With so many options available, it becomes difficult to choose a corporate training company that will be able to fulfil our specific learning and development needs. Yet zeroing in on the right corporate training company is extremely important. And choosing the wrong one can be an expensive proposition for any organisation!
Organisations nowadays invest huge amounts in training and development of their employees. They realise that learning is no longer an added benefit they can offer their employees. It is now a necessity. They are therefore going all out to provide their people with the best. And unlike previous times, they are now open to utilising productive man days for upgrading their skills. This increases the importance of getting on board the best corporate training providers even more!
Hiring an appropriate corporate training company
Well, the first place to go to is the internet. The first thing to check, are the reviews. Customer reviews provide first-hand feedback from customers about the training and service they receive. It provides them a public platform where they can openly share their experience. And we know that most people are motivated to write a review when they are extremely happy or sad with what they receive! So, these reviews will provide you an honest opinion about what they feel.
Apart from reviews, check the clients that the corporate training company has serviced in the past. Does the clientele have companies similar to your industry? This will tell you about the company’s understanding of your industry and their ability to customise the session to suit the audience.
Next is to understand the kind of training interventions that the company has conducted in the past. If they have worked with companies similar to you and have done similar work there too, that’s great. However, if only the work matches, you can still consider the company in your list of contenders! They can still learn the nuances of your industry, although it may take some extra effort from your and their end.
Lastly, talk to the corporate training organisation. Check their attitude. See if they are trying to sell you their services or are taking time to understand your need and collaborating with you to find solutions. If they are doing the first one, I would advise knocking them off your list. However, if they are doing the second, you already know the answer😊
