Ever hire someone with great experience, only to watch them struggle with basic tasks in your company? You assume they "should know this stuff," but they're sitting there paralyzed, afraid to make the wrong move.
Here's the uncomfortable truth: your training process is broken, and it's costing you more than just productivity.
In this episode, Micah and Alane reveal why even the most experienced hires can't succeed without proper company-specific training. Using Walmart's intensive cash register training as a surprising business lesson, they break down what separates companies that scale from those stuck in firefighting mode.
You'll discover:
- Why "they should figure it out" is killing your team's confidence and efficiency
- The marketing analogy that will completely change how you approach training
- How AI and RAG systems are revolutionizing employee knowledge access
- Why one training session sets everyone up to fail
Stop assuming your team knows your company's way of doing things. Every minute you delay proper training is another hour you'll spend answering questions, fixing mistakes, and wondering why your "good people" aren't performing.
This episode gives you the framework to build training that actually sticks—so you can finally step out of constant firefighting mode.
