Why Most Companies Waste Their Employee Training Budget

Episode 17 of The Productivity Podcast examines why corporate training so often fails to boost productivity. Lucas walks through the research on training transfer — the gap between what employees learn in a workshop and what they actually apply on the job. He cites the 90-10-10 rule: 90 percent of training budgets go to the event itself, 10 percent to preparation, and only 10 percent to follow-up. Luna pushes back on the idea that more training is always better, and they discuss how companies like Google and Pixar structure learning to stick. The episode closes with a practical question for managers: what would change if you spent as much on the two weeks after a course as you do on the course itself? #CorporateTraining #Productivity #LearningAndDevelopment #TrainingTransfer #WorkplaceLearning #EmployeeTraining #HumanCapital #ROI #SkillRetention #Google #Pixar #Management #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #ProductivityPodcast #OutputEfficiency #LongTermGrowth Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
