Training is one of those things that a corporate can’t do away with. Or should I say, can’t do away with for very long! Even if corporates slash or cut off training budgets to save on costs in difficult times such as these, they are sure to feel the pinch of it soon. After all, you really can’t have an organisation grow when its people aren’t learning something new. And that’s the reason why corporate training programs will always be around and will ever be on the rise.
Let’s reflect on today’s situation. The corona pandemic is spreading across nations like wildfire. To arrest the spread, people are being encouraged to self-isolate themselves from one another. More and more cities are going into a lockdown, schools are being shut and employees are now being asked to work from their homes.
Now you must be wondering where corporate training programs figure in all of this? Isn’t training the last thing on everyone’s mind? Well yes, that may be the case since everyone is busy trying to get a hold on how they can use technology to continue their work. However, what happens once those administrative details come in place. What happens once everyone is comfortable using technology to complete their daily tasks?
That’s when Maslow’s Hierarchy will kick in! As per the renowned psychologist Abraham Maslow, once the basics are in place, humans have a tendency to look for more. Which means more interaction with others, more learning and more growth. After all, that’s how we keep ourselves motivated in life. Otherwise life would become a drab!
And that’s when corporate training programs provide a solution. They not only help employees improve the way they do things in their current work, but also help them learn and implement new ways of doing old things. Corporate training programs also provide employees the opportunity to equip themselves with the knowledge and skills required to take on newer responsibilities. This helps them successfully climb the corporate ladder.
So, while everyone is busy trying to arrange the basics, are you ready with what comes immediately after that? Have you got a good line-up of online corporate training programs in the pipeline for your employees? Yes, when they can do their work through technology then why not learn through it too!
