Companies invest significant time, money, and effort into corporate training, yet many programs fail due to a lack of training needs analysis. According to Dr. Eduardo Salas, a corporate training expert, one of the biggest mistakes companies make is not tailoring their programs to the needs of their employees.
What is a Corporate Training Program?
A corporate training program is a structured learning initiative designed to enhance employees’ skills, knowledge, and professional development within an organization. It aims to improve work performance, productivity, and business efficiency.
Why Corporate Training Fails Without Localization
📉 A McKinsey & Company report found that only 40% of Chief Learning Officers (CLOs) believe their training programs are effective and deliver a high ROI.
🔍 The issue?
Many Western companies expect employees to have strong English skills but fail to consider cultural and linguistic differences in their training materials.
📌 Solution:
Companies targeting the Chinese market must prioritize localization—adapting e-learning materials not just linguistically, but also culturally, to engage employees more effectively.
