Creating well trained and developed staff through online training has an abundance of benefits for both the employee and the employer. Not only does it increase profit margins but it also creates a great work environment. Even so, 59% of employees say that they have had no workplace training.

This article looks at what staff training is, its importance, benefits, and how technology now plays a significant role. Let’s jump in:

What Is Staff Training 

Staff training is learning packages allocated to groups or individuals to grow their knowledge on a specific subject. With the aim to make them more rounded and efficient within their roles.

While training is compulsory for most new staff, organisations can also upskill their existing team to help improve their skills. Training your team makes them more efficient and has a vast number of benefits that we’ll get into next.

The Importance Of Staff Training

Job hunters are now more than ever weighing an organisations' employee training and development package before they decide to apply for a position. They value the training they’ll receive and the career development opportunities the job presents.

Whilst training benefits the employee by developing their skills, it also has massive benefits for an organisation. Let’s have a look at the benefits of staff training below:

More productive and higher efficiency

Once staff receive the training needed, they can complete their jobs quicker and more effectively, creating higher job satisfaction. Developing the right skills within new employees early, gets them up to speed quicker so that they can perform asefficient as experienced long term staff.

Decreases Staff Turnover

An organisation that invests in employee training and development gives their staff more reasons to stay with the organisation for longer. It shows that you value their personal development and want to see them grow. Employees feel as if they are a prevalent part of their team and make a difference. All this leads to them staying with your organisation longer.

Helps you attract better talent

As mentioned, job hunters are weighting training prospects higher on their list than ever before. A training program and development program that builds employees enables you to attract better talent in the hiring market.

More independent

Once employees have the skills required to complete their jobs, there is no need for them to be micromanaged. Training employees correctly means they can be independent and trusted to complete work on their own. 

Company culture

Creating a culture built around a want to learn can drive your organisation to the next level. Effective training for your staff makes them happier in their roles. Happier staff increases efficiency and decreases turnover. All making for excellent company culture.

How Can Technology Help?

There is no doubt about the importance of training. 98% of organisations now use technology to help enhance the knowledge and skills of their workforce more effectively. The e-Learning market has amassed a market size of $315 billion.

With a vast percentage of organisations utilising new advancements in technology, we look at how it can best help you:

Accessible to anyone anywhere

Online training through applications and learning management systems (LMS) gives you accessibility to your learning anywhere. Providing you with optimised job training for mobile that you can view on the way to work or in the comfort of your own home.

More efficient

Online learning is efficient in many ways. Training on average, is completed 40%-60% quicker than its in-class predecessor. Allocation of training on LMS platforms is made easy with intuitive authoring tools, allowing you to delegate training in mass or to an individual. The organisation and user friendly systems with everything in one place saves a ton of time.

Catering to all Learning Styles

If training is tailored to the individual's learning style, it will hugely increase the training effectiveness resulting in higher perdomiangin learning. Users get more engrossed and captivated by training that is right for them. Customisable learning pathways available on LMS solutions allow for the delivery of content that is right for the individual.

More captivating

We’ve all been there. Sitting in a classroom with information going in one ear and out the other. Online learning widely uses bitesize learning content helping combat boredom. The short form teachings are no longer than 5 minutes and cater toward dropping attention spans. Delivering concise and informative training quickly.

You don’t capture much data in a classroom setting. However, with online LMS solutions, you have a treasure trove to use. Course competition, time taken, test results, and more are all captured with the system. You can use these to sculpt your training courses further, look for skill gaps and improve employee satisfaction.
