The benefits of workplace training stack up over time

CANBERRA, Australia - Sept. 20, 2022 - PRLog -- Workplace training is a structured learning program that provides employees with the knowledge, behaviours and experience needed to successfully perform their job roles. While hiring someone with the right skillset, attitude and behaviours is the dream for many organisations, it is not the reality of the labour market. This makes proactive employee development in the workplace (and beyond) a crucial business activity. That's the lowdown from the Acorn subject matter experts in their latest article on knowledge in the workplace.

Development opportunities are beneficial for both employees and an organisation as a whole. Employees feel valued and supported when provided with development opportunities. And for organisations, this can used as a value proposition for current employees and future potentials. It's also the best way to maintain a highly skilled workforce.

"Workplace training is key to creating and sustaining a continuous learning culture," said Blake Proberts (Co-Founder and Managing Director). "And a continuous learning culture is key to ongoing innovation, effective knowledge sharing and increased intellectual capital."

The benefits of workplace employee training function as more than just a list a positive effects. When ordered correctly, they support the entire organisational talent pipeline and individual career trajectory.

Workplace training benefits begin with improving productivity and increasing employee engagement. These lead to the development of a better company culture. With a better company culture comes higher retention rates and a boost to the bottom line.
