IMPROVE PRODUCTIVITY WITH STAFF TRAINING


Kerrie-Anne Chinn, Content & Editorial Manager
2018-02-22

Want to get better results from your team? Noticing your employees are a bit
flat, lacking in energy or motivation? Help them to improve their productivity
by investing in staff training.

Being a good manager or team leader is about knowing how to get the best out of
each individual team member and helping them to work to their full potential.
Everyone’s different – with unique challenges and approaches to being
productive.



By taking the time to work with your employees on professional development, you
can help them to take control and take charge of their productivity levels.


TALKING ABOUT PRODUCTIVITY WITH YOUR STAFF

As a team, you need each person to hit their individual targets, to allow the
broader organisation to reach its business goals. Strong, consistent
productivity is essential.

But keeping staff motivated and productive is often easier said than done. The
subject needs to be approached carefully, without making employees feel like
they’re being ‘performance managed’ or continually chastised.

It’s best to have discussions about productivity regularly, as part of each
employee’s professional development program. This way, it’s an ongoing and
positive conversation – not a nasty surprise that makes people feel that they’ve
dropped the ball. After all, you want to improve productivity and morale, not
lower it.


INVESTING IN PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND TRAINING

Professional development and training programs are key to improving productivity
within your team and allow you to have these conversations in an open and
encouraging environment.

This is why it's so important to have regular one-on-one professional
development sessions with staff. In these sessions, you can work with each team
member to establish clear goals that you want them to achieve within a certain
time frame. This could be hitting a sales target or deadline, landing a
particular client or gig, securing a set number of new customers… anything that
will help to motivate and boost their performance.

Identify training solutions and learning pathways that will assist them in
hitting these goals. Show staff that you are ready to invest in their
professional development, through training courses, workshops and seminars –
whether online or face-to-face, or a combination of both.


CREATING A CULTURE OF LEARNING

In doing this, you’ll be providing individuals with plenty of opportunities to
constantly refresh their skills and acquire new ones, while creating a positive
culture of learning in your organisation.

According to Steadfast, training can increase workplace productivity by more
than 8%. Investing in training your existing staff, rather than spending money
on new hires, is a smart move. But more importantly, in doing so you’ll be
investing in the culture of your company. When people feel valued for their
skills and abilities, they’re far more likely to work in a productive and
effective way.

“Training has benefits for your employees as well as your business. It builds
staff confidence and motivation. It also provides employees with opportunities
for advancement and a reason to stay with your company.”


HELPING INDIVIDUALS TO IMPROVE THEIR PRODUCTIVITY

You might also like to take a look at our top tips to improve productivity.
You’ll find plenty of helpful advice on managing emails, working with your To Do
list, handling distractions, and using productivity apps and tools.

We believe one of the best tips you can share with your team is the practice of
only touching things once. This one can be a real life changer – at home, as
well as at work. By committing to handling things once, and once only, you’ll be
able to focus on dealing with things as they arise, particularly little things
that only take a moment but can easily be forgotten. Or start adding up when you
put them all together!

Taking the time to do things in the moment will actually save you time in the
long run, as well as a lot of potential stress. You can start practicing this
way of thinking by paying bills as they arrive, replying to emails when you read
them or simply putting something back in its place straight away. Doing this
means it’ll be done, dusted and out of your head – allowing you to focus on new
tasks at hand. 

By showing staff that you’re committed to their professional development and
training, you can expect to see much more positive results. And in time, greater
productivity levels, making it a win-win solution for your employees, as well as
your business.
