Can training really impact the success of your organization? This age-old question circulates around an array of industries, small, large and somewhere in between.
The temptation to cut training programs seems like an easy fix to budgetary woes, but the long-term benefits and value of training far outweigh the risks associated with the short-term decision to eliminate this critical component of your company's success.
Also, proceed with caution, as once training is gone, you may never get it back! Keeping training relevant, and taking it to the next level often includes moving to an online training delivery system, where you'll slash expenses, automate your processes and virtually touch every available learner in the system.
Here's how online training offers enterprise-wide key benefits, lasting value and an improved bottom-line organizational impact:

• High organizational applicability: Your online training program should integrate easily into the various departmental work flow(s) and have a sound basis in the company growth and strategic objectives.
  Industry standards and performance goals are essential components of making your training topic relevant and impactful.
  Additionally, online training enables time-logging, learner progress tracking and reporting capabilities, allowing the training team to track the success of the programs and measure the impact on the organization's workforce.
  

• Business relevance: Train your team knowing that the course material will impact critical areas of business, with productivity, quality and business development topping the list.
  Building a virtual training program allows the course developers to train what is needed in the current business environment and shift gears as industry demands dictate, so your training topics will always stay relevant.
  

• Confidence: Whether you're training leadership skills, career paths, sales, production, strategy, safety or new hire orientation, online training helps employees close skill gaps and build team-member confidence that are essential to winning performance.
  

• Increasing value over time: A trained workforce is highly valuable, and the more they use their information and solutions, the more they create value and impact to your organization in a meaningful way.
  Training and expanded knowledge are essential to move your team forward, at every level and in every area of your organization.
  

Whether training is traditional or virtual, the impact answer is a resounding yes! And, the powerful role of online training will make a definitive and measurable impact to your organization and will play a fundamental role in your company's success.
