Dutch term or phrase: PS
"Stel, je doet alles ‘volgens het boekje’ en mensen pikken het toch niet op. Wat doe je dan? Je moet kunnen variëren in manieren om je mensen te leren wat ze moeten leren – ... Het is voor beide partijen een prettiger ervaring om te merken dat hetgeen ingetraind wordt ook opgepikt wordt door de PS."
This abbreviation appears only once in the whole text.
I can't get the meaning. Can you help me?

On second reading, I think 'PS' refers to "mensen":

"en mensen pikken het toch niet op" <=> "dat hetgeen ingetraind wordt ook opgepikt wordt door de PS"...

I withdraw my guess !!
