Do you want to create a culture at your company that values education, training and the desire to push oneself further? Are you trying to get your employees to learn more and be more interested in the training programmes you offer? Here are five tips on how to do that, as well as how finally to become a company where employee training is a priority.
As the Future Learning Talent website points out, no matter how much you can enthuse your regular employees for learning, you will never achieve a culture of education in your company unless you have senior and middle management on your side. Enthuse senior managers and team leaders about learning and ensure they motivate subordinates to develop.
You will never be able to build a company culture that values learning if your company does not have a sufficient budget set aside for training.
One way to enthuse employees for training is to offer them courses that actually make a difference. That means nothing abstract, but rather something specifically related to the tasks they perform at work.
Many companies make the mistake of creating a training programme for their employees, but then offering conditions that simply do not make it worthwhile for employees to attend. For example, if workers have to catch up on their work after hours because they are attending training during the day, they are unlikely to be enthusiastic about the training.
Incorporating training into your company's DNA can also be achieved by including training in employee career plans. In other words, you tell employees that if they want to move further (and higher) in their career, they need to be educated.
