What is the most cost-effective way to train your workforce? Do you really need to create training on basic programs? No way! Matt Ragan is the Director of Training for iPipeline, a cloud-based software solution for the life insurance and financial services industries.

In today’s episode, Jon chats with Matt Ragan, the Director of Training and Development at iPipeline. Ragan’s eclectic background from actor to teacher surprisingly led him to financial services and software development. These combined experiences influenced him to reinvent online learning in this industry. Out are the ways of digital textbooks. Instead, real-time experiential learning allows remote workforces to all be on the same page.

Do you communicate with every employee the same way? You may want to rethink that strategy. As experts in workplace personality theory, founders of Rose Group Int’l Meg Manke and Dr. Rachel Headley use their Culture Types and Kurtz Change Transition Model to help company culture and efficiency. Through their training, workplace members are analyzed with an XY axis: Chaos vs. Order, Team vs. Self. Where leaders and employees fall on this chart reflects how they respond to information, leadership, and training. Rachel and Meg know that prioritizing people like this builds company culture and efficiency. Even with just four years of positive results, the duo is just getting started.
