Development and Training – Key Motivator
Research is now confirming the importance of 'engaged employees', a regular theme of mine.
Development and training is one easy way to help your employees become more engaged. People choose to work with organisations that encourage development. More importantly, employees stay with you if you continue to provide opportunities for development, whether formally or informally.
People produce their best work when they are interested and committed to what they do. If they believe in their organisation’s products and services, and they can see that the organisation values their contribution by supporting their development in concrete ways, they are very likely to be 'engaged'.
An organisation with a strong commitment to development is likely to have 'engaged' employees. An 'engaged' employee is a motivated employee. A skilled and motivated employee is a high performance employee. Lots of high performance employees mean high performing organisations.
The right employee training and development provides big pay-offs for the employer in increased productivity, knowledge, loyalty, and contribution to general growth of the firm. This for sure will introduce positive changes where necessary.
The reasons behind employee training and development cannot be overemphasized. From our discussions so far, one can easily deduce some reasons behind firms engaging in training and developing their staff.
I strongly believe in the thoughts expressed in this article. Yes, I have a bias, because developing individuals and organisations is what I do. I am strongly engaged with my work. During every training course I receive feedback that shows me this is the right approach to take.
I encourage you to develop your employees. Your company will be rewarded, and so may you personally.
