Some employees look forward to the chance to attend off-site training because they can make new contacts and see things from a different point of view while gaining skills needed back on the job. From the company’s perspective, on-site training can offer significant benefits though, including:
- Cost savings up to 50% over the total cost of training and travel for all attendees: The fixed cost of bringing a consultant to your own conference room can be spread over many more trainees.
- Simultaneously training a team can help them work together to achieve the course goals back on the job. Many action items are identified and roadblocks are challenged during on-site courses
- Classroom examples can be tailored to your specific issues and work can begin under the guidance of the consultant
- Just-in-time training: Those who only need certain parts of the overall course material may be able to step in and out of class, thus conserving resources
- Knowledge transfer from internal experts: Process owners and technical resources who would not attend a full off-site course can transfer company-specific knowledge in special sections.
- Maximize ROI on planned business travel: On-site training can be scheduled during the same week as other company events that require travel by remote workers.
- Government grants may be available for on-site training, especially when it is done in conjunction with a targeted project. The DESARA Group can assist in filing for grants, which would lower the training costs even more.
The DESARA Group offers a wide range of courses that can help you lead your organization to success, including ISO 9001, TL 9000, ISO 14001, ISO 27001, ANSI Z-10, and specific topics in leading process and product quality.
