Overview: Today’s employees often judge the quality of company management by the quality of the training they receive. If training is poor, employees are likely to assume that management does not know what it is doing. That can lead to turnover -- even in a recession -- since the high-potential employees have portable skills. One way to deal with this problem is to use subject-matter experts as trainers. A myriad of train-the-trainer courses exist in every possible medium. Three payoffs, to using subject-matter experts, have been identified. First, a company can develop its own in-house subject-matter experts/trainers. Second, cross-training experts in this manner provide value-added career development. Third, using experts for training is cost effective.
