As a good employer, you no doubt take your responsibilities seriously. Whether it’s providing opportunities for the professional development of staff members, encouraging independence and resourcefulness in employees or ensuring they are up to speed with the many changes in health and safety regulations, there’s much to keep you occupied. Imagine how much easier and simpler life would be if you could partner with a company that can tick all those boxes for you? Well, that’s exactly what’s on offer with AMS Group. We are a leading provider of driver training, industry training and health and safety courses and we operate throughout NZ. So, let’s look in detail about how our services can have a positive impact on your business.
Value Of Adult Education
Continuous professional development or adult education allows your employees to develop their skills and acquire new ones. The business environment is constantly changing and there are always fresh ways of doing things as well as new products and tools that will improve productivity and help to maintain your competitive edge as a business. Investing in the professional development of staff members, therefore, makes good business sense.
In addition, it’s been identified as one of the key drivers of employee engagement. And there’s plenty of research to suggest that happier employees are more productive and tend to stay longer in their jobs so that recruitment and retention costs are kept to a minimum.
Quite simply, adult education enriches the individual and adds value to any business and that’s why here at AMS Group we’re passionate supporters of professional development.
Effectiveness of Online Education
Online learning is empowering for the staff member. It allows them to work at their own pace and gives them control of their learning. And from the employer’s perspective, online education offers a number of benefits with the most important being cost savings. Traditional forms of classroom-style learning are expensive when you add up the tutor’s fees and venue hire charges. In addition, there’s the cost of providing cover for the staff member’s absence from the workplace. By comparison, online courses are available 24/7 which means that the employee can complete the training at a time and location that’s convenient to them. And they can take as much time as they need to review and digest the information as well as completing any assignments.
AMS Group’s courses are available online and so maximise the cost savings and efficiencies for you as the employer as well as providing convenience and choice for the employee.
Importance Of Health And Safety Training
There are of course legal requirements to provide health and safety training for staff and these can be quite specific depending on the industry. In addition, ensuring adequate health and safety standards are maintained provides protection for you as an employer and as a business from possible legal challenges as well as penalties for non-compliance.
AMS Group provides a range of courses that will meet the requirements of most companies and we regularly update our courses in response to legislative changes. Bespoke options are available to if you have specific requirements. Just get in touch for a no-obligation discussion.
