Why your Organisation should Consider Bespoke E-Learning

by | Sep 29, 2021 | Business and Power Skills, News

Is bespoke e-learning the right option for your organisation? To help you answer this question we discuss some of the benefits of bespoke e-learning compared to ready-to-go training to help you decide whether a bespoke e-learning solution could be right for your organisation.

Before you can hope to answer the question of whether bespoke e-learning is the right choice for your company, let’s start by looking at your online training choices.

In the world of e-learning there are two main options you can consider. Here at REALSENSE Learning we offer ready-to-go e-learning courses as well as providing bespoke training solutions.

Our ready-to-go courses provide a quick and easy solution that suit a large variety of organisations, especially for those that have relatively straight forward training requirements. In comparison, our bespoke training solutions are ideal for businesses that have more specific or complex requirements.

Bespoke e-learning means training designed around your objectives

It all starts with understanding your objectives. To do this we think it’s important to not only get to know you, but to understand your brand and all of your desired learning outcomes, no matter how numerous or complex they might be.

We view our bespoke training as a collaboration, working closely with you to plan and storyboard training that matches your branding, and corporate personality.

The bespoke e-learning that we deliver is focused on learners, helping them to understand and master any topic quickly and is designed to be easy and intuitive to follow, all delivered quickly and efficiently through our powerful learning management platform. Courses are tailor-made to suit the needs of your organisation and are scalable and easy to modify to continually help you adapt to changing business and employee needs.

Learners can access course material from anywhere in the world, at any time of the day or night, and of course it’s all fully tracked and managed which makes our training not only practical but also extremely flexible. We can provide multilingual courses too so we really can help you train all the staff in your organisation, wherever they might be in the world.

Dedicated account managers

One of the things that sets REALSENSE Learning apart, is the fact that as our client, you’ll have one point of contact throughout.

Your account manager will get to know you, your business and objectives inside out, providing excellent continuity of service, helping to ensure we deliver a bespoke training solution that is completely tailored to your desired learning outcomes and meets your objectives exactly.

Cost-effective training solutions

You set your budget and we will work with you, letting you know how best to use your investment in training and always remaining completely transparent – there are no hidden extras with our pricing models. Customer care and loyalty are incredibly important to us so we will work with you to achieve the training you want and need.

Letting us develop your bespoke training probably costs less than you think, so if you feel like you could benefit from our expertise, or you’d just like to discuss your requirements and find out more, we’ll be happy to discuss your needs and provide you with an estimate of costs.

Soft Skills Training in the Workplace

Whilst employers and HR teams are fully aware of the need to train their staff and the courses they can provide to help upskill and improve job performance, the area of Soft Skills Training is often overlooked.

In fact, former LinkedIn CEO Jeff Weiner found that the biggest skills gap in the US workplace as in soft skills which helps demonstrate the need to look more closely at this important area of employee development.

Hard Skills

‘Hard’ Skills tend to relate to specific expertise and knowledge that employees may require to do their job successfully. For example, a teacher requires a degree or other qualification whereas a company secretary might need to be able to work at a certain typing speed. Hard skills vary and can change depending upon the requirements of the job.

Soft Skills

‘Soft’ Skills are more often described as relating to an individual’s personality traits, attitude, and behaviours. Although these are often innate, they can also be developed and honed through the correct type of training.

Often HR teams, employers and recruiters specify specific soft skills that organisations require from their employees. They tend to include skills that allow people to work well in a team, communicate effectively and manage conflict. Emotional intelligence is also an especially important soft skill for those in leadership or management roles.

The benefits of employing staff with excellent soft skills

Developing a team of staff with excellent soft skills is essential because this means that employers benefit from having employees who are flexible and adaptable at work and cope well during times of change. Most workplaces today are fluid and dynamic so having a team of staff with an interpersonal skillset that enables them to problem solve, team build and manage change is essential for employers.

The main soft skills sought by most organisations include but are not limited to:

  • Communication – written and verbal
  • Teamwork
  • Problem Solving
  • Conflict Resolution
  • Leadership
  • Flexibility
  • Interpersonal / people skills

Soft Skills Training

Many employers assume that soft skills are innate and can’t be developed or changed. In fact, assuming your team will always know how to act in any situation can lead to numerous problems.

All individuals can benefit from training, to help them to boost their productivity, enhance the way they build relationships with others, and improve the way they communicate.

For employers, providing soft skills training means that you’re investing in your team and helping to build their resilience. Soft skills are needed to build a positive work environment and can help improve the profitability and success of your organisation.
