Training issues resulting from internal need of the company

Internal training:
Internal training is the process from which employees achieve the skills to perform their jobs and
is an essential part of any successful business. Employee training is associated
with increased performance and retention. In addition, employees may not reach their full
potential and higher levels of productivity will not be achieved unless employees are adequately
trained.

Training Issues Related to Internal Needs of the Company

 . Internal training adds extra burden to company administration. The company must
accommodate suitable training facilities and training materials as well as select suitable
candidates for the training. This may be difficult to execute in addition to being
inefficient in comparison to outsourcing.
 Some of the employees may feel that balancing their work and training is an added
pressure or distraction. This may lead to a temporary degrade of performance at work.
Although, some find this a perfect excuse for their improper work.0
 Internal training can go motionless if they are not improved from time to time. Again,
many employees may not take the training seriously and if that happens, such training
will fail to benefit the company.
 The companies need to motivate their employees that take the training otherwise the
employees may not efficiently utilize the knowledge they receive during the training to
improve their workplace performance.
 A notable feature of internal training is that it is often informal as it is delivered by
employees who are already known to each other.
 An additional downside to internal training is that it can take up a considerable amount of
staff time, as staff members are needed to deliver the training.
 Internal training can be influenced by the familiarity of the business, giving a narrowed
perspective of what is capable within the business. This may reduce the potential for
more ambitious training to be implemented

.
Advantages of Internal Training:
 Internal or onsite training is proven to be cost-effective for companies. Because the cost
per employee reduces when they are trained in a large group rather than sending each of
them for training outside the company. Furthermore, in-house training is usually charged
on a daily basis not on hourly basis.
 This can also be beneficial for the employees since they can improve their professional
qualifications without having to leave their workplace which saves valuable time.
 The training course contents can be customized according to the company needs. This
allows professionals to receive more specific training which is relevant to the business
issues their company may be facing. So this training can be designed to meet company-
specific goals.
 This training also encourages team building. Delegates from different departments can
take the training and understand each other’s role. They learn to work with each other and
resolve conflicts.

Conclusion:

In conclusion we can say that internal training can be beneficial to companies only if they can
yield benefits from the training and derive solutions to get over the drawbacks. If they can
efficiently train their existing employees, it can lead them to achieve increased productivity
without having to increase the number of skilled employees and turn out to be economically
beneficial.
