Training Matters
HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT TRAINING TO SUIT YOU AND YOUR BUSINESS There are many reasons that businesses seek training for their staff and managers. Training can come in many forms, at varying costs, with a variety of delivery methods and outcomes, which can make the decision making process very confusing. Before you even begin to research what is available, or sign on the dotted line, consider the following questions. • Why do you believe your staff/self require training? • Have you observed gaps in your staff member’s knowledge and or skills within their job role? • Have there been incidents or accidents that demonstrate a need for gap training? • Do you have new products, systems or services that require an induction style training program? • Have you had complaints that have highlighted a need for specific refresher training? • Has your industry had recent changes in legislation, or requires updates in qualifications?
