Workplace training is an investment and is key to sustaining an organisations growth and success. Workplace training shows employees that their company puts great value in personal and professional development.
Dedicated training increases employee engagement, and an engaged, focussed and efficient workforce is vital to your company’s overall performance and productivity.
Workplace training has the added benefit of supporting employees to identify and develop their own strengths and skills, this ensures that they are better equipped for their own roles and as they move forward with your organisation, they are more likely to take on positions that they feel motivated to succeed in.
Investing in training and development gives employees a greater sense of autonomy and worth which in turn increases employee confidence. Empowered employees are more likely to be loyal to the organisations they work for.
A focussed and relevant employee training programme supports employees to develop their knowledge and skills and if an organisations development programme is employee led and varied this will encourage greater productivity and performance.
Regular training and development initiatives can prevent workplace dissatisfaction and ensure employees remain motivated and engaged. It is far more beneficial for organisations to focus their resources on to existing talent rather than having to consistently re-recruit, so it pays to concentrate your efforts in to training and development.
An organisation always has a choice to obtain future leaders through recruitment or to develop current employees into key leadership positions. Identifying employees with the relevant skills for leadership can be fundamental in creating a business that will grow and succeed. Forbes stated in a recent article ‘Promoting your employees into leadership positions is not only easier on your budget and HR department, but also a smart business move. Companies known for developing and empowering their people, like IBM, have real staying power’
A dedicated workplace training programme can be a valuable opportunity for employees to develop their working relationships and identify opportunities to collaborate. It can focus employees to develop skills, increase knowledge and increase their confidence to tackle challenges – whether independently or alongside colleagues. Research has shown that learning alongside colleagues leads to a more accomplished workforce who learn from each other’s strengths.
Workplace training is vital to ensure all the above but what training you offer also plays an important role in employee engagement and retention.
