Wouldn’t it be nice to have a solution that could fix multiple business problems in one-go? Sound too good to be true? It is not! For over 30 years, QuantumMark has utilized specialized training to help our clients achieve multiple goals at once. Our staff has fixed numerous business issues just by utilizing the right training for the right people. Read below to learn three ways training can help your business succeed:
Creates buy-in from all stakeholders
A business challenge many companies face is a lack of buy-in from the various internal and external stakeholders involved in a project or initiative. Without buy-in, there is usually no agreed upon solution or consensus. This in turn causes business delays and can lead to lost profits. Training, when created and delivered correctly, creates buy-in from all stakeholders. How? It shows them the benefits they get from the new initiative or project in their daily jobs and life. Also important is that it allows a space where questions can be asked and answered. This is one reason why training is often more effective when delivered by a third-party.
Promotes Seamless Technology Improvements
Technology and how we use it is constantly changing and improving. But the constant change can leave some employees feeling left behind, or unsure how to do their job correctly. But, if you build employee training into your technology improvements/changes, you are good to go. As Alexandra Kelly points out “As…agencies modernize their business technology operations, training current…employees is one of the critical steps in implementing a robust and sustainable new infrastructure…” A little extra planning upfront saves you headache and potentially employee turnover down the road. Think: train now, business success later.
Provides support in time of change
Many people try to bring about a new initiative or some sort of change but forget to provide support to those affected by it. Without a solid foundation, the initiatives/changes are likely to either fail or not be adopted fully, both of which lead to loss in ROI and profits. To great effect, training is the answer during these times of change. Training provides stakeholders the support they need on how changes affect their specific tasks. This focused help gives stakeholders confidence and the understanding needed to successfully operate daily in the “new” environment.
The three examples above are just some of many ways training solves key business problems. It is beneficial to look at training from a new perspective, as a tailored approach to each individual’s needs. The benefits you will receive from using training correctly are numerous and will add value for years to come.
