Employee Training Increases Overall Job Satisfaction
A recent study
has shown a significant relationship between job training satisfaction and overall job satisfaction in the workplace. Employees find training and development a valuable component of their working life.
But what kind of training is best? And how should it be tailored? According to the study, instructor-led training is key.
“It was found that the methodologies involving an instructor or coach were preferred significantly more than the more solitary type methodologies (computer-based training, or self study, including video-based training).”
Live presentation skills training works well for both experienced and junior employees for two reasons. First, unlike technical training, speech training is not finite. There is always something more to learn! Even your most experienced employee may still have trouble with pacing, “um’s” and “ahh’s,” and organizing material. Second, live presentation skills workshops tend to be highly collaborative and benefit from the experience of legacy employees. This environment helps bond younger and more experienced employees, enhancing overall brand cohesion.
Working With Speak Clear
At Speak Clear Communications, we create customized training plans that directly address the needs of your business and employees. Some of the topics we cover in workshops are public speaking, how to structure a dynamic presentation, how to reduce speaking anxiety, how to put together short, impromptu speeches that accurately reflect your brand’s message during high-pressure meetings, how to project your voice and gesture with confidence, how to answer questions, and PowerPoint best practices.
We work with you to create workshops that are an appropriate time and length for your needs, and take your feedback during our workshops, customizing or pivoting as necessary.
Still on the fence? Let’s look at a few common misconceptions regarding group workshops and training that may be on your mind.
Common Misconceptions
We already offer training through apps and software.
As we discussed above, in surveys of job training satisfaction, employees have indicated that face-to-face and instructor-led training is their preferred training method over computer- or video-based training. Employees appreciate being able to ask questions, work through problems, and interact with others. At Speak Clear Communications, we specialize in live, personalized training in Manhattan and New Jersey.
One-time training won’t help my company in the long run.
Workshops must be specific in order to be effective. Discrete training sessions can solve many acute problems within a company, and improve specific aspects of employee performance. We work with you to pinpoint a specific area of improvement and structure our lesson plan around that. You’d be surprised at how effective such training session are!
Our employees are trained on how to do their job when they are first hired.
Ongoing job training and development is an important aspect of long-term job satisfaction. It’s easy to focus only on new employees and expect that tenured employees should already know what to do. But a lack of ongoing training can negatively impact job satisfaction, and therefore job performance, in the long run. In addition, your employees will have more to offer the company if they are continually trained.
We don’t have time to offer extended training programs.
A company is only as good as its people. Employees are the backbone of any enterprise. At Speak Clear Communications, we believe training is a valuable part of the life of a company. We offer a variety of workshops and programs that fit your company’s needs, no matter how much time you have.
Employee workshops are too expensive.
We offer a variety of pricing options to accommodate each of our clients. We’re committed to helping you and that means finding the right plan so we can get straight to work.
