HR Trainings

 

Importance of Human Resources Training

According to a survey conducted by Mckinsey  in 2018, 48% of HR professionals consider training and developing employees their greatest staffing concern. Of course, companies that manage to train and develop their employees win the jackpot.

Training programs boost employee satisfaction and improve employee retention

Employees appreciate being able to build new skills, improve their job performance and potentially evolve towards more challenging roles. It is interesting to note that ongoing education is valued by employees from all age groups as key to staying relevant in the job market.

Even more importantly, supporting and providing ongoing training opportunities show a company’s commitment to its employees’ growth. Employees feel their value to a company where employee education is promoted.

Finally, ongoing training opportunities can be publicized since they are an important perk in a company’s compensation programs. However, and unlike many other perks, ongoing education can cost very little.

 

The Human Resources team can in many ways be the glue that keeps an ever-changing business up and running. In today's tight labor market, policies and practices that support, engage and develop employees can be a truly competitive advantage. In fact:

 

• 94% of employees would stay at a company longer if it invested in their career

• 83% of employers see attracting and retaining talent as key challenges for business success

• 92% of employees say greater empathy from employers is important to boosting retention

• Effective employee development can increase performance by up to 25%

• One in four high-potential employees will leave their organizations if not engaged properly

​

While businesses are increasingly relying on HR to support and engage employees, the quality of human resources training often goes unattended to. Unlocking the true value of HR requires a comprehensive approach to ongoing human resources training.

Investing in cutting-edge HR training courses can play a critical role in ensuring the human resources department is a true strategic partner for business leaders.

Successful human resources management is easier said than done. Whether your company’s HR department is comprised of generalists, specialists, or both, there are a host of skills necessary for advocating for employees and the employer simultaneously.

But human resource training can’t focus on individual skills alone. There are external forces that cause challenges for human resources management that can be addressed by HR training courses.

• Compliance and Regulatory Change

• Adapting to Business Change

• Evolution of Recruiting

• Measuring HR Effectiveness

• Surviving Management Change

 

HR departments everywhere have evolved from only handling transactional work such as payroll and hiring to playing a strategic role in the overall function of businesses around the world. As a result, HR managers are no longer able to rest on the laurels of their past experience. Rather, they must stay abreast of ongoing changes to federal and state laws; best practices for compensation and benefits; and ways to keep employees safe, engaged, and productive in the workplace.

sbmc offers instruction across a variety of courses that help you better understand the employment and labor law requirements. Further, these courses cover key HR practices and processes for not only staying in compliance with state and federal laws, but proactively managing the HR functions of your organization.

What Types of Training Do HR Professionals Need?

HR professionals are responsible for completing a wide range of tasks - from hiring and firing employees to ensuring company compliance with state and federal employment laws. As a result, people who work in HR need to understand many principles and best practices to do their jobs. This knowledge takes years to develop through trial and error. Training accelerates the process by covering all the fundamentals and allowing you to learn from others' experiences.

Many employers require their HR staff members to hold bachelor's degrees in Human Resources, Business or related topics. All additional HR training is voluntary. This means you do not need to receive a certification to begin your career.

Although there are no formal educational requirements for HR professionals, you can still benefit from training. To advance your career and feel more confident in your role, seek out training in a variety of HR topics, especially those that align with your goals. For example, if you hope to specialize in payroll, you might attend a training on payroll law or payroll audits.

 

 

Why Complete Training on Multiple Topics?

HR training gives you several advantages in the workplace. It shows your dedication to the HR field and demonstrates your competency to future employers. It can also make you more likely to receive a promotion. When you receive training in multiple HR topics, you will have the skills necessary to take advantage of more varied job opportunities. Plus, you can increase the value you provide to your organization and employees.
