Workplace training in general can obviously make a difference. My technical skills have improved as a result of such training. Non-technical training has also helped me not to kill people or end up in prison (e.g.relating to safety cases for aerospace systems and legislative compliance). With respect to the softer subjects you mention, the (albeit limited) training I've received hasn't changed my own behaviours fundamentally, but has certainly made me understand what to do when issues arise in the workplace (e.g. how to deal with a colleague who is displaying inappropriate behaviours. I've had to deal with this once).
Whether an app is the best way to provide such training is a different question.
- HeyLaughingBoy 8y agoWhether an app is the best way to provide such training is a different question This. I have received excellent workplace training, but never through an app. Actual human instructors can do things that apps can't like discuss the experiences of individuals in the class, or respond to questions about subtle nuances in behavior. Doing training via an app is IMO, a way for the company to check off that you've been trained, whether or not it was useful. Online training is good for those things that don't require much thought like fire safety or office ergonomics. It's all but useless for things like harassment training.
