Training and development is a key part of maintaining an organization’s workforce. Why is training so important? Just look at these stats:
Engaged employees are 59% less likely to seek out a new job or career in the next 12 months.
In a survey of 2,000 employees, almost half (43%) said they are looking for a new job, and corporate culture was the main reason.
Organizations with poor on-boarding programs have double the chances of experiencing employee turnover.
So while it may seem like just another human resources to-do that you need to check off your list, it’s essential that you provide the right training to your employees when they start and throughout their time with you.
As you’re building out your rockstar training program, you’ll want to include the 3 most commonly requested training topics:
- Compliance
- Soft Skills
- Management
eLearning Brothers just released a new downloadable guide that takes you through these 3 areas and suggests key courses you can provide your employees, plus some more HR advice and statistics.
Today, let’s talk briefly about compliance.
I know, I know, you were thinking that compliance was the most boring one on the list, weren’t you?
Well, the good news is, with today’s off-the-shelf courseware, there are tons of engaging, mobile-friendly courses out there in a bite-sized format so learners can quickly work through courses. With video snippets and knowledge checks, learners stay engaged in the training.
Providing anti-harassment training benefits your individual employees and the company as a whole. Employees work better in respectful, welcoming environments and your company can avoid expensive and time-consuming legal issues. Plus, many states require anti-harassment training by law.
What kind of compliance courses should you be looking for?
These are some key course titles to keep an eye out for when considering pre-built training programs:
Identifying Discrimination
Understanding workplace discrimination, including what it is, who is protected and how to identify it, gives you the background you need to be a positive force for workplace respect.
Appreciating Diversity
Learn the benefits diversity brings to your team, how you can identify and encourage diversity, and how to support an inclusive work environment.
Sexual Harassment
Create a respectful workplace by learning to recognize what is considered sexual harassment, how to prevent it from happening and the steps to take if you see or experience sexual harassment.
