Further education is an important component of any good corporate philosophy. Stagnation occurs where money is saved in the wrong places and employees are not developed further. In this context, education controlling plays an increasingly important role.
Education controlling for personnel development is a concept that pursues the goal of optimizing the systematic planning, management, and control of internal company further education processes with regard to efficiency and effectiveness. The most varied aspects must be considered for the correct further development of employees.
We will explain why education controlling is so enormously important and what exactly you must consider in the following blog post.
EDUCATION CONTROLLING AS a GUARANTEE OF SUCCESS FOR THE FUTURE
The importance of further education in companies cannot be overestimated. In times of digitization and the modern labor market, companies must constantly reinvent themselves and adapt to the conditions of the market in order to keep pace. In addition, there are generally a number of legal regulations that must be demonstrably complied with in order to be legally on the safe side. For this reason, more and more companies have attempted in-company further education measures in recent years. This includes not only the development of long-term employees but also the onboarding of new employees.
The greater the importance of further education programs in companies, the more frequently education controlling is used to manage the development processes in a meaningful way. Education controlling is strongly dependent on the size of the companies. Companies with many employees in particular rely increasingly on this form of management for logistical reasons.
THE PHASES OF EDUCATION CONTROLLING AND THE RIGHT INSTRUMENTS
Education controlling manages the processes of future-relevant further education processes. So simple, so good. But how exactly does this form of management present itself? In general, education controlling runs in always similar cycles:
- Determine needs: First, the company must check which concrete further education offers must be created in order to secure further corporate success. In addition to various development opportunities for the workforce, legal training courses are also conceivable here.
- Planning of further education: Now it must be planned how and in what form these contents should be conveyed. In the past, conferences were often held, the sustainable learning success of which was unfortunately often limited. For this reason,
DIGITAL EMPLOYEE TRAININGS are particularly popular today. These also provide a great advantage in relation to education controlling in general, as we will find out later. - Carry out further education: Now the further education must also be carried out. Digital elements in particular are a popular means of sustainably determining the content.
- Practical application: For education controlling, it is extremely important that the knowledge is applied in practice. After all, the employees do not learn for nothing, but should create relief in everyday life through the training courses.
- Evaluation and securing: At the end of education controlling is the securing and evaluation of further education. Only through constant further development of the measures will the learning process be permanently improved. Key figures are used to monitor education controlling, which measurably measure progress. In this way, the further education process can also be proven.
EDUCATION CONTROLLING WITH SWISSTEACH
It is evident that education controlling itself requires a certain amount of resources. In order to ensure that this is not too high, digital learning management software (LMS) are particularly recommended. These offer a finished program with the help of which the knowledge is to be conveyed. The advantage of such an LMS lies on the one hand in its low effort. The program is prefabricated and only needs to be fed with the appropriate content. On the other hand, digital solutions in particular are extremely flexible and effective for education controlling. The employees only need a digital end device and can advance their further development anytime and anywhere. Of course, this should not exclude on-site training, but it provides the best prerequisites for not only planning the right mix (blended learning), but also for implementing and monitoring it effectively and efficiently. The programs are often linked to tools that monitor the learning process and thus show which contents are well understood and which need to be reworked. The LMS are also extremely effective for knowledge transfer. For example, gamification elements are used to convey the contents in a playful way and thus increase EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT.
