EOFY Refresh: Re-energise your staff training program

As the new financial year kicks off, it's the perfect time to take stock of your staff training and development and ensure you're getting the most out of your Allara Global subscription. A refreshed approach to learning can boost employee engagement, enhance skills and increase staff retention. By investing in your team's development, you are investing in the future of your business. By fostering a culture of continuous learning, you'll empower your staff to reach their full potential and contribute to your ongoing success. 

Here are some tips to maximise your training outcomes:

• Top-down positive reinforcement: Senior leaders must talk about the business investing in staff development as a business priority. Stress the importance of having a growth mindset and that continuous learning will positively impact career growth. Make yourself available to discuss training, and you will quickly identify your emerging leaders.

• Reignite interest: Share a quick company-wide announcement about new and updated courses available on the Allara Global platform. Highlight any topics that align with your business goals for the year. Remind the team that many courses available through Allara Global are bite-size, take 5 minutes and they can access them anytime through the mobile app.

• Set a challenge: Launch a friendly competition or learning initiative, encouraging staff to complete a set number of courses within a certain timeframe.

• Reward success: Offer small rewards or recognition to top performers each month or quarter. Do you run staff awards each year? Consider adding a “Most Improved” or “Never Stop Learning” Award, to help motivate staff and encourage continuous learning.

• Manager check-ins: Encourage managers/team leads to schedule brief, informal check-ins with their teams to discuss training. This opens the door for feedback and helps managers identify any areas where additional support might be needed.

• Showcase success stories: Do you have a team member who took time to invest in their learning and is successful in your business? Share their story to motivate team members.

• Future-proof your business: Identify the next generation of leaders in your business and invest in their development to ensure they have the skills they need to sustain and grow the business into the future.
