Types of employee training
Before we dive into ways to level up training in your business. We’ll outline some of the common types of training we see people using WorkPlan Learning to complete:
Employee onboarding & orientation
Employee onboarding helps new recruits become familiar with their roles and the company culture to help them settle in and integrate with the organisation comfortably. This is the time to give employees access to the company policies, organisation structure, workplace health and safety, etc.
Safety training
Safety training helps minimise the risk of workplace injury mainly in industries that have manual labour. Safety training can also include lockdown and evacuation drills, best practices for workplace safety, etc.
Sales training
Sales training allows staff who are the first point of contact with customers or clients. to upskill in selling strategies, sales pitches, your business sales processes, etc.
Product training
Staff cannot sell unless they’re acquainted with the products they’re selling. This type of training is individual to each business and is usually created in-house.
Technical skills training
Upskilling your employees so that they’re proficient in using various technologies is essential to an employee’s productivity and success within a business. Technical skills training ensures your employees meet the expected level of technical competence.
Team Training
Team training aims to foster beneficial relationships among co-workers. Training is conducted in teams and helps to improve procedural knowledge and taskwork proficiency, and even helps to develop soft skills like interpersonal skills, communication, and teamwork.
