Training Trends in 2013 � Strategic Training Solutions Answers the Call!
As the economy continues to grow at a steady pace, employers are recognizing the need to deliver training that helps managers meet the needs and demands of a new workforce. �According to the American Management Association report, Trends to Influence Training for 2013, “Coaching will continue to be a key tool in executive and leadership development”,� and that “demand for basic skills training is expected to re-emerge, with a renewed demand for programs designed to build communications skills, critical thinking, collaboration and creativity which are needed to improve employee productivity. “ This report also cited the growing number of employees working remotely, and the rapid rise in mobility as a factor in developing training programs.�
Strategic Training Solutions, we are experiencing a significant uptick in activity and interest from our clients in these areas as well.� According Laura McNerney, STS President, “Over the last six months, employers have been expressing their interest in finding new ways to re-energize their work environments.� Managers need to move beyond supporting tactical and operational issues, and become better coaches, mentors and change agents.� As expectations to do more with less have become the norm, they need to work harder than ever to avoid complacency and keep their teams motivated, energized and enthusiastic about their work.”�
