Training

Tethys Consulting offers a customised Training solution which is specifically targeted at helping you ensure that your personnel have the skills and capabilities to help drive your business forward.

Ask any successful business leader what makes the biggest difference in running an organisation and the chances are they will tell you that it is the personnel they employ. If you don’t have the right people with the right skills and experience working for you then you stand little chance of making a significant business impact.

The fact is that many organisations fail to maximise their human potential simply because they fail to train to maximum effect. It may be that they feel that their staff can do their jobs adequately enough. Or they may feel that they do not need to learn new skills. Many people also fail to commit to solid training because they see it as a waste of money. What happens if you train your people and they leave, for example? You’ll have spent time and money training them up only for them to take their new skills elsewhere. But, what happens if you don’t train your people and they stay?

Develop Your Staff

You may well lose some staff that you’ve spent training time and money on but – the chances are - you’ll lose fewer staff than if you didn’t train at all. The ones that do stay will be happier, more productive and better placed to meet your business targets. The fact is that many staff feel more committed to an organisation that helps them learn new skills and achieve their potential.

And, committing to training will help you save money in other ways. Staff that are inadequately trained – and who don’t leave - make more mistakes, fail to deliver to objectives, find it harder to complete ad hoc projects and assignments, and may inadvertently cause legal problems for your business if their actions fail to comply with the Trade Practices Act.

The fact is that all of these issues can be avoided if you take time to implement targeted training initiatives. It may be that you already have internal training in place – this is fine, if the people you use to train have the experience to do the job for you. Or, you may send your staff on external training courses – this is fine as well, if the courses are targeted to your actual business needs.

But, for most businesses these options just don’t work as well as they should. They waste money on internal training because they tend to use existing senior staff to train – they may be great at their jobs but they have no real training skills. Or, they waste money on external courses that don’t fulfil their aims because they are too generalised.

Tethys Consulting has established a specific Training solution designed to help you develop, implement and deliver targeted training. With our help you can get your staff up to speed quickly and effectively. Our training can be used to fill gaps in existing training initiatives or it can be used to give staff useful skills and experience to both do their everyday jobs and/or take on new projects.

Delivered by skilled business training personnel our programmes are designed to work to maximum effect. Our aim is to engage your employees by producing a structured training environment that delivers the training in question in the most effective way. You will then know that your employees have the skills and experience to help drive your business forward.

Customised Solutions for Your Business

All of our training initiatives are delivered to your own project/business drivers. We work with you to understand your actual training needs so that the results we deliver for you are customised to ensure that they actually work. Our training can be delivered to large groups in a conference type situation, in workshops or to smaller groups according to your needs and preferences.

Our solutions here include a range of subjects and areas – these include:

Negotiation Skills – negotiation skills are a vital part of many business roles, yet your staff may not have the necessary capabilities to negotiate effectively. Empowering them with training here can see a significant increase in overall business success and profits and a decrease in lost opportunity scenarios.
