I’m just back from a fantastic holiday in Canada. Time away gave me the chance to reflect on how grateful I am to enjoy a career that I am passionate about and find rewarding. It also reminded me to keep focusing on the things that energise me.
My first day back to work was even more special when I opened my emails to see the following message from a client to whom I delivered the ‘Train the Trainer’ course earlier this year.
“Hi Jacqueline,
Just wanted to give you a quick update on the employee I was having challenges with and seeking your advice on different approaches/techniques to assist with his training. Finally, we have achieved success and all the hard work, different approaches and techniques have paid off and he is turning in to a great asset to the Team.
Thank you so much for listening to me and giving me various options/approaches. All the Training I have attended with yourself has given me the knowledge to change my style/approach and tailor any training to the individual – when required.” (Team Lead in a leading clinical trial laboratory services organisation.)
It’s great to see the impact of the training to my client’s organisation!
In today’s competitive business landscape, organisations strive to enhance their workforce’s capabilities to gain a competitive advantage. One of the most significant ways to achieve this is through employee training and development programs.
If interested to find out how training can benefit your business, then here are the top six reasons on why training is good for businesses.
- Enhanced Job Performance:
Training programs equip employees with the knowledge and skills they need to perform their tasks more effectively and efficiently. Whether it’s on-the-job training, workshops, seminars, or online courses, employees gain valuable insights that empower them to tackle challenges with confidence. Improved job performance leads to higher productivity, better-quality outputs, and increased customer satisfaction.
- Boost Employee Confidence and Morale:
When employees are equipped with the right training, they feel more competent and capable in their roles. This boost in confidence positively impacts their morale, leading to increased job satisfaction and reduced turnover rates. Moreover, when employees see their organisation investing in their development, they are more likely to feel valued and committed to their employer.
- Foster Innovation and Adaptability:
Training goes beyond just upgrading existing skills; it fosters a culture of innovation and adaptability within the organisation. Employees who receive ongoing training are more open to learning and embracing change. This adaptability is crucial in today’s fast-paced business environment, where organisations must stay agile to thrive.
- Employee Retention and Talent Attraction:
Organisations that prioritize employee training and development tend to attract top talent in the industry. Prospective employees view such companies as great places for personal and professional growth. Additionally, by investing in training, organisations reduce the risk of losing valuable employees to competitors, leading to higher retention rates.
- Improved Organisational Performance:
The impact of training on employee performance ripples through the entire organisation. When individual employees enhance their skills and knowledge, the overall organisational performance improves. The accumulated effect of competent and skilled employees leads to enhanced productivity, reduced errors, and increased innovation, ultimately contributing to business success.
- Bridging the Skills Gap in the Market:
As industries evolve, new skills become essential for success. By providing specialised training, organisations can contribute to bridging the skills gap in the job market. This not only benefits the organisation itself but also the broader community and industry as a whole.
