Host: Trish McFarlane

Guests: Traci Zablocki, Professional Services Consultant at ADP and Eileen Ekey, Sr. HCM Consultant in Professional Services at ADP

This week on the HR Happy Hour Show, Trish was joined by Traci Zablocki and Eileen Kkey, professional services leaders at ADP, to talk about the importance of training when you buy a new technology solution. While some people think training is not necessary if the solution is intuitive, we talked about why that is not true.  Training is an important part of having a successful implementation and strong user adoption.

We also covered ways HR leaders can find the most appropriate and effective types of training for their workforce.  We also talked through one specific tactic for success, the Ulitization Scorecard.
