Bio: | Employee skills training is basically training which helps workers improve their existing skills and learn new skills so as to get a promotion, remain employed, or boost job performance. There are numerous benefits of employee skills training. The main one is improved job performance. This is usually achieved by helping employees to acquire new skills which they can use to do their jobs better. Below are some of the most important advantages of skills training.
Apart from improving job performance, employee skills training also helps companies reduce the costs associated with training. There are two types of training strategies that firms use either teaching hard skills or using soft skills. As an example, if a firm wishes to increase customer service then it will focus on hard skills. On the other hand, soft skills training has an significant role in raising the firm's profitability through sales and customer service. Apart from benefiting employees, employee skills training also helps firms save money on various activities. One of these is the price of on-the-job training. Most companies invest a huge amount of money on paying coaches for imparting new technologies. But there are numerous ways whereby they can make savings. The most cost-effective is through implementation of new technologies using employee skills training. New technologies are often very complicated and require lots of expertise. Often, employees are not trained to use them. When soft skills training program is implemented, employees will be taught how to utilize these new technologies. Once employees start using these technologies at work, the managers will no longer have to pay for training sessions. The expense of on-the-job training therefore tends to reduce drastically. New technologies, when implemented with worker skills training, can help improve productivity and cut costs at the same time. Another way in which employee skills training can help companies save money is through bridging the skills gap. A skills gap refers to the difference in the understanding level of employees in both their job positions and at the training they've received. Oftentimes, the gap is quite wide, meaning employees do not possess the same level of skills in any respect. When these skills gaps are bridged through worker skills training, companies will have the ability to bring people of the same skill level together, thereby reducing the gap. A good example of a company that realized the value of classroom instruction but failed to take it into practice is Starbucks. While hiring employees in 2021, the coffee chain conducted an employee skills training program, which focused on online training, in addition to classroom training. Only 20% of the respondents said they were proficient in using the Internet, as opposed to the business's expectations, which was to train their workers in utilizing the technologies in question. Some of the blame can be attributed to the fact that Starbucks didn't conduct its program in the conventional classroom setting, as that is what many classroom coaching programs are intended to do. It seems that the high level of expectations that respondents had, and the low interest in attending classroom instruction, were the main reasons why this program failed. The company did conduct an internet survey to ascertain why its online training and classroom training programs were so unsuccessful. The primary reason cited was that the respondents didn't believe the materials provided were relevant or interesting. The survey also revealed that the majority of those surveyed didn't feel comfortable in engaging with training materials on the computer. Another reason why classroom training and online instruction might not be effective is that those who did attend them were not motivated enough to utilize the skills learned. |
