The world has come a long way in the past 10
years. It is a completely different place now than what it used to be 10 years ago,
and this is true for its every aspect including the corporate world. Earlier
the businesses did not place much emphasis on the corporate training, but with
time this attitude has undergone change as well, especially with the findings
that state, one in every three employees state that lack of proper corporate
training programs a valid reason to leave a company for a better opportunity
elsewhere. As a result of this attitude
the corporate training practices have also been updated and now use DISC personality tests, Belbin team roles, microlearning techniques, etc. are
studied for better results.
How has corporate training changed in the past 10 years?
Corporate training prepares employees for
unpredictable setbacks that they may come face to face with during their
careers. Through it, the employees can learn and
grow both individually and collectively.
Earlier it used to be the time of classroom
learning, where an instructor would stand in the middle of a room that had all
the employees sitting at one place and would use a display board to impart
information. This mode of learning was slow and also ineffective in the sense
that it was very costly. Then with time as the tech improved the Learning
Management System (LMS) was launched in 2008 which changed the way of learning
but still had room for improvement as it was again costly as well as
time-consuming and tedious for employees.
Need for emphasis on corporate training
Today this training pattern has improved a lot
as it practices e-learning. Corporate training offers employees the option of
microlearning where the employees can consume information in short bursts
depending upon their retaining power, on-demand through bite-sized content.
Technological advancements have also made it possible to go for adaptive
e-learning techniques where the system can adapt according to the unique
learner-driven model. This means that corporate training can adapt the content
and experiences according to the employee’s response and interaction with the
training tools.
Solving problems through corporate training
An organization succeeds through teamwork. While
training employees, organizations can also conduct DISC personality or Belbin
team roles tests so as to understand each employees’ strengths & weakness.
DISC personality tests help the employees in learning more about their own
behavior and how to work with people who have different behaviors. Belbin team
roles educate them about the necessity of different roles. Hence, these
practices like DISC personality and Belbin Team Roles help in
collective growth.
Why is Corporate Training Important?
Corporate training is vital for the growth of
employees and the organization. Through it, the employees can develop their
individual skills like Management, work on their Leadership skills, can easily
learn about different fields like finance and sales, work on their language
skills and become better at problem-solving or supervising. Companies like
Apple and Google use these corporate training to achieve the said results.
