Staff training beats policy every time

Policies tell people what they can do. Training shows them how. If you have to pick one this quarter, run the training.

TL;DR
  • Policies are necessary, but they don't change behavior on their own.

  • A 60-minute training session shifts behavior more than a 40-page policy.

  • Run the training first; the policy will be a better policy because of what you learned in the room.

Why this is true

Policies are read once, if at all. Training is interactive, repeatable, and creates social proof. When a colleague says 'I never paste client names — here's how I get the same result without them,' it teaches more in 30 seconds than a paragraph in a policy ever could.
