Why Companies Should Choose Training & Development Programmes
Training and development refer to educational activities within a company created to enhance the knowledge and skills of employees while providing information and instruction on how to better perform specific tasks.
but training and development is often a key area for debate in many boardrooms.
The most important benefits of training are:
-
To keep up with
industry changes. -
To be in touch with all the latest
technology developments. -
To stay ahead
of competitors. -
To be able to recognise
weaknesses and skill gaps. -
To retain human capital
(not, if we train, we will lose!) – training increases job satisfaction levels.
It also prevents competitors from taking away your best employees by offering training incentives and providing internal promotion opportunities. Employing new staff involves high recruitment
costs and hiring fees. However, with ongoing training, your existing staff can become more eligible for internal promotions. Unlike new staff, you can guarantee they have a complete
knowledge of your business, the correct skill set and are people that you know and trust.
The current
buzzwords in choosing
training programmes:
MULTI-SKILLING
A wise man once said that specialisation is for insects rather than people, but while there’s a place for specialists, there are also huge advantages to be found in having a multi-skilled workforce - being able to call on trained staff that you know and trust rather than relying on outside consultants or labour brokers when the need arises. Multi-skilling is a skill that is extremely beneficial to organisations that must cope with fast-paced, reactive environments (most commonly every business nowadays).
UPSKILLING
Upskilling is a workplace trend that facilitates continuous learning by providing training programmes and development opportunities that expand an employee's abilities and minimise skill gaps. Upskilling focuses on improving current employees' skill sets, usually through training, so they can advance in their jobs and find different roles and opportunities within the company.
RESKILLING
Reskilling refers to replacing an employee's outdated skills with new skills that meet the needs of the changing market. Reskilling often requires an employee to be sent back to college or a trade school to earn a degree or certification in a different field.
How do you choose a suitable
training and
development programme?
Ask yourself these questions:
What are your training needs?
What are the training needs of your company, or your staff?
Why do you need training?
Your first step would be to do a Training Needs Analysis! A Training Needs Analysis would place the focus on your, or your organisation’s goals and objectives, helping you to determine the tasks and people needed to reach those goals and ultimately, the objectives. And then, implement the training ensuring that you choose the right training provider – someone you can trust like you trust your investor or bank where you would invest your money.
