Good for your business
Training can improve business performance, profit and staff morale. Advantages to your business include:
- you choose what new skills your workforce gains, targeting skills to meet the needs of your operation for now and in the future
- training your staff can result in better customer service, better work safety practices and productivity improvements
- you demonstrate to your workforce that you value them enough to invest in them, improving loyalty and staff retention. In turn, retention is a saving to you.
Good for your workers
Training has many benefits for your staff:
- they acquire new skills, increasing their contribution to the business and building their self-esteem
- the training they do can take them into other positions within the organisation – positions with better prospects and/or better pay
- they’re upskilled to do new and different tasks, which keeps them motivated and fresh
- because they’re being trained on your time, they see that you value them enough to invest in them. A good company is seen as one that retrains rather than churns.
