Do your employees enjoy going to work? Or are they bored and lack motivation? Do they do the same thing day after day? What if they had a job that was fun and exciting where they learned new skills?

Employees want to do well and impress; they don’t want to go to work to perform badly.

That is where development training comes into play. It is vital for businesses!

Businesses need to maximize the impact of their internal training. They need to create a culture of personal development; and nurture and empower their employees to develop as individuals.

Colin Gray helps businesses, educational institutions, and others realize the importance of training and make it a priority. Then, he helps them build systems to make that training available and effective.

Training needs to be engaging. Also, there needs to be both prescribed training - such as training that focuses on company processes, and intrapreneural training - which allows employees to select training that interests them and may or may not be related to their job.

Colin’s Actionable Tips: How businesses can start implementing effective training regimes

* Establish training development schedule: Sit down with employees and determine what prescribed training and intrapreneural training should be done. What kind of training is the employee interested in exploring? It may not be training that is for the employee’s job, but training that will offer personal development.
* Create learning platforms: Use content management systems like WordPress to develop training. Or utilize companies and experts that can help you develop the training. There are several ways to create training. Get your hands dirty. It’s not that difficult!
* Use multimedia: Create podcasts (audio) and videos (visual). Get your staff involved. Let them share their skills and expertise. This makes employees feel like they are valuable, and fellow employees identify with people they work with.
