RELEASE
Employees perform better when they
are supported and trained at work
Dubai : The importance of training and certification
as an essential tool to remain relevant at the workplace came under the
spotlight at a workshop organized by UAE’s leading executive training and
management firm, Blue Ocean Academy, recently.
The workshop titled: “Increasing Measurable Effectiveness
of Training” got together heads of training from large corporates worldwide who
debated on the different ways of measuring the tangible impact of training on
employees. The participants arrived at a consensus that business productivity,
profitability and customer loyalty are enhanced when employees are trained and
supported at work.
Dr. Samer Parekh, an internationally renowned speaker
on the tangible quotient of training said: “What separates sustainable
companies from the rest, is the effort of the management in training its
employees. The
best managers tend to be great motivators and promoters of success and they are
clearly seeing the direct impact of training on productivity, translating into
profits.”
Highlighting
on the “Pesos” model of training, Dr. Parekh, a PhD from the University of
Wisconsin, said “there is an apparent disconnect between what business asks for
as a measure of effectiveness of training and what can be actually measured.”
Before training a student must develop a readiness to learn and after the
training is complete, it should reflect in his behaviour outside the classroom.
For
corporates as well as individual employees, education and training are all skill-enhancing
strategies that are imperative in today’s world to remain relevant at the
workplace. Certifications and discipline-specific training programs are focused
and help in enhancing career objectives. There are certifications that set the
industry-standard and are imperative in a changing employment scenario.
“The growth in certification programs is a
reaction to the changing employment market. International certifications are
portable, since they do not depend on a company's definition of a certain job,”
said Dr. Sathya Menon, Blue Ocean Academy.
Increasingly companies keen to hire certified
professionals demonstrating to customers, competitors, suppliers, staff and
investors that industry-respected best practices are in use. Blue Ocean also
launched its public course calendar 2014 on the occasion.
Headquartered in the UAE with a strong presence in
the UK, KSA, Qatar, Oman, Sri Lanka and India, Blue Ocean stands on an enviable
reputation built on 16 years of training, an impressive roster of blue-chip
clients, a global network of certified trainers and international affiliations.
