Employee training often ignores cultural and other background variables that may affect the success and relevancy of the training. When preparing workers for leadership roles, trainers often use a “one-size-fits-all” approach. Nothing could be less conducive to employee performance improvement and success than ignoring the core basics of an employee’s core cultural value principles. If trainers were to explore these dynamics more carefully, they would realize the numerous factors that affect the success of failure of such training.
