3 Tips for Making Sure Your Trainer is the Trainer Your Business Needs

August 18, 2019

Every so often, your business might need to have a business trainer come in and talk to your employees. Business trainers work with a business to teach management and employees about important aspects of their industry that they need to know to achieve success. However, in today’s highly competitive world, many corporate trainers are competing for your business. How will you know which is the best fit for your goals?

Qualifications

The first thing you want to look at with any business trainer is qualifications. Understand, however, that the qualifications of a proper corporate trainer go well beyond some piece of paper from a university. You want to check their resume even more intently than a regular employee’s. You’re looking for references, how they did in the past and if they’re a good fit for your niche. For instance, even if they worked on Wall Street and trained for FCC compliance, that might have the wrong skill set for your business, despite their impressive qualifications.

Measurable Results

It can become quite difficult to measure your return on investment (ROI) for practical measures, like with a product or employee, but it is vital that you do so. According to L3Harris, determining if the training is having the necessary impact is critical for determining if the trainer is making enough of a difference to warrant keeping the training program as it stands. It’s not only about hiring a trainer; it’s also about keeping a trainer on staff to ensure you’re getting the most out of your business. So, you’re going to want to see noticeable, measurable results that pay off. Develop ways by which to measure the trainer’s performance against expenses, so that you can gauge ROI properly and ensure you’re receiving an ample return.

Company Fit

Another thing to keep in mind beyond the qualifications on paper and the ROI for your company is whether this trainer is a good fit. He or she might be a fantastic trainer and make you money by training your employees well. But how is team morale around the business? Is this person causing problems? These are things you have to consider with a trainer. Your business is a culture, according to Breathe. Someone acting as a counter to that culture can slowly eat away at morale and cost you big in the long run. So, make sure the trainer is a great fit with the culture of your business.

 

Corporate training can be a great investment for your company, but it’s important to make sure that your trainer is the best one for your company. Luckily, there are a lot of corporate trainers out there to choose from. Take some time to review each trainer’s qualifications, past results, and their fit with your company’s culture before making your decision.
