Some personal factors that affect the trainee’s learning are:
• Family Situation
• Personal Problems
• Relation between the training program and personal objective
• Level of self esteem
• Benefits expected from training
• Comfort level with the trainer
• Learning style of trainee
• KSA of trainee
• Previous training experiences
• Desire for professional growth and development
Some environmental factors that affect the trainee’s learning are:
• Relationship with colleagues and subordinates
• Training team
• Trainer team
• Training objective
• Content of training
• Training design i.e. methods, techniques, and strategies
• Environment in the program
• Composition of training group
• Infrastructure i.e. eating facilities, tea/coffee breaks
No matter how good the training program is, in the end it is the participant only who decides whether to change his behavior or not. Trainees do not change their behavior merely because someone tells them to do. They change when they feel there is a need of it. They do it with their own learning style. The trainer and the organization can only try to remove the mental blocks of the trainee, rest depends on trainee itself.
