Update Your Franchise Training

Out-of-date franchise training makes it difficult to ensure that franchisees maintain compliance with your system’s standards.

Enhancing Franchise Training Programs

The ongoing success of your franchise system relies on a commitment to continuous improvement. Keeping your franchisees aligned with your operational expectations means regularly refreshing your training programs for new franchisees.

While it may be tempting to make quick fixes—like updating a slide or tweaking a handout—it’s crucial to periodically evaluate your entire franchise training program. When should you take this deeper dive?

Assess changes within your franchise system. First, identify any new processes, procedures, programs, or standards that franchisees need to adopt.

Address performance challenges. Analyze system-wide issues and determine if updates to training content or methods could resolve them.

Examine system and budget growth. If the system can afford to shift materials onto a Learning Management System and convert content to elearning modules, this allows you to push training material to the store level, and can benefit your system service and product consistency when franchisees enroll their personnel.
