The Benefits of Employee Training Software

Employee Training Software

Employees are the lifeblood of a company. Without them, the company doesn’t make sales, solve problems, or interact with customers. They are the faces your customers see on a daily basis, and the bearers of a significant amount of the responsibility. Every good employee needs great training, which takes time and resources. Minimizing the time and resources necessary to train your staff, without losing effectiveness, is what Syllabi does best.

Generally, training software allows for a variety of benefits to an employer, if the training can be effectively delivered to the employees. That's why Syllabi's focus in online training software is ease-of-use and desirability for both the current millennial workforce that was raised in online learning, and older generations that may be less comfortable with e-learning.

A study conducted by the Department of Labor and Statistics shows that Millenials account for 36% of the current workforce, and thrive on technology and digital based content. Furthermore, Millennials will continue to account for larger percentages of the job market as time passes. These employees will enter the workforce already used to the format of online learning, and less comfortable in a traditional classroom environments. Thus, online training will lead to a higher likelihood of knowledge retention.

Online Training Saves on Costs

Software allows for the employer to purchase the material one time, and since it is accessed through a computer, regular training material updates or modifications are less costly and easier to impart. This ability for computer updates to reach the employer ensures the employees can stay ahead in the current market. It also allows for mobility on the employee and flexibility which creates a higher likelihood for employee participation. People have busy lives and that makes it difficult for some to keep current in their job training. But, many people have access to the internet through their phones, so if the employee has the option of taking their training with them, this allows them the ability to choose when to participate in their learning. This active choice allows the employee to feel invested in their training and their company, which makes it more likely they will not only participate but also stay up to date. And the flexibility makes it easy to access and creates less problems for the employer. In addition, the software allows for the employer to keep up to date statistics on their employees, thus making the running of the business more effective, accurate, and efficient. The employer will have information on the status of their employees’ training at the tip of their fingertips, which gives the employer the same level of flexibility and ease of access they are affording their employees.

Because the employer will no longer need to hire someone to perform training, software drastically reduces the cost of training to an employer. As well as the reduced costs and knowledge retention in employees, employee training software allows for the employee to learn at a pace that is most effective for the individual. The components of the software can be introduced gradually if an individual needs a little more time to absorb the concepts in the material, so that learning can be effective. Conversely if an employee learns at a faster pace, if only a refresher course is needed the material can be covered more quickly. The benefit to the employee, in both cases, is confidence and an invested interest in the company due to that confidence. This leads to job retention and an overall better employee.

Managing Multiple Locations

Uniform training across multiple store locations is also important.  Using Syllabi's online training, every store has the same process and consistent expectations for how to handle procedures.  Training can be completed instantly, and new changes to rules and regulations can be pushed out to all of the company's employees in different locations immediately.  Alternatively, updated and initial trainings would have to wait on printing and handling of materials, delivery, testing and grading of each employee's understanding.  All of this is achieved instantly using Syllabi, saving you time and money.
