Group Facilitation Skills
As employees have shifted from focusing solely on money and advancement
and concentrating more on a personal connection with an organization,
training and development has become extremely important for the
retention of employees. In fact, according to a recent study performed
by The Saratoga Institute in California, only 12% of employees who
received training in their jobs left the company anyway, compared
to more than triple that for those who did not receive training
and left at 41%. Thus, given that employees value training opportunities,
companies have to find a way to provide quality training sessions.
In this workshop, learn how to construct, prepare and deliver successful
training to the benefit of both the individuals and the organization.
