This helps remove the embarrassment of saying you don’t understand or need something to be repeated, training software works at the pace the employee needs. 

As a manager, you know that training isn’t a one-time assignment, but is an on-going task that is usually taken in small strides. Plus, using online employee training only costs you a one-time fee so when you need to offer more training and soft skills, you can boost the training you do because it comes at no added cost. Still not convinced? We elaborate even more as to the importance of employee training software and why Connecteam is trusted by so many companies as their training software solution. 

Why you need employee training software: 

• Reduce costs and save time

A major advantage of using online employee training is the direct impact it has on your bottom line. You don’t have to stress over the expenses that usually come with in-person training – for example, save on printing costs as an online solution needs to be updated only once and you don’t spend anything additional to print or reprint new materials. Also, an online solution is a one-time fee so you don’t have to spend money over and over to hire a trainer. 

Apart from reducing costs, you save time with an online solution. All course creation, updates and actual training time dramatically less because of employee training software. Your employees can study when it’s best for them and at their own pace, instead of wasting time traveling or sitting in a classroom. As things change, you can update the course material accordingly so that everything is logged in real-time. Additionally, save time with a trainer as they need to record and create material once and that’s it, there is no need to hire the trainer multiple times. 

• A more efficient on-boarding process

Instead of scheduling a day and time to onboard new employees, you can spread the material in just a couple of clicks. Through a user-friendly interface, you can edit training material and send access to the relevant employee. Your new hire receives all the materials needed in real-time on his or her first day, instead of waiting days or weeks or even for the next training session.

In addition, you can monitor progress and can issue tests to check an employee understands what was covered. Plus, this helps you build standardization throughout the company, branches and departments.

• Better engagement and visibility 

Online employee training creates an efficient channel for communication between managers and employees and encourages interaction. Managers can send push notifications to remind employees to complete a particular section of training, can alert employees of new material or quizzes and more. Additionally, an online forum allows employees to interact in real-time when they have questions. This boosts productivity and prepares your staff for on-the-job success.

• Lower turnover

A lot of companies are faced with high turnover, however, when you use employee training software properly from the get-go, you will help job satisfaction across the board. Good on-boarding will lower turnover of new employees in the first three months.
