Training and workshops

Training and workshops to engage your employees and build future leaders

Training and workshops are essential for developing future leaders. We understand the value that facilitated workshops and in-house training courses and masterclasses can add to employee knowledge and their over all effectiveness and engagement. Very few small or medium sized businesses invest in formal professional workshops and training for employees. The reason being that these organisations see training as a cost rather than a value added service.

Well facilitated training and workshops can really go a long way to engage your employees and provide them with valuable knowledge and skills.

Learning, continued development and training and workshops at the Director and Senior Executive level is vital to keep your organisation’s key leaders up to date on core areas of expertise and knowledge.

Training and workshops are facilitated for your Directors and Senior Executives Learning and Development Needs

There is a common perception that only large organisations need to develop their leadership and management teams. The reality is that all businesses should actively plan training and development for key leaders and their management teams to ensure that they have the latest tools and skills to direct their organisation and teams to achieve business excellence.

If you ask many executive directors are there areas of training or development you need they will say “we already have the necessary knowledge, skills and experience and don’t need to waste time to attend training or development workshops”. This is a misconception as the moment we cease to learn we are allowing ourselves to become less pertinent and as our peers advance and develop their skill sets we face the risk of falling behind or becoming irrelevant.

All successful organisations understand and see the value of training and workshops for developing their directors, senior executives, senior managers and their teams. This can be by way of hard skills, namely technical and professional skills based training or soft skills training – emotional intelligence, corporate culture and effective communication.

Workshops – The benefits of Planned Training, Masterclasses and Facilitated Workshops

Training and workshops are an integral part of the human resource management strategy to keep directors, senior executives and employees engaged and forms the backbone of an organisation’s development centre to strengthen and up-skill the workforce. An empowered, experienced and engaged workforce will be primed to solve complex problems and work together to achieve corporate, divisional and team objectives.

In the words of Richard Branson, “train people well enough so they can leave, treat them well enough so they don’t want to”. A learning organisation has much lower rates of attrition and less low performers who need to be managed out of the business.

Most employees and managers are likely to have a sense of loyalty and gratitude for an organisation and its senior management team for investing in their training and development. It also provides a natural pipeline for succession planning and leadership development.

Training and workshops don’t just take the form of formal, classroom style training. The best training or development programs we have been part of will break down inhibitions and create a safe and sharing environment of learning. We like to operate a ‘Chatham House Rules’ during debates and discussion panels on training or coaching sessions.

Going into training and workshops, development centres or coaching sessions with an open mind will guarantee participates with a unique opportunity to share and receive from peers, colleagues and the facilitator of the sessions. Well facilitated training and workshops sessions will help individuals to explore their experiences and will encourage them to further share successful problem solving and innovative solutions to avoid or reconcile conflict or bottlenecks.

We like to work with teams to develop and enhance collaborative problem-solving and idea generation incubators.
