Most organizations invest in training—but very few ensure employees
actually apply what they learn.
In this episode of The Missing Piece Podcast, April Reed sits down with John Amato, Senior Training Consultant at Family Links, to discuss what separates meaningful training from check-the-box compliance.
Drawing from more than 30 years of experience in leadership development, education, and human services, John shares why the true value of training isn't the event itself; it's the transfer of learning that happens afterward.
Together they discuss:
- Why training is often the first budget item to be cut—and why that's a mistake
- The difference between leadership and management
- Live training vs. virtual learning vs. eLearning
- How supervisors influence employee development
- Why organizations struggle with learning retention
- The role AI can play in training
- The "missing piece" that transforms training into lasting performance
