Introduction

While training programs are to widely recognize for their importance, the extent to which companies gather feedback from their employees about the training provided remains a question.

Many companies seem to be making the same mistakes of not taking into consideration all the relevant factors.

πŸ“’ Recommendation: I suggest visiting our blog, which features a comprehensive category where we explore into specific solutions for common challenges encountered in pharmacovigilance.

Opinions and experiences

  • In general training programs are unimpressive as understanding case processing concepts so complex, despite taking it seriously. Whether the issue was with trainee or the trainer remains unclear.
  • Communication gaps hindered the comprehension of the trainer’s instructions, even after few days of training.
  • To avoid such issues, practical sessions should form an integral part of training programs. Investing in effective training is crucial to ensure high-quality work output.
  • However, some training programs are overly complex, causing boredom and lack of engagement.
  • To improve this, training programs should focus on common factors processors/coders face, based on the data available that impact quality.
  • Logical and engaging discussions must form a part of training sessions that concentrate on quality improvement, rather than mere processing techniques.

Effectiveness of Training: A Complex Question

An effective training – A big question

Effective training programs should not put undue pressure or hurdles on employees.

Although there is no fixed law or method to follow, the focus should ensuring that people understand the content without being in a state of confusion.

The process should be more simplified. The training should be logical, easily understandable, and help to boost employees’ confidence levels. If confusion persists, it indicates a problem that needs to be addressed.

While it may not be possible to cover everything in a single stage, essential factors must be covered, and they should be of significant value to the trainees.
