3 Simple Tips to Bring Value to Company Training

As a business owner or manager, you want your employees to be happy and have the skills they need to be successful in their role. You invested time and money into training for that very reason. But how can you make sure that the training you offer is bringing you a return on investment? Here are three tips to maximize the value of training in your business.

Make it convenient

Many employees have a lot on their plate. You do not want to turn training into the task that they try to fit in and rush through. If you have not already, consider transitioning from in-person or live virtual training to online training courses that can be completed any place, any time, and at the pace of the individual. Give notice about the training course and a reasonable completion deadline and communicate reminders when the deadline is drawing near.

Make it meaningful

Employees feel valued when given training that promotes their success and ability to make an impact on an organization. Make sure the content of your training is clear and lets people know what is in it for them. What are the objectives of the course? How will the course help the employee be more successful in their role? Training has a purpose, and if those simple questions are not answered, then the purpose of the training could be lost on your employees.

An email campaign for a new training course is also great way to build excitement and let people know what to expect and why it is valuable, especially when the training has been requested by employees. For example, imagine employees have asked for a training on project management skills. Prior to the course launch, you send an email with the subject line "You asked, and we delivered! New Project Management Skills Training is coming soon!" In the subject line alone, you have told your employees that you listen to them, you value them, and you consider these skills important.

Make it company focused

Understanding and practicing the core values of a company boosts employee engagement and accountability. It is easy to find ready-made courses online, but they may not reflect the core values and vision of your business. With custom training, you have an opportunity to create training that goes beyond the training subject matter and share information in a way that is specific to the unique needs and goals of your business.
