6 key reasons why companies are investing in group training to bridge the skills gap
1. Cost-efficiency
In-house training is more cost-efficient than sending employees offsite. It eliminates the expenses associated with travel, accommodation, and external training facilities. This is a significant cost saving for organisations with multiple employees who require training.
2. Flexibility and convenience
With no need to send employees offsite, operations won’t be disrupted and productivity will remain the same. Training sessions can be scheduled to minimize workflow interruptions, meaning employees can return to business as usual in no time. At Intertek SAI Global, we bring industry experts to your premises for practical, engaging and in-depth learning experiences.
3. Active learning with your team
Employees tend to engage more actively in the learning process when in a familiar environment. In-house training provides the opportunity to learn in a more practical and hands-on way, fostering better retention of new knowledge and greater communication among team members.
4. Business continuity
In-house training ensures consistency in the delivery of training across the organisation. With a standardised curriculum and training approach, all employees receive the same level of instruction, ensuring uniformity in knowledge and skill development. Consistent training also helps reinforce organisational values and best practices.
5. Customise training to your organisation
With in-house training, the content, format and approach can be tailored to address the specific needs, challenges and objectives of your organisation. We will partner with you to refine the program based on what you are looking to achieve.
