As we at SAS celebrate another year of supporting a myriad of aviation organisations we are looking forward to 2015 and the many opportunities to develop exciting and innovative solutions to helping organisations to develop!
With more than 100 Regulatory and Vocational Training courses compliant with EASA regulations currently available on www.sassofia.com and a growing number of online training course being added to www.easaonline.com we are confident we have a suitable product to help and support you to develop your staff competences in a cost effective way.
We are asking our existing and potential customers to look inward and to consider the Importance of Employee Training, whether they are new or experienced provides for a valuable contribution to the employers and employees wellbeing.
Sometimes training slips a little in the hierarchy of aviation business priorities. When we asked our aviation colleagues and associates for their comments on why employee development and training is usually given a lower priority we were told the following:
“The main reason is that many companies are simply focused on today, usually the organisation is in a continuous development and re development, it is obliged to do more with less and primarily it is focused on day to day operations. Scant attention is paid to longer term activities, as a result activities with less defined “payback” (and off course training considerations absolutely fall into this category) tend to fall into the “for another day category”.
Another often provided reason is that there is insufficient time for training – In reality this is a very “weak” excuse as there is always time for important activities it is a case of identifying the training as a need and necessity rather than a chore or an obligation.
Once we adopt the mind-set concerning the importance of training the whole environment of training looks very different. If we look a little bit deeper at our organisational mechanisms for employee development, to consider how effective it is?
A more important question is how are we measuring the effectiveness of our competence management processes – without measurement how do we know we are getting the best return on investment (ROI)?
The process of managing our employees training needs does not have to be onerous, rather developing an effective competence management process and developing an understanding of a training needs analysis for all employees.
We should understand that genuine support of the employees does in fact deliver loyalty and as a consequence also more engaged employees who naturally become more productive.
If training is done correctly it will without doubt benefit the organisation, if not the danger is that the organisation talent pool suffers and so too does the organisation!
