If you don’t already offer external training opportunities to your employees, you need to. This isn’t only important for your company – it’s vital. This could be simply general training that focuses on building their confidence, an annual refresher update, or helping acquire new skills and knowledge that take employees to the next level. Or it might be something more specialised that benefits their individual role. Whatever type of training they undertake, it will be mutually beneficial for employee and employer. Benefits of training for the company and employees Firstly, it enables your employees to grow and progress for their own personal development an attractive company benefit for the ambitious. However, in doing so, they learn new skills whilst perfecting current ones. As they become more competent in their role they will be able to move into senior roles – which is all beneficial to the company. However, none of the training benefits would be possible without a constructive feedback process that helps to maintain and improve the quality of course teachers, content and supporting materials, and at SEED Training, this, we have, so you may be confident that all training is delivered in line with industry best practice and up to date information. It will also improve: Productivity Morale Company reputation Profitability Customer satisfaction Whilst reducing: Inefficient use of time Staff turnover Recruitment expenses True…You may have to budget for this as external training attracts more of a financial cost than internal but , you will very quickly see a significant return on your investment. So Why SEED Training? Well, to start with, we have the specific skills required to teach and train. Whilst we have experience in our specific field we also utilise the latest training techniques and technology required to pass on our knowledge successfully. “But we already have our own internal trainers!” Internal training sessions are conducted by someone that already works for your company. This is often someone from HR, but not always it depends on the purpose of the session and who the best person for the job is. Internal knowledge has its limits. The longer we work for a company or with a particular person/team, the easier it is to fall into the trap of groupthink . Staff are also more likely to become isolated and stuck in their ways of doing things, which can be detrimental to the company in the longer term. In the age of technology, every industry is changing rapidly…they’re HAVING to! Teams or companies that develop a ‘silo mentality’ risk falling behind their competitors, potentially damaging the brand and business by the use of outdated techniques, skills, or knowledge sets. External training like ours is conducted by experts from outside of your company. SEED training sessions break up groupthink and offer a fresh perspective on how things are or should be done. This can have a dramatic effect on company culture and the way your company develops moving forward. External training sessions also give teams the chance to learn from industry experts. The knowledge shared by people like David in our corporate training sessions can be invaluable. We can help companies to snap out of their ‘tradition is the only way’ mentality and view things from a new angle. In ever-changing industries such as Care, infrastructure, HR or retail, this is vital for teams who want to stand out. It also future- proofs teams and company knowledge because they’re learning from someone whose job it is to pay attention to industry trends. As trainers & facilitators, we also have experience working with dozens of businesses, giving us more experience and helping us to pick up on patterns that we can share within our training sessions. An external trainer may be more willing to use techniques and team-building exercises with which a manager might not be familiar or less willing to use. The “Indeed Career Guide” for example, explains that role playing is an effective way to teach employees how to handle challenging scenarios such as dealing with angry or unreasonable patients or customers. Training is an investment that helps ensure the future success of your company. Part of maximizing the return on this investment is knowing when you can take on the training yourself, and when to seek outside expertise by partnering with expert training consultants. In many cases, outside support can save you a great deal of money, even if it isn’t always immediately apparent! You know what they say: “Buy cheap, buy twice” Here’s a look at just some of the benefits of outsourced training: Access to expertise: External trainers are often experts in their fields and can provide insights and knowledge that may not be available internally. This can be especially valuable for niche or specialized topics. An outsourced training provider can help develop new training initiatives for your organisation and further align training spend with business requirements. Hiring us to lead a training initiative can ensure a higher level of learning consistency across the business. Delegates will benefit from exposure to proven training techniques, and will learn the skills they need in a more efficient and effective manner. The quicker new skills are learned, the quicker they can be applied to the business, which can translate into a competitive advantage. Improved organisational efficiency: Hiring an outside training provider such as SEED allows you to focus on its core competencies. External training providers can help you align training initiatives with key business objectives, ensuring all training efforts support larger company goals. Ideally, SEED will also assist in implementing post-training updates. These can help organisations maximise learning ‘Return-On-Investment’ and better determine training’s impact on company operations, culture, etc. Fresh perspective: External trainers can bring a fresh perspective and new ideas to the table, which can help you to innovate and stay ahead of the curve. We come to your employees with no preconceptions of either them or your business. This means we might discover inefficiencies with the company or opportunities for improvement. We have worked with a range of businesses and a variety of employees that gives us a unique perspective. Tailoring: We offer customised training programs that can be tailored to meet the specific needs of your organisation. This can help to ensure that the training is relevant and effective. Networking: External training can provide opportunities to network with other professionals in your field, which can help you to build relationships and learn from others' experiences. Cost-effectiveness: In some cases, external training can be more cost-effective than developing and delivering training programs internally there are lots of hidden costs when done in-house. This is especially true for small or mid-sized organisations lacking the resources to develop and deliver training programs. Research indicates that eLearning has only a 5% retention rate after a week, against 30-60% for face to face training. Companies who send their employees on external training courses typically enjoy a 37% higher productivity rate over those who don’t (Smart Survey, 2022) , so the benefits of external employee training become obvious. Buy cheap, Buy twice! THAT’s why you should choose SEED Training and our associates!
