Employee development made easy: steps for selecting trainers and coaches

Why employee development is important

• Competitive advantage: Continuous training can make the difference. Employees who constantly expand their skills help your company remain competitive and successfully meet the challenges of the market.

• Employee retention: Further training not only increases professional competence, but also employee retention and satisfaction. An invested team is more committed and actively contributes to the success of the company.

Planning your further training strategy

• Needs analysis: Determining your employees’ training needs is the first step. A thorough analysis will help identify the areas that require development and improvement.
• Setting goals: Clear goals for employee development are crucial. Do you want to improve specific skills, promote managers or strengthen the entire team? Define clear goals that align with company goals.

Selection of trainers and coaches

• Internal vs. External: The decision between internal and external trainers and coaches requires weighing up the advantages and disadvantages. Internal experts know the company well, while external experts bring fresh perspectives and experience.
• Qualifications and expertise: When selecting trainers and coaches, qualifications and experience are crucial. Look for certified professionals with a proven track record in people development.

The role of external partners

• External trainers: External trainers can enrich training courses with fresh input. You bring external perspectives and best practices that inspire the team and encourage new ways of thinking.
• Coaching experts: Coaching from external experts is often more effective. External coaches can better address individual needs and offer an unbiased perspective.

Collaboration and communication

• Clear expectations: Clear expectations and goals are crucial. Communicate clearly what is expected of trainers and coaches and ensure clear alignment with company goals.

• Feedback and adjustment: Continuously monitor progress and adjust strategy as necessary. Continuous feedback enables agile adjustment and optimizes further training measures.
