Steve Albanese, president of Cool Breeze Systems in Columbus, says online training companies are beneficial for small and medium-size businesses. Online training does not require printed materials, such as workbooks, handouts and other items for each employee. Your employees get access to this information via the Internet and download the information if needed. For example, when we train our clients in sales and marketing, the clients create a customized program. There's no need to print or provide the entire workbook.
Employees can learn on their own time in the convenience of their home.
This can be costly with air fares, hotel rooms and other expenses. By using a Web-based training program, employees can be trained at their location. You also can have group training sessions at work, further reducing the cost while enhancing the learning experience. It's more practical to learn at the workplace, even at your own desk, or at home,'' said Bonnie Black, a spokeswoman with ezLearn Systems, an online training company. If a participant is having problems, you can intervene immediately, saving the company more time and money.
