TIPS FROM YOUR TRAINING COMPANY

Many Millennial workers get a bad rap. 

Seen as being quite entitled, a bit lazy when it comes to working hard and flight risks when it comes to new hires, the truth is that the Millennial workforce encompasses a number of positive traits that can significantly help an organization if nurtured correctly.

Much of the reason for not seeing the good is because the one thing that Millennials undeniably are is different from the Generation X or Baby Boomer worker that currently makes up the majority of the workforce. By 2020 however, the global workplace will be made up of 50% of Millennials (that’s not too far away!).¹

The need for organizations to allocate corporate training and development dollars towards effective leadership development has grown substantially in the recent years.  

While baby boomers or Generation X-ers may have been accustomed to the mentality of a boss versus a true leader, success or failure for organizations in today’s market place and going forward commands a very different approach to team management and leadership.

Using Virtual Instructor Led Training To Address Key Challenges 

Although moving from Instructor Led Training (ILT) in to virtual Instructor Led Training or (vILT) is not as widespread as one would think, it definitely is something that companies looking to maintain a talented workforce should seriously begin to plan for and build into their learning strategies and budgets.

Some of the key reasons for doing this include the growing Millennial workforce as well as smaller budgets for learning and development with growing learning groups and lastly, the consistent increase in popularity of the remote workforce.

Millennial Modification - Adapting Your Corporate Training

We’ve all heard it.  Millennials are changing the world.  When taking a step back to evaluate the statement, it could not be truer as we get set for the decade ahead.  Here at TrainingFolks, we continue to work with clients on updating and adapting their corporate training and development programs with this reality in mind.

As a group that will make up almost one fifth of the US population by 2020 this generation has begun to transform the way companies are doing business.

The Difference Between Employee Onboarding and Corporate Training Programs

There are a number of managers in successful organizations globally that still struggle with the difference between onboarding and training and development of new hires.

Why Effective Employee Onboarding Is Critical

Think back to your first day at your current job.  How was it?  Did you get a formal introduction to the team?  Were your work station, technology and passwords all set up and awaiting your arrival?  Did you know where the closest bathroom to your desk was located?  How about the great places to grab a bite at lunch or a cocktail after work?

Working from home is a must according to emerging workforce.
