BrainX - Employee Retention for Managers and Supervisors Online Course
Research has shown that the single most important factor in retaining an employee is the relationship between the employee and immediate supervisor. What are you doing to insure success?
Introducing…
Wise employers emphasize that retention is the job of management, not other employees or human resource professionals. The problem is that few employers train managers and supervisors on retention techniques…things they can do without running for human resources.

This employee retention course is organized into ten lessons that flow logically to make learning easy. Each session presents knowledge and technique created specifically for use by managers and supervisors. The ten lessons your people will benefit from are:
Collaborating with the most respected neurobiologists and education experts in the United States, BrainXTM created the first Online Learning Mastery SystemTM. From content creation to content delivery, this system improves every element of e-learning. This system accelerates learning, locks information into long term memory and produces true mastery. And that Mastery creates a measurable increase in performance and a valuable return on investment. A unique element of the BrainX system is that every learner gets his or her own Personal Digital Tutor. The Digital Tutor:
Each learner needs to have a plan to succeed, a full set of information to gain initial understanding including books and other reading material, a BrainX Digital Learning Guide to build the memory activations steps and some exercises to work with the material. An optional final step to mastery is a final exam on all the material. This employee retention course is self-contained. Everything needed by the manager or supervisor is included in this on-line presentation. To gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of the subject, learners are encouraged to read Keeping Good People and other publications on retention. A series of weekly e-lessons, Retention Reminders, offers the option for extended learning and reinforcement. The course plan breaks the course down into bite-size chunks. The learner can schedule whatever rate of learning is desired; there are no requirements to limit progress to one lesson per week, for instance. Learners sign off as they complete each step. For tracking purposes, in some organizations, the learner turns a reporting sheet into the manager at the end of each week. The manager can easily see if the employee is on track with his/her plan. At the end of the course the employee can take a certification exam and receive a certificate of completion.
The BrainX Digital Learning System (DLS) was developed by five recognized experts in the fields of education technology, educational psychology, computer-based training and learning theory. DLS incorporates information from over 200 research studies on accelerated learning and how the human brain masters information. Extensive research shows that the brain of an expert actually operates differently from an informed novice. In any given situation, the novas might be able to analyze the problem and identify many possible solutions. Then using a process of elimination they can come up with the correct solution. The Expert on the other hand, instantly identifies the relevant pattern, selects the correct principal that is needed to solve the problem, and then correctly applies the principle. This process is as true for the expert sales person as it is for the expert chess player or physicist. Turning Ordinary People into Experts But what does it take to become an expert? Again we look to the research and find that the key to becoming an expert is the mastery of a large amount of facts. Tom Watson, a co-discoverer of DNA and one of the greatest scientists of all time, was asked about the secret of his academic success. He explained simply that he mastered an incredible amount of facts! The best sales trainers in the nation confirm that sales people have a great fear of being embarrassed in front of customers. Therefore, they will not use their knowledge and facts unless they have mastered them. Mastering information happens in two distinct stages. The first is initial understanding. This is what happens when you read a book or listen to a lecture. The problem is that your brain is designed to chunk and dump information. Therefore without the second step of memory reactivation the information you learned is quickly forgotten. Research shows that three weeks after a one-week training course the retention rate is only 15 percent of what was covered--after a one day seminar the retention rate is only five percent. These retention rates are not enough to change behavior. A tool is needed to improve memory retention and change behavior. Initial understanding is incredible important because it allows the brain to connect the new knowledge to what it already knows. It also allows the brain to form a framework on which it hangs the facts. Reinforcement over Time For memory reactivation to be effective, the core parts of the course, book, or lecture have to be reinforced over a period of several days. Research has shown that the best way to accomplish memory reactivation is with a special type of question called a learning question. The BrainX Digital Learning System Software allows the user or a course creator to convert every key idea, fact and term into a learning question. Without mastering information there is no return on investment for training and education expenditures. Mastery produces pattern recognition, the ability to transfer information learned in one context to a completely different context, the ability to properly apply the learned information and confidence all of which will change behavior. BrainX started out helping students and physicians prepare for high stakes medical licensing exams and certification. It is called high stakes because the downside of not mastering information is potentially catastrophic including losing your license. Our success in medical education caught the attention of the biggest publishers in the world who now use BrainX to produce digital study guides for their best textbooks. Now corporate trainers and the best sales trainers in the world use BrainX as a core part of their education process. Lectures, tapes and books are used to help learners gain an initial understanding of material. Then the learner uses the BrainX Digital Learning Guide to master the information.
