Why Training Alone Doesn’t Create Change

Training matters — but meaningful workplace change requires more than training alone.

In this episode, Patricia Regier explores why training works best when it is supported by change readiness, communication, timing, practice, and implementation support.

Drawing from workplace learning, facilitation, and real-world implementation experiences, Patricia shares practical reflections on:

• Why training alone is often not enough
• Understanding the change before building training
• Change readiness and learner engagement
• Why timing and practice matter
• Supporting people during implementation
• Just-in-time learning, coaching, and ongoing support

Whether you work in workplace learning, learning and development (L&D), organizational development (OD), facilitation, leadership, or instructional design, this episode offers practical ideas to better support people through change.
