Understanding corporate training in practice

An important part of a company is its employees. Their ability to perform certain functions is key to building a thriving working environment.

No matter your industry, knowledge is power. It makes people able and independent to carry out their tasks with great efficiency.

In order to align the company's expectations with the capabilities of its employees, it is necessary to use an indispensable tool: corporate training.

We've put together this short article on how you can start using this powerful strategy.

What is corporate training?

Corporate training is the practice of the company providing content geared to the activities of its employees in each of their functions. This attitude demonstrates, on the part of the company, the value that each employee has for it.

Some companies are already using corporate education to create not only a better working environment, but also to improve the lives of their employees. Some of these trainings also talk about time management, personal finance and other subjects related to staff well-being.

The learning curve for new employees is very fast, with training geared to their new role. This makes it easier to hire new employees.

A survey by the Work Institute's 2018 Retention Report revealed that one in four employees leave their position due to a lack of personal development. This factor is corrected when implementing corporate training.

How do you effectively implement corporate training? At Hotscool a consultant will help you with all the details. But if you'd like to venture into this important task, here are some tips:

1. Planning: Before thinking about training content, take the time to identify the company's needs and how the content can address each of them. It's good practice to ask employees for suggestions about the training they would like to receive.
2. Themes, objectives and goals: Good planning is followed by a clear strategy. Separate the most relevant topics for the team. Then write down the objectives to be achieved with each topic. The best way to assess future performance is to set performance targets for each topic.
3. Duration: Consistency is very important. Try to create quick, succinct training sessions that employees can watch again whenever necessary.
4. Calendar: Have a concrete routine for creating new training to meet the company's current and future needs. The human resources sector plays a key role in this task.
5. Follow-up: Visit employees regularly to collect feedback on the training they have received. The same can be done at the end of each training session using a digital platform such as Hotscool.
