Create a Winning Team With Global Instructor Services

Save Time, Money and Resources with Global Instructor Services

Hiring the right local instructors for global training rollouts can be a daunting task when you consider all the logistics involved. Consider all the necessary steps to accurately organizing a successful large scale training delivery. 

• Setting the Rate by Location

• Recruitment and Hiring

• Onboarding

• Management

• Administration

Taking on this endeavor in-house is also not as feasible when your training department is smaller in size. The time spent on working on organizing and managing the training coupled with actually creating the training needs assessments, strategy, training program itself and planning for the delivery can stretch teams much too thin. In many cases, corners begin to get cut and the final results are less than optimal.

Rather than trying to figure out how to fit the task to the team, it may be a good time to consider working with an external training delivery partner. A corporate training company has a keen understanding of the subject matter at hand and can work with local contract instructors at the ideal rate to ensure that your training is delivered successfully to your employees. 

In addition, hiring a company to take care of a global instructor team frees up your internal employees to handle their day to day responsibilities which also includes supporting other employee learning initiatives.

Here are 9 reasons to consider working with a training services provider for a turn-key solution to your upcoming global training initiative.

Best-Fit Talent Screening

Working with an expert in the field means their recruitment teams will have best practices for sourcing the right candidates for the job. At TrainingFolks, we thoroughly screen our instructors to ensure they encompass the necessary certifications and experience to make client projects a success. In addition, with a network of over 30,000 highly skilled corporate training professionals worldwide, finding the right person becomes a seamless process.

Paperwork

When working with a large team of global instructors, it can become overwhelming once the paperwork begins to flow. Working with an external partner to manage this process creates a centralized process within a system that is built for this specific type of administration.   Things, like compiling, auditing and processing invoices, managing timesheets, and supervising expense statements in accordance with each contract trainer’s service agreement, are things that experts like TrainingFolks have built into their business services. If the organization doesn’t have a system in place to manage these factors, losing control becomes very easy.

Scheduling

When dealing with multiple training delivery dates, training locations, and numerous global trainers, aligning delivery dates with times alongside changes and updates can be nerve-wracking if it's not your core role. Working with a company that has dedicated resources that manage scheduling alongside other aspects of managing a global training team can alleviate this headache as well.

Travel Management

When running a global team of instructors, travel management is a must. Booking flights, hotels, travel arrangements and ensuring that timely arrival for all training sessions is guaranteed when working with a corporate training partner like TrainingFolks. Our expert team can also work to secure travel Visas when needed.

Quality Management

Providing a high level of quality with global instructor-led services is something that an external training services provider can promise. The company likely has several dedicated personnel that each excels at different parts of the process of managing this team of global trainers. Setting key metrics before starting the project and talking through any issues like language, cultural sensitivities or training styles can all be addressed in advance to help provide the best training experience for your learners possible.

Team Communications

A general fear for learning teams when it comes to working with an external series is that they will lose sight of the program and be unaware of progress.  This could not be further from reality! When working with a good global instructor-led services provider, clients are booked in for regular conference calls with their account managers. During these calls, discussions over best practices, learner experiences, specifics to the project and instructor performance are all covered off and improved upon.

Performance Management

When working with internal trainers or managing external trainers internally, performance management can easily slip through the gaps. In addition, internal staff may not know what to base their audits of instructor’s performances on or be in the position to accurately conduct regular training audits. Working with a partner means ongoing audits to ensure that your learners are getting the best possible experience with their instructor and that you as the client are working with the right instructors for the project.

Content Maintenance

When working with an external partner who is dedicated to consistent maintenance of performance and program, feedback becomes real-time versus looking back. This essentially means that instructors are asked for timely and consistent feedback on the curriculum based on learners’ experiences. This is then fed to the curriculum owner or instructional designer to make improvements to the program as quickly as you’re able to. Hiring instructional design consultants from the same partner can also speed up this process since they’ll be 100% dedicated to your specific project and exceeding objectives.

Project Reporting

Consistent reporting is a great way to capture ongoing results and to make continuous adjustments and improvements to your training program. It is also critical to documenting for future teams to learn from for even more successful projects. When working with a company like TrainingFolks you can depend on timely reports on a monthly, quarterly and project end basis. The reports are both qualitative and quantitative to cover all aspects of the program.

In the end, allowing your internal team to focus more on strategic business rather than coping with the logistical details of managing a global delivery offering can actually help save the company a lot more on the bottom line.
