VARIANCE? UNPLANNED COSTS? # It's Not the Training - **It's the Forgetting** Most employees forget up to 90% of what they’re taught within days, turning training spend into operational risk, inconsistent execution, and margin pressure. Hermann fixes what training alone can’t. By reinforcing critical knowledge over time, Hermann moves organizations from **90% learning loss to 90% learning retention** — reducing variability, protecting performance, and delivering measurable ROI without pulling teams off the job. [Book a Demo](https://go.pmglearning.com/hermann?hsLang=en#form-fill) ## Hermann Also Reduces Costs For CHROs and HR leaders, Hermann delivers more than better learning; it drives measurable efficiency across the entire training process. - No pulling employees off the job - Eliminates travel costs for retraining - Eliminates retraining costs - Easily deployed by lower-level admins, reducing costs for training personnel - Built-in validation & tracking on employee participation and performance - Major reduction in wasted training spend on forgotten learning ## How Hermann Works Get started in weeks using your frontline managers and existing content, no training migration required. Optional AI-assisted authoring speeds up rollout and helps personalize reinforcement at scale. ### Easy and Simple to Create, Administer, & Use Built from existing training content with no LMS migration required. Set up reinforcement in minutes and deliver it automatically. ### Use your existing training Hermann builds from the content you already have - no need to start from scratch. ### Easily create AI-powered reinforcement campaigns Use optional AI-assisted authoring or do it manually. Either way, it’s fast and simple. ### Track retention and performance Get clear insight into what’s actually being remembered vs where your gaps are. ## The Hermann Standard To conquer the forgetting curve organizations need to invest in training AND in retention - not just training alone.  The Hermann Standard is built around a simple idea: training doesn’t work unless it’s retained. We believe the new standard on long-term learning retention should be 90% - achieved by dedicating 95% of training budgets to delivery and 15% to reinforcement to ensure knowledge sticks. It’s the model that transforms short-term learning into long-term performance and makes your training actually stick.   ![Screen Shot 2025-06-26 at 12.31.16 PM](https://go.pmglearning.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screen%20Shot%202025-06-26%20at%2012.31.16%20PM.png?width=2000&height=1074&name=Screen%20Shot%202025-06-26%20at%2012.31.16%20PM.png "Screen Shot 2025-06-26 at 12.31.16 PM") WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE ## Backed by Science **Proven on the Job** 90 % Long-Term Retention vs 90% Forgotten 100 % Learner Pass Rate (Vs. 66% Initially) 75 % Reduction in Retraining Seat Time WHAT'S GETTING IN THE WAY OF TRAINING THAT WORKS? ## Your Training Concerns, Answered with Hermann You don’t have to. Forward-thinking organizations are shifting a small portion of their existing training budgets toward retention. The Hermann Standard recommends dedicating just 15% of your current spend to reinforcement, turning short-term learning into lasting performance. ##### ["I can't afford to invest more in my training."](https://go.pmglearning.com/cfo#collapse1-widget_1747837857755) Hermann adds a minimal cost compared to traditional retraining or rebuilding programs, making it cost-effective, quick to launch, and designed to maximize the ROI of what you’ve already built. ##### [“Our employees forget everything by the time they need it.”](https://go.pmglearning.com/cfo#collapse2-widget_1747837857755) Hermann uses spaced repetition and microlearning to reinforce knowledge over time so your team remembers what matters when it matters most. ##### [“I don't see the impact of our training.”](https://go.pmglearning.com/cfo#collapse3-widget_1747837857755) Most LMS platforms track completion, not comprehension. Hermann is built to drive retention after the initial training ends. ##### [“I want to avoid pitfalls and PR nightmares.”](https://go.pmglearning.com/cfo#collapse4-widget_1747837857755) From compliance violations to safety failures, the cost of forgotten training is high. Hermann reinforces critical knowledge before it becomes a risk. ##### [“Our LMS already has reinforcement tools.”](https://go.pmglearning.com/cfo#collapse5-widget_1747837857755) Most LMS platforms track completion, not comprehension. Hermann is built to drive retention after the initial training ends - no replacement, just reinforcement. # It's Not the Training - It's the Forgetting! You’ve already invested in training.  But it will all be wasted if you don’t invest a little bit in retention as well! Book a demo with our team now.
