02:26 Another important type of employee training is professional development. This area, which often highlights best practices within an industry or job category, can include everything from formal professional certifications and technology training, to courses on customer service, business ethics, communication skills, and more.
03:06 Next, think about your budget-both overall and per employee or position, again, giving priority to compliance and key job roles.
03:39 Now you’re ready to begin sourcing training. You have a world of choices to match to your needs, budget, and timing requirements.
04:12 Whatever training formats you choose, ensure that they are accessible, efficient in both time and cost, and measurable. Employees should be able to demonstrate their new knowledge, or be formally tested, as part of the training.
04:44 Finally, whatever training you decide to offer, communicate it clearly and uniformly to your employees. You’re making an investment in your employees’ careers, and they should be made aware of your commitment.
