The Importance of Training Courses

Introduction;

According to the dictionary, the “training” is the process of learning the skills that you need for a particular job or activity.

Starting from the definition, professional training is the educational function of a company to satisfy present needs and prevent future requirement based on the preparation and ability of employees.

Today there is no manager, director or leader at any level who has not attended, or organized for their staff or for themselves a seminar, course or conference with the aim of generating or sharing knowledge, understanding a new concept, updating to new software, new machines or new methodologies.

All this focused to having a better performance in their current and future positions.

“A trained teams are the best tool of a company.”

People are essential for companies, the success depends more and more on the knowledge, skills and abilities of their workers. A well-trained employee is something valuable, productive and an example to others. A company with trained personnel can achieve competitive advantages over others and even allow it to expand into other markets that it had never thought or planned to access.

Training is a means for the employee to feel committed to his company and put on “company shirt”, self-motivation is achieved that leads him to integrate more into the organization, feel part of it with a long-term plan.

It is an investment that gives constant benefits to the company, since to the extent that the staff is better prepared and trained, fewer mistakes are made, which allows for a higher quality of work.

Training at all levels is one of the best investments a company can make, it guarantees to the employees to have the strength and confidence necessary to develop any activity through the most important source of power, the knowledge.

What skills I improve on my team by training?

Vision y Mission. The ideal way to share the desired future and “the reason for being” of the company is undoubtedly through training. Since we are born, human beings do precisely what they teach us.
Quality. There are evident improvements in the processes and in the productivity of the employees, the most intelligent and successful managers have understood that the collaborators are their greatest competitive advantage and therefore they invest time and money in preparing, motivating, developing and integrating them into the mission and vision. of the organization. This makes the organization grow and obtain good results in productivity. Training the staff of a company can even improve the serenity of the employees. If leaders foster a better relationship and people feel more secure when they perform, there is an evident improvement in harmony in the work environment.
Safety. Every human needs to learn in order to carry out the missions and avoid the risks inherent in the activities to be carried out, because of this the worker needs to be trained, to learn. The ILO estimates that there are more than one million deaths each year in the world as a result of work-related incidents. Organizations with trained personnel suffer fewer incidents, since their collaborators know the way to act according to security protocols and in emergency situations.
Higher profit. “Right Management” magazine tells us that companies that invest in training make 24% more profit than companies that invest less. Capable employees require minimal monitoring, leaders can fully dedicate themselves to working on the company’s mission.
Staff loyalty. “IBM the value of training” says that employees who feel that they cannot develop in their company are 12 times more inclined to look for another job. According to the Aberdeen Group, 86% of new employees decide to stay or leave a company during the first six months and are 69% more inclined to stay more than 3 years with the company if they participate in a good training and induction program. Investing in the development of skills is key in employees, it increases the probability that they will be the future leaders of the organization, since they know the internal way of working and can continue towards the achievement of goals.

Is training considered expensive?

Actually, the expensive thing is NOT to train your staff! Training may seem expensive if you look at the present, but when you begin to look to the future you will see that it is a great investment.

Definitely, ignorance is more expensive; When you don’t train often, the chances of failure are high and the losses can be greater.

Conclusion;

The world where we live change quickly, technologies change and we constantly face up to situations of adjustment, adaptation, transformation and development. That is why it is vitally important to always be up-to-date.

Therefore, employee training is vital, since it is an important factor that helps to be competitive and more efficient, giving results in the short and long term.
