Corporate Employee Training to Build Credibility - Sav Skills

Corporate Employee Training – An Avenue for Building Your Organization's Credibility

Someone asked him, “what if you train everyone and they all leave?” One CEO responded, “What if we don’t train them and they all stay?”

Sentence from Stephen Covey's book, 'The Speed of Trust.'

For organizations and businesses to thrive and become seasoned, its people have to demonstrate with consistency character and competence. Character and competence build stakeholders’ confidence and trust hence, brand building.

Stephen Covey reiterates, “Trust is a function of two things: character and competence. Character includes your integrity, your motive and your intent with people. Competence includes your capabilities, your skills, and your track record. Both are vital.”

Mostly, entrepreneurs, business persons, and organizations address the former through strategic planning forgetting the most important part of the equation – the latter (COMPETENCE/results/track record.)

Results Matter

“You can’t create a high-trust culture unless people perform.” – Craig Weatherup, former CEO, Pepsi Co

The moment small businesses, entrepreneurs and mature organizations realize the meaning of the standard investment prospectus which states, “Past performance is no guarantee of future results.” It is the moment they will understand that one sure way to keep enhancing employees’ respective TASKS is through continuous training and development.
We are in a global economy that is constantly undergoing change – the only way to adapt to change is through training and not just accumulating years of experience. Lack of continuous training and development leads to irrelevancy.

“If you do not like change, you are going to like irrelevance even less.” – General Eric Shinseki, U.S. Army Chief of Staff.

Research by Karim, Md & Choudhury, Musfiq & Bin Latif, Wasib (2019) reiterated that employees are the major assets of any organization. Every single organization needs well-trained employees to perform company activities and responsibilities effectively and efficiently. Continuous training programs help employees develop skills, knowledge, and abilities. We are living in a globalization era and training is crucial for competence and a challenging business environment.

The success and significance of organizations depend solely on employee discipline and performance.

Do your employees have years of experience or what they really have is one year of experience repeated by the number of years they have been working with you in the organization?

Here are a few credible benefits on how important it is to invest in continuous employee training and development goals.

1. Promotes Employee Satisfaction

Life is about movement and we as human beings we are purpose, progress, and growth-driven, very few of us are happy to stand still. Regardless of how much we are paid if there are no growth opportunities, we eventually get tired and bored with the obvious due to stunted career or work opportunities leading to our exit.
When employees are presented with continuous growth opportunities they feel appreciated, valued, and supported hence satisfaction.

2. Improved Standards of Performance.

Continuous training and development provide a platform for employee talents, attitudes, skills, knowledge, and styles sharpening. Through this process, employees and teams are able to pause, evaluate, eliminate and relocate their habits, behaviors vs company resources and standards to greater performance.

3.Promotes Employee Loyalty.

Active and continuous investment in employees not only enhances employee satisfaction and enhances performance standards, but it also lowers voluntary turnovers since employees feel more valued, confident, and most importantly they become competent in their roles making it hard for them to jump ship for competitors.

4. The Attraction of Great Employees.

According to one study, 39.3 percent of respondents named “growth” as a top consideration when evaluating a new job prospect. These statistics are further supported by Gallup’s assertion that, increasingly, millennials view individual jobs as development opportunities.
A greater focus on continual training offers the opportunity to recruit the best and brightest in the market.

5. Organization's Continuous Improvement.

Creativity and innovation can be enhanced through continuous and consistent employee training and development.
Invest in continual learning, growth and reinventing yourself, your business, your company, or your organization and you will have a different story to tell.

Invest in continuous training and development programs for your respective teams and build a future where employees, customers, partners, investors, and society wins.

“The complacent company is a dead company. Success today requires the agility and drive to constantly rethink, reinvigorate, react, and reinvent.” – Bill Gates, Chairman, Microsoft.
