Training and development ensure that employees are updated on their skills and improve their job performance. Whether you develop the training in-house or contract with another group, it’s essential to establish an inventory of what training and development opportunities are available within your company. This also can include outside sources that can provide the information and skills employees need.
When developing a training program, you’ll consider mandatory and voluntary opportunities. The law may require some training, such as sexual harassment education. Other training may be geared toward individual career goals or the company’s needs. Your ultimate goal is to ensure that all employees have access to the tools they need to succeed and become more valuable to the company.
