Continuing on the theme of why organisations should consider outsourcing training, my thought today is focused on organisations ‘sticking to their knitting’. Many HR organisations have highly effective back office staff i.e. administrators and co-ordinators but their focus is on running operations related to the company’s core business whether that is an airline, automotive manufacturer or retail giant.
The whole business of booking trainers, venues, ensuring that the right employees turn up to the right location and then keeping accurate management information becomes a distraction as it’s not what they are best at doing. It becomes a real drag on your organisation as people are diverted from their day job to ‘sort out’ training issues. Many of these are trivial but time consuming such as; the trainer has arrived at the wrong address, too many people have pitched up for a session, the tea has gone cold etc. By outsourcing these particular aspects of training management, you allow your teams to focus on what they do best and begin the high performance culture you as a manager / leader have been dreaming of.
That’s where we The Outsourced Training Company come in. Our day job is providing training administration and effective management information. By us rather than you doing it we can also save you more than 50% of your admin costs. Seems a ‘no brainer’ to me!
