Enhance your business skills and knowledge with continuing education offerings through GoFi8ure.
Training and up-skilling is essential to the achievements of a business to ensure ongoing development and improvement. Not only for your staff, but for you, the business owner. Even if you have been in business for many years, investing in yourself and your business should be a vital part of your strategic plan.
“You don’t know, what you don’t know, until you don’t know that you don’t know it”. Despite having years of business experience behind you, many business environments are not stagnant. Developing technologies are constantly causing disruption and opportunity. Changes constantly occur with new legislation and business obligations, software changes, or better business processes becoming available. As a business owner you need to make sure you are up to date with everything you need to know. That is when training and up-skilling comes into play.
The benefits can be life-changing too, reaching far beyond simply relieving boredom or passing the time. Studies have shown adult learning can boost confidence, well-being and feelings of fulfilment and happiness, providing business owners (and their staff) with a new zest for life – that is before we even get to the potential social, physical and professional benefits. So jump right in, the water’s lovely, and make 2017 the year you up-skill and learn more.
What are some of the other benefits to learning and up-skilling?
1. Enhance operational efficiency
Training yourself and your employees can increase efficiency and productivity in completing daily work tasks. Training can also help your organisation achieve greater consistency in process adherence, making it easier to project outcomes and meet organisational goals and targets.
2. Increase business value
Effective training can be used to “up-skill” or “multi-skill” not only yourself, but also your employees. Up-skilling involves extending one’s knowledge of an existing skill, providing more experts within a subject area. This helps you make better decisions for your business. Being better informed is part of your essential business development requirement.
3. Increase business quality
Aside from increased efficiency, both you and your employees will also improve the quality of the work produced with relevant training. It is proven that untrained employees turn out work of lesser value, which in turn lowers the value of your business. Training is essential to higher production value.
