Many people perceive general and professional training as a heavy burden. However, choosing to train oneself or one’s employees has several advantages for the employer, but also for the employee and the individual. What are they? How can we turn this program into an effective long-term investment?

The importance of training today

An online training tailored to the employee or to a workstation often requires an investment in time and money for the company. Nevertheless, the added value that the individual gains in return is significant. Note, for example, that once an individual has been trained on PAELO, the individual typically receives a certification. This allows employers to recognize and evaluate his skills acquired on the job. In addition, he becomes more qualified in the field, which increases his efficiency in his tasks.

Faced with a scarcity of manpower and the lack of graduates, many companies will decide to develop their new employees internally.

It is therefore obvious that the employer will choose a person for his personal qualities first, to then bring him to develop his professional qualities on his workstation. By choosing a person who is motivated to learn, you will notice an improvement in productivity and consequently the employee and the employer will gain mutual trust in each other. What about individuals? Whether you are a self-employed person or not, your earnings from training will also benefit you. By applying your courses, you will see the effects directly on your production. You will see the improvements yourself through your own work. For example, you will be more confident and competent in your activity. Therefore, it is logical that your production will become of better quality and therefore more profitable! Then, as is the case with employees, you will be better perceived by your colleagues. Also note that a certified person has a higher chance of gaining the trust of their customers. Global Formation offers online training specifically designed for manufacturing and mining employees. PAELO allows these professionals to gain more skills while continuing to work.

How does online training benefit employers?

When you hear the word “raining,” you probably think “waste of time” or “burden” on the company. Yet this view could be holding you back and closing your door to new opportunities. That’s why we present 3 considerable reasons that may help you perceive this option as an investment.

1. Changes and evolutions in organizations:

The world of work is continuously facing changes. Production processes are evolving and the materials to be used are becoming more and more complex. Take, for example, the case of technology, which is more and more used in organizations. How do you do it? Hiring new people for each change could ruin your image and cost you money. On the other hand, if you decide to train your employees, they will be able to adapt more easily to changes. In addition, they will become more efficient and competent and therefore more productive.

2. Employee motivation:

According to a study conducted by the Center for Study and Research on Qualifications in 2017, most employees want to undergo training. This, in fact, allows them to feel more involved in their activities. Moreover, training in e-learning or in another form is a good way to boost their self-confidence. They are therefore better able to assume their missions. In addition to motivating an employee, training also has the power to give them hope. Thanks to his new qualifications, in fact, his employer can consider upgrading him to a position with increased and strategic responsibilities.

3. The company’s profitability:

As we have seen previously, professional training allows an employee to gain motivation and to be better able to adapt to the changes in his job. Considering these benefits, it becomes logical to perceive this option as being profitable to the company. Studies have shown that these employees generally become more productive than those who do not undergo training. If we take the example of the mining sector, it is easy to understand why training is essential. A small mistake while handling the machines can cost the company a lot of money! This is why Global Formation offers the e-learning from PAELO. The teaching methods used there using the interactive learning logbook allow companies to ensure that employees master every process in production.

How to conduct effective training for your employees

Training is mandatory according to the Labor Code. This is usually carried out internally. Nevertheless, there are other trainings that are done by external organizations as it is the case of Global Formation. The company offers its services to train your employees in the mining and manufacturing fields. Thanks to a program adapted to your reality, it will be easier for you to see if your employees are capable of managing a task or not. Also, PAELO gives you the opportunity to identify what their weak points are and how to react to them. However, how do you organize such training?

• First, set goals for yourself! What do you want from acustomized training? Do you want your employees to adapt to a new process?
• Next, it is important to properly select the employees to be trained. Do you want to provide training to all staff or just the relevant workers? Choose based on your objective.
• Think about the time you want to spend on this training. Does it necessarily have to be done during work hours? How many hours should you invest? The advantage of e-learning is that the training can be carried out according to the chosen time period avoiding the wait for an internal or external trainer which saves a considerable amount of time.

Some training courses require the field presence of a trainer during the practical evaluations. The professionals who will train your employees should ideally know your working environment (field, materials, etc.). If you are in the mining and manufacturing field, entrust the training of your workers and contractors to Global Formation and its PAELO learning tool.
