What is Employee Training & Onboarding and Why is it Important?

Employee training and onboarding is an essential part of any successful business. It helps new employees understand the company culture, values, and goals, as well as learn the skills needed to do their job effectively. With proper training and onboarding, businesses can ensure that their employees are productive and successful from day one. Additionally, employee training and onboarding can help reduce turnover rates by giving new hires a sense of belonging in the company. Furthermore, it can also help improve employee morale and increase job satisfaction. All in all, investing in employee training & onboarding is key for any organization looking to build a strong team of engaged employees who are committed to achieving success.

 

Strategy #1 – Create a Comprehensive Employee Training Plan

A comprehensive employee training plan is essential for any organization to ensure the success of its business. It allows organizations to invest in developing their employees at all levels and stages in their careers and creates a culture focused on learning and growth. A well-structured training plan can help employees acquire new skills, stay up-to-date on industry trends, and increase their productivity. It also helps to build a strong team spirit and cultivate a sense of loyalty among employees. By implementing a comprehensive employee training plan, organizations can create an environment that encourages innovation and collaboration while providing the necessary resources for employees to succeed.

Strategy #3 – Leverage Certifications and Incentives to Improve Engagement

Incentives provide a great way of motivating employees to learn new skills and complete tasks. They also give them something to strive for, which helps them stay focused on the task at hand. Gamification is also a great way of making the training process more enjoyable and engaging for employees. By incorporating elements such as leaderboards and rewards, companies can make sure that their employees are actively engaged in the training process.

Certification-based learning allows for a progressive learning strategy by role and level. Certification learning provides employees with a very clear path for their development and can tie to promotion opportunities.  Earning certifications based on course completion also allows for customized learning journeys designed for leveling up skills while continuing to challenge employees.  Leveraging certification-based learning is ideal for any career advancement program.

Overall, leveraging gamification, incentives, and certifications can be a powerful tool to improve employee engagement in training programs. It encourages collaboration, competition, and rewards which keeps employees motivated while they learn new skills.

"SET A GOAL THAT MAKES YOU WANT TO JUMP OUT OF BED IN THE MORNING."

Goal setting is one of the most important aspects to have in life because it gives people the capability to set out their intentions and targets with a sense of purpose. It also helps prioritize and provides a sense of purpose in life.

According to the article by Forbes, a goal can be anything people want to do or a specific action they need to accomplish. For example, a person may want to become rich and have a huge mansion, or someone may want to exceed their sales goal by 20% to get a higher commission payout or win an incentive trip. A goal can be something as simple as getting up at 7:00 am every day or something more complex like taking a competitive programming certification in order to level up their skills for a job promotion. In order to set goals, you must have a clear idea of what you want in your life and how to achieve it. One way to start setting goals is by writing down what your passions are, what you like doing, and why. Then you can use these ideas to establish a goal and it becomes about getting better at something or learning more about it.
