developed all the time, knowledge assessments remain one of the key areas that can be improved. Naturally, it’s important to guarantee employees learn effectively, but the next step should be to assess how well they can apply their newfound knowledge in the workplace – both effectively and with confidence. Wranx offers a unique approach to employee assessment through its use of Certainty Based Marking. As explored above, this method requires those being assessed to indicate how certain they are of an answer before proceeding. Not only does this highlight the learner’s ability to recall specific information, but it also provides employers with an understanding of how likely their staff are to implement that knowledge in a workplace scenario. One of our clients who has successfully implemented CBM is The North Face®; they used this technique to assess their employees’ knowledge levels and see the measurable benefits of training with Wranx.

Following a month-long module, The North Face® saw 80% of their learners improve their CBM score, meaning they were answering more questions correctly and with greater confidence. Being a retail organization, The North Face® focus was primarily on delivering product knowledge training. With such a high volume of information on a wide range of products, it’s crucial that their employees are able to successfully recall key information when speaking with customers. Through the addition of CBM assessments, The North Face® gained a deeper insight into how confident their staff were and which areas needed improvement. In a retail environment, this confidence level can be the key factor in guaranteeing sales.

The Wranx Approach to CBM

For a learner to be truly confident in their knowledge, they must be able to use that knowledge in a real-life situation – where it counts most. There is empirical evidence to prove that effective training, which supports knowledge retention and boosts confidence, has a measurable impact on performance and can vastly improve an organization’s success in the long term. The inclusion of Certainty Based Marking assessments fits perfectly into a Wranx training program. By delivering a month-long module between a pre and post-assessment, employers are provided with detailed insight into their learners’ abilities to perform their duties correctly in the workplace. This is a powerful metric – one that helps to safeguard against unnecessary and easily avoidable mistakes. Most importantly, it demonstrates the true ROI of Wranx training.

Revamp sales training programs with microlearning

Revamp sales training programs with microlearning

Did you know that 58% of buyers say that sales reps are unable to answer their questions? Do you have a way of tracking this at your organization? If not, it’s worth doing some research as you could potentially be slowing down, or worse, losing out on sales.

The market has changed dramatically over the last 10 or so years. Now buyers have access to a lot more information about products and services on the internet, and as such, will spend time doing their research before making a purchasing decision. It’s therefore imperative that your sales team know your product like the back of their hand, so they can skillfully convert more sales. 

But with the average turnover rates for sales teams being around 34% and studies showing that 84% of sales training is forgotten after 3 months, staying on top of training is no mean feat. Companies should provide sales training on a regular to ensure their teams have up to date product and business knowledge. In this blog we’re exploring how often you should be running training sessions, the benefits of using online tools and how the Wranx platform can help. 

 

How often should you provide sales training? 

  • Frequency: The frequency of sales training can vary depending on factors such as the industry, company size, and specific needs. However, it is generally recommended that organizations should provide regular training sessions throughout the year rather than relying on one-time or sporadic training event
  • Monthly or Quarterly: Many companies allocate monthly or quarterly training sessions to reinforce sales skills, introduce new strategies, and address any knowledge gaps. This approach enables sales teams to stay updated with the latest industry trends and best practices
  • Consistency: Consistency in sales training is crucial for long-term success. Instead of overwhelming salespeople with extensive training all at once, breaking it down into smaller, consistent sessions allows for better retention and application of knowledge
  • Onboarding and Continuous Development: Providing initial onboarding training for new hires is essential to equip them with foundational sales skills. Additionally, ongoing training and development should be part of the company culture to support skill enhancement and ensure that sales teams stay ahead of market changes.
  • Adaptive Training: It’s important to adapt the training frequency based on the needs of individual sales teams or individuals. For example, if there are new products or services, significant market shifts, or specific skill gaps identified, more frequent or targeted training sessions may be necessary.
  • Evaluation and Feedback: Regularly evaluating the effectiveness of the training programs and gathering feedback from salespeople can help refine the training strategy and adjust the frequency as needed.
  • Remember, the frequency of sales training should be customized to fit the unique requirements of each company and its sales teams. By investing in regular and well-designed sales training, companies can enhance the skills, knowledge, and performance of their salesforce.

 

The benefits of using sales training software

  • Personalize Training: One of the biggest benefits of sales training software is that it allows you to personalize your training program. Every sales team is different, and within those teams individual needs will vary. By using training software, instead of traditional classroom-style learning techniques, you can easily create individualized training programs that cater to your team’s specific strengths and weaknesses. This ensures that your sales team is receiving the training they need to succeed and reach their full potential
  • Consistent Training: Consistency is key when it comes to sales training. You want your team to receive the same level of training and knowledge no matter who is conducting the sessions. When you invest in sales training software, you can ensure that your entire team is receiving the same training program. This helps to create a level playing field and ensures that everyone has the same knowledge base to work from.
  • Real-Time Feedback: Feedback is vital to the success of any sales team, but it can be challenging to provide individual feedback to each team member. With sales training software, you can easily provide real-time feedback to your team during their training sessions. This helps them to identify areas for improvement and make adjustments quickly. This creates a more efficient sales team that is capable of adapting and growing as they learn.
  • Improved Analytics: Analytics play a crucial role in any business, and sales are no exception. By investing in sales training software, you gain access to valuable analytics that can help you evaluate the effectiveness of your training program. You can track data such as completion rates, quiz scores, and engagement rates. This allows you to stay on top of your team’s progress and make changes to your training program accordingly.
  • Cost-Effective: Finally, investing in sales training software can save your business money in the long run. Traditional sales training methods can be costly, requiring trainers and travel expenditures, with the average company spending around $2,000 or more annually on training for each sales rep. Sales training software eliminates the need for expensive trainers, and courses can be accessed remotely from anywhere in the world. This makes it a cost-effective solution to your sales training needs.
