SBA 366: Employers want to pay for your training, you just don't know how to ask for it Oct 05, 2022

Show notes

As one of the largest providers of training in the building automation industry we see employers investing millions to train their employees each year.

Yet our industry has a belief that employers do not want to train their people. This makes no logical sense on the surface. Trained employees stay longer, produce more profit, and deliver better customer satisfaction. Outside of those benefits, we have seen firsthand how many organizations now have strategic initiatives around talent development and retention.

Which begs the question do employers really avoid training their employees? Or do employees not know how to ask for training?

In this episode of the Smart Buildings Academy Podcast we are going to layout an ROI based approach to training requests. You will learn how to analyze your role and the impact prospective training will have on your role. You will then learn how to communicate the results of that training in such a way as to align with your employers strategic objectives.
