Welcome my blog! My name is Karl and I live in a small town in Western Australia. On this little corner of the internet, I will be writing about business development. I haven't started a business yet but I plan to do so in the near future. In preparation, I have been finding out everything I can about local businesses and how they operate. Over the past year or so, I have had the pleasure of learning all about how businesses work. I would like to invite you to read the articles here so you can also experience business success.
To guarantee that your employees remain productive and your business is successful, you need to think of ways to build their morale and increase their ability to carry out work optimally. You may come across the phrase staff development platform, which means the opportunities, programs or measures you have put in place for your staff to help them grow individually as people and career-wise, which in turn benefits your company and its stakeholders. The following includes what constitutes a staff development platform:
Get to Know the Personalities of Each of Your Employees
This is important in helping you learn how to tailor learning and development programs. Each employee understands and learns things differently; you need to identify different learning styles to cater to each employee. How do you get information to help you tailor development programs? Develop questionnaires and let your employees answer the questions accurately. You should put down questions like 'how would you prefer to undertake this and that activity?' List down options to choose from or allow the employees to give self-generated answers.
How does this help you and your employees? You get to know how to effectively deliver learning and developing programs, and the employees get assured that their needs are heard, felt, appreciated and met. This creates a good employer-employee relationship and you can rest assured that there will be increased productivity.
You also want each employee to be in control of his or her career. Set up learning and development programs that necessitate each employee to accomplish a particular task, upon completion of which he or she gets to a higher level in their career. You can also reward or increase the salaries of the employees depending on the level they reach.
Staff Development Software
You may come across companies offering staff development software. As you might be aware, technology makes work easier; staff development software makes it easy, efficient and effective for employers to provide learning and development programs and for employees to access them wherever they are at different times.
A workday can be extremely busy, making it difficult for the employee to fit in different learning and development programs. If there is software hosted on a server, the employee can find time outside working hours, log in to the server and complete a particular activity or course.
Additionally, if you have different company branches, instead of having different learning and development programs for each branch, you can use one software accessed by all the employees, regardless of their locality.
