Many employees are looking for the opportunity to grow their skills and providing training to your staff can be a great way of building talent within your business.

Recent research has shown that half of employees are keen to undertake training to further their abilities. So, what can you do?

Taking a proactive approach to upskilling your employees

As an employer, you can upskill your employees in several ways. Having employees who want to further their skills will benefit your business and help you grow the abilities of your workforce.

You can provide regular training and development opportunities to enhance their skills and knowledge. This can include internal training programs, workshops, webinars, and online courses.

You can also encourage your employees to pursue higher education or certifications that align with their job responsibilities. These courses can be studied alongside work and can provide detailed knowledge of specific areas.

Finally, you can provide opportunities for job shadowing, mentorship, and on-the-job training to help employees learn new skills and gain hands-on experience.

To reward these achievements, it is important to create a culture of continuous learning by recognising employees who pursue self-improvement.

By investing in your employees’ development, you can create a more skilled, engaged, and productive workforce. This is something that we have experienced first-hand through the development of our own team’s skills.
