Did you know that only 1% of a typical week is focused on training and development? Training is often undervalued. It can be an afterthought or lower down the budget list. In sport, managers do not bring in expensive and highly skilled players and then stop training them.
Effective and relevant training can help you to:
- Remain competitive
- Keep up with the latest industry practices and ever-changing technical standards
- Comply with legal and regulatory obligations
Maintaining a consistent level of learning across your organization can be complex. That is why you need to ensure that all personnel receive high-quality training.
QUALITY IS KEY
An organization’s greatest asset is its workforce. Unlocking their full potential is essential to creating a successful business. Employees must receive training that promotes continuous personal and professional development.
There are several statistics to consider:
- 7 out of 10 people said that training and development opportunities influence their decision to stay
- 87% of millennials said that professional development or career growth opportunities are very important
- A third of training hours were delivered with a combination of training methodologies
- 60% of time spent on training can be saved by automation and self-training through a learning management system (LMS)
- 24% increased profit margins were experienced by organizations that offered training
Add to these, the increasing number of people working from home or multiple sites, including remote locations, and the traditional classroom model may not always deliver optimum training.
STRONG LEADERSHIP AND SKILLS ARE KEY
Effective leadership and management can power a business towards success. To achieve this, the leadership team must be highly skilled and capable of implementing its knowledge in the workplace.
