Everyone knows a successful company is made possible by a team of strong employees. Training your team as a group can make your strong employees even stronger. Group training provides a wealth of benefits. Here are just a few factors of how group training can improve your team.
Quality vs Quantity
Training has significantly changed over the course of the last five years and especially since the COVID-19 pandemic. Demands for in-person, instructor-led training have migrated to on-demand options, but depending on the course, on-demand training isn’t always the best option and can impact quality of instruction and retention. In short, some classes should not be taught as on-demand, and the presence of a live instructor makes a difference.
Investing in Your Employees and Efficiency
Today, knowledge and skillsets can be relevant in one moment and outdated in the next, particularly within the world of information technology. Without access to learning and upskilling to keep knowledge up to date, other skills or attributes lose their impact. Investing in employee training can lead to significant cost savings for your company in the long run. Well-trained employees make fewer mistakes, reducing the costs associated with errors and rework.
Maximizing Your Training Budget
Training more people doesn’t equal spending more money! Group training will absolutely make your training dollars extend further, reducing the per person cost significantly. Instead of paying suggested retail per person, group training allows for deep discounts to be applied to the class as a whole and can reduce per person costs up to 50% or more.
Bridging the Gaps
After the COVID-19 pandemic, we saw companies make major shifts to remote or hybrid workforces. No matter the industry, this has reduced departmental collaboration and opportunities for employee face to face interaction. Group training provides an opportunity and venue for employees to gather, share knowledge, and empower employees across all departments, which improves morale and supports a positive company brand.
A Confidence Boost
There is scientific evidence linking learning and happiness. Learning increases self-determination and motivation, gives people a broader worldview, and offers perspective. Whether you subscribe to an on-demand library for employees, have your own proprietary LMS, or outsource your employee training, there is always room to add in-person or instructor-led training to your training offerings.
