SayPro Documents Required from Employees Training Materials: Ensure all presentations, worksheets, and resources are properly prepared and accessible.

To ensure all training materials are properly prepared and accessible for employees, it’s important to have a clear process for gathering, organizing, and distributing these resources. Here’s a checklist for the documents and materials you’ll need to prepare:

1. Presentations & Visual Materials

• PowerPoint Slides or Google Slides: Ensure all presentations are finalized and include the following:
  • Clear and concise slides.
  • Engaging visuals (charts, graphs, images) to support key points.
  • Relevant content on each slide (avoid clutter).
• Infographics: If there are complex concepts, consider creating infographics for clarity.
• Handouts/Printable Versions: If the presentation is text-heavy, prepare a handout version of the slides for easy reference.

2. Worksheets & Exercises

• Pre-training Assessments: Any quizzes or questionnaires that gauge employee knowledge before the training begins.
• Training Worksheets: These can include activities, problem-solving tasks, or exercises that align with the training objectives.
  • Interactive worksheets for group activities.
  • Case studies or scenarios that require employees to apply training material.
• Post-training Assessment: A quiz or survey to assess knowledge retention and feedback after the session.

3. Supplementary Learning Resources

• Reading Materials: Prepare any required reading or reference materials.
  • Articles, whitepapers, manuals, or books.
  • Ensure these are easy to access, whether in print or digital format (PDFs, Word docs, etc.).
• Video Clips/Recorded Webinars: If there are any relevant videos or recorded sessions to support learning, ensure they are ready and accessible.
  • Ensure all videos are properly captioned for accessibility.
  • Check that all links to videos work and that they are hosted on platforms employees can easily access.

4. Instructor/Facilitator Notes

• Training Guide: A facilitator guide or instructor notes to help trainers deliver the material effectively.
  • Clear instructions on how to conduct exercises, discussions, and activities.
  • Key discussion points or prompts for group interactions.
• Agenda/Schedule: A detailed agenda for the entire training session, including start times, break times, and content breakdown.
  • Include any instructions for managing time or specific sessions.

5. Accessibility Considerations

• Translated Materials: If necessary, provide translations for key documents or slides to accommodate diverse language needs.
• Audio/Visual Accommodations: Ensure any employees with specific needs (e.g., hearing impairment) have access to necessary resources, such as transcripts or sign language interpreters.
• Digital Accessibility: Check that any online resources are accessible, e.g., ensuring PDFs are screen reader-friendly.

6. Digital Platform or Learning Management System (LMS) Setup

• Uploading Materials: Ensure all resources are uploaded and organized in a centralized location like a Learning Management System (LMS) or shared drive (Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.).
  • Create clear folders for each training module.
  • Include all necessary files (presentations, handouts, reading materials, etc.) in each relevant folder.
• Access Permissions: Ensure only authorized employees have access to certain materials if needed, especially sensitive or confidential content.
• Platform Compatibility: Verify that all materials can be easily accessed from different devices (laptop, tablet, mobile).

7. Communication & Instructions

• Pre-Training Instructions: Send out clear instructions to employees about:
  • What materials they need to review ahead of time (if applicable).
  • How to access the training materials (e.g., links to files or LMS login details).
• Technical Support Contact: Provide a contact for any technical issues employees might face while accessing the materials or attending the training (e.g., help with the platform or downloading resources).

8. Post-Training Resources

• Summary/Key Takeaways: Provide a document summarizing the key points of the training for employees to refer back to.
• Additional Reading/Next Steps: Suggest further readings or next steps employees can take to deepen their knowledge after the training.
• Access to Recorded Sessions: If the training was live, offer access to a recording of the session so employees can revisit the material.

Organizing and Distributing Training Materials:

To ensure everything is organized and accessible:

• Use Cloud Storage: Create a centralized shared drive or a folder in an LMS where all employees can easily access the materials.
• Track Engagement: If using an LMS, you can track which employees have accessed and completed each module or resource.
• Provide Clear Deadlines: If there’s pre-training reading or activities, ensure employees know the deadlines for completing these tasks.
