Maximize Your Business ROI by Developing Confident, Skilled Trainers

Not so long ago, the concept of selecting internal employees to be trained as trainers was considered radical, even risky. During times of economic downturns, however, organizations begin to consider different strategies for maximizing internal resources and developing longer-term capabilities. One approach that is supported by the work and philosophy of CRG Associates is "internal trainer development." These services may range from training internal SMEs , or Subject Matter Experts, to enhancing skill sets and competency levels of internal trainers whose roles have broadened significantly in recent times.

The training and development and consulting firm of CRG Associates demonstrates the value of this approach by partnering with its clients for powerful results. Skilled facilitators guide the process from selection through to evaluation of results, and pay particular attention to the importance of building confident trainers. "Complete trainer development" is now available.

If your organization struggles with the challenge of developing employees in an unpredictable economy, we may have the solution in an emerging business "best practice": developing the skill and confidence level of select employees to move into the role of "internal trainer and coach." Whether you are a large corporation facing constant change or a small organization with limited resources, this approach can serve you very well. Many clients choose this approach for a variety of business reasons including:

• to ensure consistency of training content and delivery

• to foster ownership of the overall process

• to increase retention

• to offer a professional development component

• to reduce their overall cost and boost the return on this investment

One client's story has been published in the September 2002 edition of "Workforce Magazine: Hr Trends and Tools for Business Results".
