Preface
What is Courseware?
Welcome to Corporate Training Materials, a completely new training experience! Our courseware packages offer you top-quality training materials that are customizable, user-friendly, educational, and fun. We provide your materials, materials for the student, PowerPoint slides, and a takehome reference sheet for the student. You simply need to prepare and train! Best of all, our courseware packages are created in Microsoft Office and can be opened using any version of Word and PowerPoint. (Most other word processing and presentation programs support these formats, too.) This means that you can customize the content, add your logo, change the color scheme, and easily print and e-mail training materials.
(You will also want to perform this step if you add modules or move them around.) If you want to change the way text looks, you can format any piece of text any way you want. However, to make it easy, we have used styles so that you can update all the text at once. If you are using Word 97 to 2003, start by clicking the Format menu followed by Styles and Formatting. In Word 2007 and 2010 under the Home tab, right-click on your chosen style and click Modify. That will then produce the Modify Style options window where you can set your preferred style options.
For example, if we wanted to change our Heading 1 style, used for Module Titles, this is what we would do:
Now, we can change our formatting and it will apply to all the headings in the document. For more information on making Word work for you, please refer to Word 2007 or 2010 Essentials by Corporate Training Materials.
Materials Required
All of our courses use flip chart paper and markers extensively. (If you prefer, you can use a whiteboard or chalkboard instead.) We recommend that each participant have a copy of the Training Manual, and that you review each module before training to ensure you have any special materials required. Worksheets and handouts are included within a separate activities folder and can be reproduced and used where indicated. If you would like to save paper, these worksheets are easily transferrable to a flip chart paper format, instead of having individual worksheets.
We recommend these additional materials for all workshops: Laptop with projector, for PowerPoint slides Quick Reference Sheets for students to take home Timer or watch (separate from your laptop) Masking tape Blank paper
Make it fun and interactive. Most people do not enjoy sitting and listening to someone else talk for hours at a time. Make use of the tips in this book and your own experience to keep your participants engaged. Mix up the activities to include individual work, small group work, large group discussions, and mini-lectures. Make it relevant. Participants are much more receptive to learning if they understand why they are learning it and how they can apply it in their daily lives. Most importantly, they want to know how it will benefit them and make their lives easier. Take every opportunity to tie what you are teaching back to real life. Keep an open mind. Many trainers find that they learn something each time they teach a workshop. If you go into a training session with that attitude, you will find that there can be an amazing two-way flow of information between the trainer and trainees. Enjoy it, learn from it, and make the most of it in your workshops.
Icebreakers
Each course is provided with a wide range of interactive Icebreakers. The trainer can utilize an Icebreaker to help facilitate the beginning of the course, as it helps break the ice with the participants. If the participants are new to each other, an icebreaker is a great way to introduce everyone to each other. If the participants all know each other it can still help loosen up the room and begin the training session on positive note. Below you will see one of the icebreakers that can be utilized from the Icebreakers folder.
Preparation Have participants fill out their name card. Then, ask participants to stand in a circle, shoulder to shoulder. They should place their name card at their feet. Then they can take a step back. You as the facilitator should take the place in the center of the circle. Activity Explain that there is one less place than people in the group, as you are in the middle and will be participating. You will call out a statement that applies to you, and anyone to whom that statement applies must find another place in the circle. Examples: Friends who have cats at home Friends who are wearing blue Friends who dont like ice cream
The odd person out must stand in the center and make a statement. The rules: You cannot move immediately to your left or right, or back to your place. Lets be adults: no kicking, punching, body-checking, etc.
Play a few rounds until everyone has had a chance to move around.

Sample Module: Defining Talent
All talent is not artistic. Talent is any ability or skill at which a person is successful. It is important for leaders of organizations to find and develop talented employees. Employees who have the specific skill sets that the company requires are profitable and help drive the business forward.
Types of Talent
Companies need a variety of talent. It is important to match skill sets with positions, but it is equally important to find people who have natural talent and specific personality traits to provide balance and work with the other team members. There are four basic types of talent. 1. Innovator: Innovators are good at finding innovative solutions to problems and monitoring the market trends. They keep companies from missing opportunities. 2. Visionary: Visionaries encourage change. They are always looking to the future and focus on new ideas. Visionaries drive the business forward. 3. Practical: Practical employees manage and implement different applications. They focus on seeing a task through to completion. They ensure that a job is done. 4. Relationship Expert: People who listen well and communicate ideas effectively are able to develop relationships. These employees are important to create a functional team.
Every position requires a different skill and knowledge set. Employees should already have a certain amount of knowledge and skills when they are hired, but skills and knowledge should be advanced with training on the job. For example, employees should have basic knowledge of the computer programs that the company uses as well as the skills to use the program. Knowledge of policies and procedures, however, must be trained.
Case Study
P.F. Changs expanded quickly in 10 years. Established in 1993, there were over 127 branches by 2004. As personal contact became more difficult to keep, talent management, including succession planning, became a goal of the organization. After implementing talent management strategies, the organization saw a 13 percent increase in sales and a 32 percent increase in profitability.

The Human Resource department typically monitors talent management. Since the late 1990s, the focus on employee management has changed. The high cost of turnover combined with poor engagement, competition for skilled labor, and succession planning has led to a greater interest in managing talent. There are four stages to talent management. 1. Assess: Determine what your company needs and the skills employees need to have. 2. Recruit: Search for and recruit the right employees for the organization 3. Develop: Train and develop employees to promote and stay long-term. 4. Coordinate: Align the goals of the employees with the goals of the company.

Estimated Time Topic Objective Topic Summary Materials Required Planning Checklist Recommended Activity 10 minutes Introduce the different types of talent. Types of Talent Use the exercise to explore the different types of talent. Worksheet: Talent None Work on the exercise independently. Share your answers with your small group and review as a class. Explain that there needs to be a balance of talent. For example too many innovators will clash and too many practical employees will miss opportunities. Ask the participants to share any experiences they had working with unbalanced groups. If you feel that you are short on time, skip the class discussion. Which talent helps create change?

Knowledge of a subject or field is necessary in order to develop certain skills. Knowledge comes from education and skills come with experience and training. For example, someone can have knowledge of legal requirements for a particular subject but not be skilled to apply that knowledge. Skills and knowledge are both required for a job. Skill Examples: Math Typing Editing Clerical Phone Speaking
Every position requires a different skill and knowledge set. Employees should already have a certain amount of knowledge and skills when they are hired, but skills and knowledge should be advanced with training on the job.

The trainer can then utilize the Activities folder for the corresponding material and then provide it to the participants. They are all on separate Word documents, and are easily edited and customized. Below you will see the Worksheets or Handouts that are utilized during the training of the above lesson. They are located in the Activities folder and can be easily printed and edited for the participants.
Talent Management
360 Degree Feedback
360 degree feedback is a method of reviewing employees. Employees are given anonymous feedback from supervisors and peers. Managers are also given direct reports in their feedback. Employees typically evaluate themselves as well. These evaluations will help improve performance by: Identifying and enhancing strengths Identifying areas that need development Setting goals Creating action plans
The evaluations are typically done on a scale of 1 to 10, and there is a place for comments. The scores from supervisors, peers, and direct reports are averaged and compared with average company scores.
Overcoming Roadblocks
No support from senior management: An effective succession plan requires commitment from senior management in order for the plan to succeed. Leaders are not flexible: Succession plans need to be altered over time. When people try to go forward with a plan that is not working, it will fail. The plan is not given priority: Large companies may be complacent about succession planning. Goals are not achievable: Never being able to achieve goals breeds frustration and failure.
