Do you envy your office colleagues because they are computer savvy? You can too and you can seek the help of your employer if you need to. Many large companies offer computer training of their employees to help them move forward in the corporate ladder or merely develop their computer skills to be able to work better. Onsite computer training will be advantageous to employees who are willing to learn.
What is on-site computer training?
Mostly, employers want their employees to learn a certain computer programs to help them perform their job well. Of course, this is not the only advantage of on-site computer training because while learning the computer program needed by the company, the employee likewise learns additional skill that will help them in the future.
On-site computer training as the term implies is computer training conducted in the place of work or home of the enrollees. Mostly, these trainings are conducted in large company premises. This is to avoid additional expenses such as travel cost and time flexibility.
Benefits of onsite computer training
As mentioned above, the company may reduce its expenses because the computer training is done in their own premises.
- Time flexibility, trainings can be done during off-peak hours or after normal working hours.
- Companies may also define the training programs so that they only pay for their specified computer training module.
- You develop the skills of your employees that will help them work well for you.
There are other benefits that the companies may receive from having their employees’ computer trained. One of which is the loyalty of the employees who received the computer training. Employers will therefore be able to keep their best employees and further develop their reputation as a company who cares for the welfare of their workers.
Of course, one major advantage is that their employees will be able to work well for the company and thus bring in the profit faster. This is the main reason why large companies have their employees computer trained.
Cost of on-site computer training
If the computer training is for a program necessary to conduct the work well, such as Microsoft Office, the employer only pays for this module. Then, the company shoulders the cost.
If the computer training is for personal development of the employee, the management may shoulder the full cost of the on-site computer training or share with the employee a certain percentage.
Finally, because in on-site computer training, you need to bring in the trainer, the cost may be a little more expensive but employers’ benefit largely from having their people computer savvy and thus, the cost is the last consideration, if ever.
I may however recommend that before you hire a computer training institution to conduct onsite computer training for your employees, check them out first. If they have been in business for more than five years, then you may be assured that they can train your employees well enough. The knowledge of their trainers may also be a consideration before you hire them.
Onsite computer training is a benefit you can extend to your employees; you will boost their loyalty to your company if you can help them learn the skills they want to learn all this years.
