    The benefits of workplace training and development

    Workplace training is a great way to improve your employee’s commercial skills, and it can be an essential part of an organisation’s success.

    When implemented correctly, training can improve productivity amongst an entire workforce while giving employees the chance to feel included as part of team-building activities which will ultimately boost morale. To show how workplace training can improve your office, we’ve made a list of the positive outcomes…

    Employee knowledge

    Workplace training can improve an employee’s overall performance, employees who receive additional training are able to perform their jobs to a higher level.

    The training should build on the employee’s skills creating a more coherent employee who can take what they’ve learned into the workplace and push themselves into higher positions.

    Additionally, workplace training ensures that there is consistency within employees experience and knowledge. Employees should be aware of what the company wants them to know and what skills they should acquire in order to be consistently good at their role.

    Addressing weaknesses

    Workplace training not only provides employees with extra skills, but it also has the power to highlight where employees weaknesses lie. This gives employees the chance to use workplace training as an opportunity to strengthen their weaker aspects.

    A development programme brings all employees to a higher level so they all have similar skills and knowledge, and through providing employees with the same training, you are also able to identify which workers are at a higher level meaning you can easily identify future leaders.

    Increased productivity

    Another way workplace training is beneficial is that it makes employees more productive. Through providing training, your employees will be better able to do their jobs to a higher level and to a better time scale. Increased efficiency will ensure project success and this will benefit the company in turn.

    Moreover, ongoing workplace training and upskilling can encourage creativity. When employees having the time to be involved in training they are better equipped to come up with innovative ideas that are crucial to the development of the business’ offerings.

    Employee satisfaction

    Companies that provide workplace training can make their employees feel valued as it shows staff that they are interested in building their skills.

    Also, it shows an interest in employee success and personal development. This creates a supportive workforce, as they will feel appreciated, challenged and subsequently more satisfied in their job.

    Moreover, ongoing training gives employees the incentive to learn as they will appreciate the company’s efforts to improve their skills.

    Enhance company reputation

    Companies that offer workplace training are able to enhance their reputation. Not only does it highlight that they care about employee development, but it also means that employees will be working to a higher level and as such, be providing a better service.

    Additionally, the company will be more appealing to prospective employees as they will recognise that workplace training is a unique opportunity to develop skills and put them into practice at work.

    Also, people will recognise the company wants to retain current employees, as opposed to being content with high staff turnover, making it seem a more secure career choice.

    Company benefits

    Along with previous points mentioned, the company benefits in various direct ways from workplace training. For example, employing new staff involves high costs, however, ongoing training builds up your existing staff, making way for internal promotions.

    Moreover, unlike hiring new staff, companies can ensure that the current workforce has extensive knowledge of the business and the correct skill set.

    Training also means that the company is keeping up with industry changes. Industries are constantly evolving, meaning it’s important for businesses to develop so they avoid being left behind. Workplace training ensures that businesses are keeping their employee’s knowledge up-to-date.

  • The importance of improving commercial skills in the banking sector

    The importance of improving commercial skills in the banking sector

    Commercial skills are an essential attribute for employees within almost every business, but particularly for those in the financial sector, or those wishing to progress through the ranks.

    One thing’s for sure, in today’s less certain environment, strong commercial awareness can be the difference between success and failure. Workplace training can be structured to ensure that an entire workforce possesses the relevant commercial awareness skills to be able to carry out their roles effectively. Commercial awareness helps employees to gain a better understanding of:

    The competition surrounding your business

    Are your employees able to identify the ways in which competition can affect your organisation? Are they able to work around difficulties raised by said competition and alter their approach accordingly, offering innovative suggestions with the benefit of the business in mind? If the answer is no, equipping your employees with commercial acumen could help to identify potential obstacles put up by your competitors.

    Financial awareness

    Do you employees really understand the current and future financial implications their decisions have on your business? More importantly, do they understand the key drivers of financial performance?

    Communication

    It may be cliche, but when it comes to commercial skills, communication is key. Whether this is part of a client facing role, or behind the scenes, communicating potential problems efficiently and effectively is part and parcel of commercial skills training.

    Identify strengths in others

    The employees destined for the top understand they can’t run the show alone. Identifying and utilising the strengths in others not only improves efficiency but also identifies the need for other tailored financial training programmes.

    Prioritising

    Prioritising is an essential element of commercial skills training, but in order to begin to prioritise, employees require transparency when it comes to the organisation’s mission and aims.

    Marrying up priorities between your staff and business goes a long way, and similarly, it is your responsibility, as an employer to prioritise the development and training of commercial skills in order to prepare your employees to continue to navigate your business through uncertainty.

  • 5 workplace skills that your employees will need by 2024

    5 workplace skills that your employees will need by 2024

    It has been suggested that in fewer than four years, employers will seek employees with a very different skill set than that of today’s workforce.

    The future of the workplace and how it will look is under constant discussion, however, employers should be concerning themselves with the future of the workforce and how it will look.

    We have researched the future skills your employees will need for the success and survival of your business in 2020.

    Flexibility

    At the rate in which technology changes, it is understandable then to assume there will be a need for a workforce that can quickly and effectively take on new skills as technology moves into the main focal point of the business.

    Along with technology, there will be a requirement for employees to have the flexibility to move offices and locations at a rapid rate.

    Content and storytelling abilities over spreadsheets

    Although data will still be a big part of future workplace skills, the ability to convert statistics and data into a story to convince clients and customers of a particular course of action will also be required. Therefore, the ability to convey data-driven proof in a narrative way will be of the utmost importance.

    Creativity

    Although in today’s workforce creativity is a desirable skill, it will reportedly become one of the top 3 skills that employers look for in their employees in 2024.

    Due to constant technological advancements that will continue to affect the future workforce, employers will be in need of creative people to decipher ways to apply new technology and create new products and services.

    Complex problem solving

    A favourite skill within today’s workforce, problem-solving, will still be at the forefront of businesses in 2023. Even though technology has influenced the way in which problems are solved with the use of data, the basic skills of being able to solve complex problems will still be an important requirement of the future workforce.

    Emotional intelligence

    Even within today’s workplace, we can see how the latest technologies have begun to take over roles that would have been completed by employees in previous years, and although this is only set to increase, computer technologies are still unable to complete some jobs in the way employees can. In 2024 the need for emotional intelligence will be even greater, with employers requiring employees that have the ability to understand and react in certain ways to customers.

    Is your workforce ready for 2024? Need our help?

    At MDA Training, we understand how to nurture and develop the talent within your business. Our tailored training programmes ensure each demographic and skill set is taken into account in order to produce the best possible outcome and subsequent return on investment.

  • Top tips on how to train your graduates effectively

    Top tips on how to train your graduates effectively

    Training employees is not just beneficial to individual growth but to the success of your business as a whole.

    Inadequate training of graduate employees could lead to job dissatisfaction and ultimately, a higher staff turnover.

    Each new hire within your business is never a guaranteed success. It is never a given that the candidate that you hire will be a hardworking, creative, ambitious individual who complements your team entirely. However, through comprehensive training, you can mould a new individual into the employee you require.

    Set out a clear and concise plan

    Ensure you create a comprehensive plan of action, detailing the different sections of training your new employee will be completing. Outlining the learning and development outcomes from each section will ensure your new employee will understand exactly what is expected of them and how it will improve their role.

    Include other employees as much as possible

    It is unrealistic to give your new recruits the attention they require on your own. Encouraging the help of your workforce by delegating some of the smaller training tasks to your experienced employees will not only take the pressure off yourself, but it will also encourage the new recruit to interact with their new work colleagues which will again build their confidence and communication within the team.

    Make use of the different training styles

    Not every employee will have the same learning style. It is important to understand how each individual learns best. For example for the more practical, hands-on, visual learner, experiential training may be required to enable them to take on their role in a more realistic practical situation. Microlearning can also be used when individuals may feel overwhelmed by their training objectives. Microlearning splits training programs into smaller more manageable chunks that your new recruit can complete as and when they are required.

    Understand the different levels of learning

    As we have suggested, not all recruits will learn in the same way and the same can be said for the time in which it may take individuals to learn. If you are training a group of new recruits at any one time be sure to understand the different abilities. Some may require more help than others especially when it comes to technological resources.

    Need help training your new recruits?

    Here at MDA Training, we understand how to nurture and develop your employees. Our tailored training programmes ensure each demographic and skill set is taken into account in order to produce the best possible outcome and subsequent return on investment.

  • Training for financial and commercial skills

    Training for financial and commercial skills

    When it comes to training for financial and commercial skills, generic, off the shelf solutions such as ‘finance for non-financial managers’ doesn’t cut it.

    These programmes have a lack of industry or organisational focus and can often be somewhat outdated, which can leave participants with basic skills they find difficult to apply to the actual business and commercial context.

    Although you may think generic solutions are more cost effective, especially when only trying to educate to a basic standard, they can actually have the opposite effect resulting in a lower return on development.

    Looking at return on development (ROD), as opposed to return on investment (ROI) has a higher emphasis on the long-term benefits an activity can have as opposed to reviewing ventures in literal terms of financial success.

    In order to develop appropriate financial and commercial skills programmes and address any financial management issues within your business, all whilst improving return on development, it is paramount bespoke training programmes are utilised.

    These tailored programmes allow participants to come away with a clear and practical understanding of how to apply their new knowledge, skills, and insights back into the workplace.

    Bespoke training for financial and commercial skills can focus on a range of the following:

    • Building and managing budgets
    • Commercial decision making
    • Commercial selling skills
    • Company valuation
    • Corporate finance
    • Creating shareholder value
    • Decision making through finance
    • Financial analysis
    • Financial modelling in Excel – practical tools and tips
    • Financial reporting
    • Identifying and managing business drivers
    • Improving financial performance
    • Introduction to finance
    • Making solutions financially compelling
    • Risk management
    • Using management information to improve performance
    • Value creation.

    Alongside tailored financial and commercial acumen training programmes, employers must look to heighten learning experiences through exciting and engaging methods if they wish to see true value; with methods such as microlearning, gamification and mobile learning proving to be particularly successful.

    The key to increasing engagement and return on development for all tailored and customised training programmes is to cater to specific training preferences and learning styles, set in the context of the business.

    Here at MDA Training, our bespoke financial and commercial skills training solutions cater to a wide range of organisations with a mix of all demographic groups and learning styles.

  • The 5 key benefits of commercial skills training

    The 5 key benefits of commercial skills training

    You may think ‘commercial skills training’ is just the latest buzzword amongst HR and training professionals, but in essence, commercial skills training is a fundamental part of ensuring your employees have the commercial acumen needed to benefit the key functions of the business.

    Commercial skills training provides each employee with insights into how the business makes money, the non-financial Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), and also where the particular employee plays a part in organisational success.

    All commercial skills training is customised in terms of each person’s job role, skill set and any succession plans in place within the business, in order to create maximum impact.

    Commercial skills training is particularly relevant but not exclusive to the Millennial demographic. This group are set to make up over 75% of the average workforce by 2025, and good commercial skills are notably lacking generation wise.

    The questions to ask here are, will your business be ready? “Does every member of my organisation understand their role in the business?” and “Is every member of the workforce equipped with the commercial skills they need to be effective, and empowered, in their role?”

    Prioritising developing commercial skills early on allows the Millennial generation to familiarise themselves with the company’s missions and aims in a commercial context, early on – meaning when the time comes for them to take the ropes and make commercial decisions for the business, you have nothing to worry about. So, what are the 5 key benefits of commercial skills training?

    Empower your workforce and retain your staff

    Making your staff an integral part of the business can have great positive effects – giving staff training and ensuring they understand their value to you will see them stay, work hard and put the business first. Empowering your workforce with commercial skills and knowledge sharing is a great way to see a return on development.

    Drive change

    If you are looking to change the focus of your business, and get your teams to change their approach within it – commercial skills training can contribute to this process. With focused training, new ways of working can be instilled across an entire workforce and be used transformatively.

    Improve reporting

    How many employees truly understand the reporting you currently use in meetings, for weekly conference calls, daily team briefs or management meetings? If your workforce doesn’t truly grasp the figures, or KPIs being discussed, they will lack the confidence and insights to help drive performance.

    Gain financial awareness

    Commercial skills training explores each employee’s day-to-day activities in terms of how they impact the business financially, both positively and negatively.

    By adding this transparency, employees are able to understand the drivers of financial performance in the business and gain an understanding of how they personally can drive financial performance.

    Improve competitor awareness

    Commercial skills training focuses on competitor awareness and how this can be used to make sound commercial decisions. Understanding the marketplace means knowing your competition, who they are, what they do and why.

    An employee that understands the competition can positively impact business performance by adapting their activities or making suggestions about positive change and adaption.

    All elements of commercial skills training help to add value to your business, and your employees. Could your employees benefit from understanding all the elements that make up your business? We can help! Experiential training, fully immersed in your commercial context and management information will support your people with skills, knowledge and insights to better understand where they can add value and achieve organisational goals.

  • Utilising gamification methods in workplace training

    Utilising gamification methods in workplace training

    Predicted as a top trend in 2016 Gamification has been in the spotlight for a number of years and its popularity in 2017 is set to rise. While it is failing in mainstream popularity, its presence within commercial skills training is constantly increasing.

    What is Gamification?

    Gamification is the concept of applying game mechanics and game design techniques to engage and motivate people to achieve their goals. The growing interest in gamification stems from the desire to increase engagement levels among employees.

    Benefits of Gamification in workplace training

     Increases business success

    A well-designed gamification platform incorporated into a workplace training strategy will begin to inspire employees to work towards specific personal and business goals while developing their skill set such as improving commercial skills. Results will then be monitored and measured and will ultimately increase business success.

    Encourages learning

    Implementing the latest technology to your workplace training plan in an engaging way will encourage employees to gain valuable commercial skills and is a fun alternative to other traditional forms of training.

    Feedback

    Gamification offers the user constant, up-to-date feedback. It allows users to benchmark themselves against their own goals and their colleagues. The feedback generated from gamification training helps users to understand their current level and elements they need to improve.

    Reduces Stress

    The last few years have seen a greater focus on the stress levels of employees in the workplace. It has been reported that 40% of workers have stated their job was very or extremely stressful while 65% of workers said that stress in work has caused difficulties.

    Many businesses are therefore under pressure to ensure that employees are happy and healthy. Gamification in the workplace can relieve stress and encourage healthy competition among employees, this can be completed by establishing goals and targets which can be used within day-to-day tasks and responsibilities with results tracked using a leaderboard and rewards systems.

    Encourages motivation and employee engagement

    One of the most frequent traits seen from the use of gamification in workplace training is the motivation seen within employees.

    With the ability to give fast, effective feedback, employees are given the opportunity to understand their own results and recognise areas for improvement.

    It also increases engagement levels as employees can challenge and help each other throughout the training process.

    Looking to train your workforce? We can help…

    At MDA Training we pride ourselves on the fresh and innovative approach we bring to learning and development.

    We will work closely with you to gain a thorough understanding of your training needs, business issues and your competency framework, and then design and deliver highly interactive, creative and engaging programmes that are fully embedded in your organisational values, culture and commercial context.

  • Shifting the culture at banks through experiential learning

    Shifting the culture at banks through experiential learning

    It is no wonder that with the introduction of the millennial generation, workplace training has undergone a dramatic transformation in order to keep up to date with the first introduction of a digital generation to the workplace.

    Over the years, older training methods have slowly been replaced with modern methods including microlearning and simulation training, with 2017 set to increase in modern digital methods as the use of virtual learning gains momentum within workplace training opportunities.

    Most industries have adapted appropriately to these changes, understanding how the advancements within technology need to be identified and utilised or risk being left behind.

    However, it has been stated that the majority of the banking and finance sector are yet to implement changes, with reports suggesting training methods are outdated and used as only to complete tick box processes.

    There are, however, few banks that have adapted to these changes and implemented training programmes accordingly which have seen continued success, and a greater improvement in employee productivity and wellbeing.

    In order for banks to see increased engagement levels with their employees through training, they need to understand the training method that would be most beneficial.

    What is experiential learning?

    Experiential training or learning is the process of learning through practical experiences. It can also be defined specifically as learning through insights and reflection.

    Most experiential learning experiences will use a hands-on approach and considers the individual learning process. The main focus of experiential training is to shift the outcome from facts and figures to the development of practical skills.

    Different types of experiential learning

    There are many different types of experiential learning methods, of which, will enable banks to engage emotionally and intellectually with employees.

    On the job training

    This training method is used to impart new skills to employees that are working on a certain position. In order to ensure employees are knowledgeable in all aspects of a business, job rotation would be beneficial as all employees can gain a hands-on approach of different roles.

    Simulations

    This form of experiential training has grown exponentially over the last few years. The method is based around creating real-life situations or scenarios that emulate elements (or key parts) of the workplace in order to give employees first-hand experience of what they can expect when in the role. Simulations provide a safe environment in which to learn, experiment with ideas and see the outcomes from their actions.

    Role-playing (or forum theatre)

    This form of training is utilised essentially to change attitudes and help people see things from a different perspective. It can be used to analyse and improve interpersonal skills within employees.

    Benefits of experiential training  

    It increases employee engagement

    As many aspects of experiential learning are based on collaboration, employees are seemingly more engaged as they are interacting and learning from each other.

    Due to the nature of training experiences, each participant plays a vital role and are crucial to decision making and therefore have greater ownership of their role again increasing motivation and engagement.

    It delivers high ROI

    Experiential learning is both personal and effective, it expands far beyond the basic ‘classroom learning’ method and therefore, it often leads to higher retention rates and ultimately higher return of investment.

    Personalised learning

    In the past, basic forms of training have resulted in employees being taught the same training, it is no surprise then, that these types of training methods have been highly ineffective.

    Experiential learning takes into account that all participants have different abilities and different areas for improvement, it allows for training programmes to be personalised to individual needs and requirements, which ultimately means a higher success rate and increased employee motivation.

    Why is this training needed for banks?

    In order for banks to move away from linear, instructor-led training they must invest in a form of training that allows for employees to interact and engage with the learning at a deeper level, helping to develop more, practical skills that will enable them to perform their roles more effectively.

  • What is a commercial decision?

    What is a commercial decision?

    Commercial decision making is one of the current business buzzwords surrounding HR, recruitment and training. But what is a commercial decision, and why should organisations, regardless of whether they are a commercial enterprise, government department or not-for-profit charity take an interest?

    What is a commercial decision?

    A commercial decision is any decision that creates value for an organisation helping to achieve its underlying strategy, mission and aims.

    A commercial decision does not have to be a ‘big’ decision, but the person in the position of making the decision must be able to adopt a logical step-by-step approach and be able to evaluate the likely outcomes through a well-rounded consideration of all possible options.

    Making commercial decisions

    The key to making commercial decisions is to follow these six steps:

    Gather information

    Firstly, what do you know about the situation at hand? Do you have any experience in this area that could be of benefit? Or maybe a colleague has dealt with something similar in the past? Utilise any relevant data and analyse the information in front of you.

    And, if necessary, share this information with relevant colleagues to ensure you gain fresh perspectives you may not have otherwise considered.

    Generate ideas

    No idea should be ignored. Even if the idea is not right for the task at hand, it may prove useful for future problems or issues. With this in mind, and based on the analysis of the data gathered, you should look to brainstorm and generate the widest range of options for consideration.

    At this stage, it is important to keep on task as it is quite common to ‘do nothing’ given the all the options on the table or take an easier way out with a ‘halfway house’ option instead of implementing a considered, commercially viable solution.

    Set a deadline

    Is there an external deadline? Or is an immediate decision needed? Understanding the timeframe in which you are to make decisions is half of the battle. For larger or more difficult decisions, having the ability to ‘sleep on it’ can really help, but more time is not always ‘better’! Setting a personal deadline can help to get things done and reduce the risk of dragging things out unnecessarily.

    Efficiency is key and with some commercial decisions, implementing an idea quickly could be the difference in creating a competitive advantage or implementing a process that minimises waste and ultimately saves money.

    Step back

    What are the possible implications of your decision? Take yourself out of the situation, and try to see the decision from all angles and explore the possible implications for the organisation’s stakeholders. This approach will help to prevent decisions made in haste you would later come to regret.

    Weigh up the risk versus reward

    Identify and evaluate the risks associated with the preferred options by drawing up a list (be that physical or mental) of the pros and cons. When making ‘big’ decisions, it is essential to conduct a thorough appraisal, both financial and non-financial, to ensure you have a full understanding of the possible implications and likely outcomes. When in doubt, get the opinions of others in a similar position. Sometimes, all you need is a slightly different perspective to ensure you are making the right choice.

    Have a backup plan

    There is no fool-proof guide here, having a backup plan is a part and parcel of making commercial decisions. The key here is good planning and good planning involves organisation. Put a contingency in place, and be prepared to execute ‘plan B’, should you need to.

    An employee with a good level of commercial awareness is more likely to make sound commercial decisions on behalf of your organisation. The ability to weigh up the pros and cons of each situation, and make a decision based on what is best for the business is essential, but in turn, employees must be able to work collaboratively too to potentially arrive at a more robust decision and in turn share responsibility.

    Commercial awareness among millennials

    One of the key issues raised among graduate recruiters in recent years is the lack of commercial awareness among millennial applicants, but now that almost 35% of the average businesses workforce is made up of millennials, how can you improve this situation?

    Commercial awareness, decision and skills training

    Commercial awareness and making commercial decisions go hand in hand. However, the focus can vary from organisation to organisation.

    This doesn’t always come naturally to your employees, which is where training comes in. Commercial skills training enables employees to be flexible, knowledgeable and proactive when it comes to moving with current market trends.

    The term ‘commercial awareness’ can vary from organisation to organisation and is driven by internal and external factors. As such, commerciality can be quite fluid and can change as the organisation evolves and responds to developments in the marketplace, industry, technological advances, customers etc.

    As such, employees also need a commercial skillset that will allow them to adapt to changes and apply these robust skills to make commercially viable decisions.

    A commercial skillset goes beyond financial skills that it is typically associated with, including a wide range of interpersonal skills too in areas such as customer service, project management and effective communication.

  • The 3 biggest training and development trends to hit in 2024

    The 3 biggest training and development trends to hit in 2024

    A new year provides business leaders with new opportunities to develop the skills of their workforce in order to improve productivity.

    With this in mind, we have compiled three of the most important trends that those in management should prioritise when training their employees to improve engagement and achieve success long term.

    Blended learning 

    Blended learning is designed to offer flexibility in how people learn by mixing traditional face-to-face classroom-based workshops and experiential simulations with online and mobile interventions.

    Also referred to as ‘hybrid’ education, blended learning is a dynamic training solution where learners can engage and interact with the learning solution in a way tailored to their preferred learning style or format.

    Embracing extensive online and mobile technology and platforms, blended learning solutions can transform and improve a participant’s learning journey.

    Microlearning

    The term ‘microlearning’ refers to micro-perspectives in the context of learning, education and training, dealing with relatively small learning units and short-term activities. Microlearning is often used when referring to more contemporary elements of e-learning.

    Where e-learning modules are typically designed to be around 20-30 minutes long, with microlearning, the duration is closer to 3-4 minutes.

    With a learner first approach, microlearning allows trainers to deliver short learning experiences designed to meet a long term learning goal, over a timeframe geared to best suit the learner.

    Mobile learning

    Mobile learning does what it says on the tin, allows learners to learn via a mobile device or tablet. With the ever-increasing use of tablets and smartphones, the demand for mobile learning is growing fast. Mobile learning offers participants the ability to learn flexibly on the go and around their work and personal life.

    More and more employees are undertaking work away from the workplace or office and utilising modern communication methods and technologies.

    Add to that the increasing number of employees that are starting to move toward more flexible working hours and mobile learning is the perfect platform to deliver training assets to these learners.

    It also allows employees to learn at their own pace and tailors training to fit an employee’s needs and availability at any given time.
