Customized Solutions
What is customized training?
Customized training is employee training that is customized to the exact needs of the business. It is performance-based, defined by the goals set by the business organization in coordination with Customized Solutions. For example, if a customer service course is needed for call center employees, the company may identify a reduction of customer complaints by 20% as an outcome of the training. Customized Solutions will create course content that will focus on phone techniques that emphasize handling difficult customers and reducing service delivery time. The key focus of customized training is improved employee performance.
What are the steps involved in securing customized training?
- Consultation and Needs Analysis: Contact Customized Solutions for a consultation and needs analysis to determine training needs, expected training outcomes and program costs.Current workplace productivity requirements and actual performance are assessed, performance gaps are identified and performance goals and measures of goal achievement are set.
- Training Delivered: Once the performance goals are identified as a training need in the workplace, training can be provided at your company site or our campus locations. Training is available at any shift or in a time frame that fits your business schedule.
- Evaluation of Training: Effectiveness of the training is reviewed, based on pre and post tests, student evaluations and productivity performance indicators identified in the needs analysis.
How are needs assessments conducted?
With customer approval and consultation, Customized Solutions will conduct interviews with management, supervisors, and employees. Pre-training skills tests may be administered and key performance indicators may be reviewed if appropriate.
Where are training classes held?
Training can be conducted at the company site, if appropriate training facilities are available such as a training or conference room with audio visual equipment. Customized Solutions will provide training equipment, including our laptop computer lab, if equipment is not readily available on site.
