Training & Consultancy Importance of Training Training is crucial for organisational development and success. It is fruitful to both employers and employees of an organisation. Employees become more efficient and productive if they are trained well. Training of employees takes place after orientation takes place. Training is the process of enhancing the skills, capabilities and knowledge of employees for doing a particular job. Training process moulds the thinking of employees and leads to quality performance of employees. It is continuous and never ending in nature. Top performing companies not only recognise the importance of their people but also the need to provide the right skills to enable their people. 71% of CEOs cited human capital, ahead of products, customer relationships and brands, as the leading source of sustained economic value. In addition CEOs ranked “People Skills” in the top 4 “External forces impacting the enterprise”. 84% of employees in Best Performing Organisations are receiving the training they need compared with 16% in the worst performing companies. The Lioncare Group can help you develop improved knowledge, understanding, skills and abilities in a range of subjects and areas related to childcare and special education, team-working and groups, management and organisational dynamics. Importance of Consultancy There are many hidden dynamics to organisational behaviour and it is quite normal from time to time for a department or service of an organisation to experience difficulties. Support and intervention from internal management structures is usually sufficient to promote a return to effective functioning. However, in some situations an external mind is needed to help explore where processes of thinking, relating, and emotional discord are energising the difficulties, and help reveal what is happening ‘below the surface’. Every company needs consultancy to improve the overall performances of the entire organization of the company. Management consultancy helps the company exploit the resources for the betterment of the company. It also helps the company to maximize the use of financial and human resources. The Lioncare Group Consultancy Team can help you make sense of the unspoken, the complex and the difficult areas in your own organisation and in doing so understand “what’s really going on”. This can help you and your organisaiton maximise your potential, make changes that last, and deliver long-term performance improvements.
