One-time training decays
Process knowledge held by individuals leaves when they do. Programs that depend on specific staff members degrade quietly.
Write it down first
Training should teach a documented process. If the process is not written, the training is the only copy.
Make it repeatable
New-hire onboarding, refresher sessions on a schedule and a short reference for each role keep the program consistent.
Check the process, not just attendance
Periodic spot checks of documentation reveal drift that attendance records cannot.
