Web Based Training Cuts HR Costs
A 2008 report found that nearly four out of five (78%) HR leaders believe it is important to reduce training costs incurred on external training courses, while over half (57%) wanted to minimise the time staff spent out of the office on such courses. Find out how web based training can reduce your company HR costs.
The survey polled 150 UK HR professionals on their training needs, practices and expectations during an economic slowdown.
It found that a flexible and cost-effective training solution is vital during an economic slowdown with 79% of respondents stating the importance of being able to produce in-house training content quickly and cost-effectively.
A staggering nine out of ten (89%) of respondents cited the ability to tailor training to an organisation's changing needs quickly and cost-effectively as the attribute they want most from staff training, with an overwhelming 98% of respondents from large organisations (5000+ employees) believing it is important.
Benefits of Web Based Training
While the report dates from 2008, the same is still true of HR departments around the world today, with the business mantra ‘more for less’ increasingly the norm.
Significantly, this is where web based training services can help in increasing productivity, while cutting costs at the same time - as even highly interactive elearning courses are generally only 25-40% of the cost of the same classroom course.
Rapid authoring technology makes it easy for elearning services to go beyond the ‘death by Powerpoint’ scenario that has done so much to undermine the value of training in the past and modern Learning Management Technology makes it easy to add quizzes, learning games and tests into e-learning courses, with the addition of user material such as video, animation, audio or images to increase the learning experience increasingly affordable.
