Working your way up the career ladder in the corporate world can take years. For a few of us the career ladder seems shorter and we reach our destinations a lot sooner than others. The climb for some can seem endless, and we often spend hours of our time working towards a new management title or that new office with a good view.
If you are not a natural-born corporate worker, you may have to work harder than your colleagues. Many people turn to self-help books and online resources to help them reach their goals. Self help books can offer employees looking to climb the ladder a place of comfort and resource in their own personal space.
Self help books have been around since the civil war and are now the fastest growing class on the books shelves of shops and online. With thousands available choosing one relevant for you can take time and money; both of which you can ill afford.
Many employees turn to their employers to support them in achieving their goals and as part of self-development and improvement employees are often offered the chance to attend seminars and courses.
Companies who support their employees in offering them training courses are more likely to keep them motivated and loyal to them. Companies have taken the approach in allowing their employees the chance to improve themselves by attending courses and have seen an increase in productivity and loyalty.
It is believed companies who send their employees on management training courses will, in the long-term benefit from their new found management tools and in some cases qualifications.
Recruiting new staff can be a big financial outlay for companies; with the average cost of recruiting is on average 1 months of the overall salary. For an example a company recruiting a person in management on a salary of £60,000 a year could expect recruitment costs to be £5,000. If you are a small to medium-sized business this is a big outlay.
In large cities, where there are an array of vast and diverse companies, retaining staff can be even more of a challenge. Recent research has indicated employees would rather feel valued and motivated than be paid large salaries.
For a company of any size, retaining staff should be an important factor in saving them money in recruitment costs. With so many specialist companies offering training for staff, it is often difficult to know where to start the process.
The market sector you work in will help narrow down the kind of training you are looking for and if you are in a city there will be many more options available to you and your staff.
Interestingly management training courses seem to be fastest growing sector, with companies realising certain styles are often what lead to motivated or de motivated staff. Staff who will then look to leave and find employment elsewhere.
If a company has an employee with a poor management style the effect on the staff they are over seeing can be harmful to the company and retaining valued employees becomes difficult. Many people just need a guiding hand and encouragement to show them the correct style of handling various needs and personalities of the people reporting to them.
If you are looking for some help improving the skills of your employees, first find your budget and depending on the sector you are working in will dictate how detailed the course needs to be. If you are in a city, you will be able to choose from a large choice of companies who offer specialist training courses for staff.
It’s an investment you can ill afford not to make.
