Why Choose Us?
© SEED Training 2023
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!
