If employees are the meat and potatoes of any organization, well-trained employees are filet mignon. In today's job market,
thousands of potential hires are vying for a very limited number of job opportunities. While every company goes through pain-staking
efforts to hire only the best and the brightest, on-going training is critical to maintaining a productive and efficient workforce.
At CPS, we take your IT techs, call center reps, office staff, or interns and help them develop the skills that allow them to do their
jobs more efficiently and effectively. As your front-line, these employees act as ambassadors of your company and the impression they
leave with your clients, vendors, and customers has a direct impact on your bottom line. Managers dream of employees that can work independently
and deliver a quality product or service. We can make that dream a reality.
We customize our seminars and invidividual assessments to your employee's particular needs and offer both broad and specific
suggestions for improvement. Our goal is to comprehensively assist employees in developing skills they use in everyday interactions. This
includes very simple aspects and much more complex commmunication strategies. From the production of customer service materials to conflict negotiation
skills, we assess employees in finding the areas where improvement will make business better and help them develop those tools.
At the end of the day, investment in your employees is the most important decision you can make. We provide companies a unique way of assessing
return on investment (ROI) by generating requirements before, during, and after our training program and the costs involved with our comprehensive training program.
Companies can easily determine that outsourcing staff training is a cost-effective and time-saving option.
Here are the four steps we use to assess your ROI:
Measure the initial reaction to the training.
This is the first and
most basic level, usually involving a post-training survey assessing the quality
of the consulting experience. In the case of one client, the employees were asked if
the material was easy to follow and if the instructor was familiar with the subject
matter.
Analyze the learning. There are a number of ways to do this, such as
testing, simulations and instructor evaluations. What matters most to us is whether the employees actually absorbed the critiques and suggestions.
Analyze the skills gained over the long term. The goal of this step
is to assess whether on-the-job behavior changed after the training. This data
should be collected over a longer period of time. For example,
the year after the training was put in place, turnover dropped 8 percent, giving
the company a tangible measure of the training's effectiveness.
Measure the business impact. This step of calculation involves the cost of CPS training versus other competitors
and assessing the amount saved by choosing the customized and less expensive CPS alternatives. The company should also assess
the perceived value of the training in saved recruiting, training, and lost business revenues.
At CPS, we make sure you receive the most value from the consulting experience. Our training process is fully customized to meet the needs of wide variety of clients and we
take the time to teach your employees the skills that will make them more productive and valuable to your company.
