Training employees in our knowledge-based society is essential to success. However,
implementing a company-wide training program can seem complicated, even overwhelming.
When you consider that different employees need different types of training
and some training applies to thousands of employees, while other training only applies
to a few dozen. Even among these groups, no two employees are at the same level of
expertise. Some need on-site training and coaching while others will excel with a few
hours of self-paced computer-based training. Many organizations require custom courses to meet their goals. Still, other employees will benefit from a combination of deliveries. In
this complex training environment, companies rely on Makau to create a Blended Training
Solution to meet their unique needs.
Makau’s blended training solution begins with "needs assessments" to determine what level employees are at and what will be needed to take them to the next level. Each employee arrives with a set of skills, bringing all employees up to a skills standard enhances productivity and the ability of managers to know what employees are capable of doing. Projections become more reliable and employees exhibit a greater level of job satisfaction.
Whether with library or custom courses, the clearest path to training a diverse set of
employees is with a diverse set of delivery methods. Makau offers delivery through:
By delivering training on several fronts, companies are able to reach large and small
groups of employees in a way that effectively meets their training objectives.
As employees complete training and return to their day to day work, much of the initial
training is not utilized unless it is reinforced. A blended solution that includes self-paced
training availability helps employees return and remember the things they’ve learned.
Even when a company has completed extensive on-site training (the most effective
training available), having self-paced courses available for review on a Makau Learning
Device or in a CD-ROM library gives the initial training investment a longer lasting effect.
