How LMS Academy Training Can Keep Highly Skilled Staff Inspired
New research from the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) confirmed recently that demand for highly skilled employees will increase in the coming months as the economy improves, but the majority of employers fear they will not be able to find people with the skills they need to fill the demand for high-level jobs.
In industries such as IT, where demand for skilled employees is always traditionally high, competition among companies trying to keep their existing staff likely to be higher than ever. Hiring and training new staff costs on average £5,000 per new employee, more for senior positions, so keeping existing staff happy will save your business money.
But what can you do to keep highly skilled employees inspired and interested in your company? 80% of IT professionals worldwide consider increasing their skills as vital to their overall job satisfaction, so a good place to start could be in the provision of training.
But when you are a global multi-national with thousands of employees worldwide and often even more re-sellers that need to receive product knowledge training too, how do you put an effective training program in place? Most firms (90%) use external training providers to deliver at least some of their training, with an average of 43% of all total training delivered externally. Private providers are in fact the preferred choice for most employers (82%).
Fully hosted online academies such as LMS Academy training is a proven way to encourage staff to feel as if they are contributing more to a company, making employees less likely to look elsewhere for employment.
LMS or Learning Management Academy training not only supports your staff training needs in a cost effective way via affordable product knowledge training and online assessment, but it can also act as a resource for knowledge sharing within your business, too.
