Modern companies have found significant value in empowering their employees – especially through skills training and development. Unfortunately, there are few regulations governing the quality of different training programmes and often companies don’t get to have much input into the direction that course modules take. This is where corporate universities, often known as branded academies, come into play. These training and coaching programmes are designed with more than a profit in mind. They are specialised spheres in which targeted courses are designed with one-on-one input from the company requesting the course. This allows them to create courses that are as targeted, specific or comprehensive as the client would like – dealing with challenges specific to their staff, department industry and company. These academies also provide a total training package in order to have complete quality control over the coursework, training delivery and certification process. In addition, this also allows you to have complete control of the training budget, lowering your training costs while getting you the results you’re looking for. Because employees are trained more effectively at corporate universities, the results – in terms of empowerment, upliftment and general positivity – are more pronounced and long lasting. Staff who have experienced this level of training have increased confidence in their skills and in their ability to learn, making them more flexible about taking on new technology and processes. They will be more efficient at their jobs, able to take on more projects and responsibility – all with a positive attitude. As a result, this highly effective staff training is a worthwhile investment, bringing an increase in productivity, teamwork and your company’s ability to expand its market share.

Branded academies – like those offered by Effectiveness Company – are instrumental in cementing the positive relationship between training and development and productivity. They do this by offering individual companies and departments a high-quality total training package that is completely aligned with their specific goals and training requirements. By making training a highly targeted, goal-oriented process that isn’t just industry-specific but also company specific, the results of the training are also more focussed and applicable. This innovative take on training and development results in: Higher morale – as staff members have the tools to do their jobs efficiently. This confidence increases employee motivation and job satisfaction. Increased flexibility – as staff members become more aware of their potential in the workplace. Their ability to learn and achieve creates a willingness to continue on that path of development to learn and master new technologies, systems and processes. This also assists staff in realising their potential to actively participate in the company, creating a creative and innovative workforce. Higher retention – as employees feel more valued in their workplace, so staff turnover decreases. This creates a more stable work environment where positive team dynamics can effectively develop and mature. This overall leads to a measurable increase in productivity, leading to potential financial gains for the company, an enhanced company image and reputation as well as a more efficient, creative and cost-saving workforce.

In a tough global economy, more and more businesses are turning to employee outsourcing solutions, training and development as a means to optimise business growth. After all, hiring new people who already have the necessary skills is expensive, time-consuming and has no guarantees, since new employees off the street often lack the sense of company loyalty that develops over time. In times of plenty, companies are more likely to increase spending on new hires because their profit margins are bigger, but in leaner times like today’s market, it makes a lot more sense to give people who are already a part of the company more responsibility, increasing their loyalty. Similarly, outsourced employees who have undergone training are guaranteed to stay in their positions as long as you require them. Their company loyalty will also increase at the same time as their sense of ownership in the brand will be boosted, motivating them to take on responsibility and work harder. This means that companies who invest in outsourcing solutions along with employee training and development are more likely to get the greater returns they are looking for. This method is also a sound way of reducing necessary hiring costs, as employers can affordably outsource staff for administrative positions and rather move trained, experienced and loyal employees into more senior positions. This method essentially unlocks the valuable leadership potential that already exists within employees rather than having to compete for leaders available on the job market. In this manner, growth can still be achieved in a streamlined, cost-effective manner. As you can see, training and development takes the form of ‘growth from within’, rather than ‘growth from without’, effectively building, growing and establishing brands in a cost-effective manner that encourages employee loyalty.
