When you’re thinking about recruiting and retaining good employees, one of the first things to offer them is the opportunity to learn and develop their skills. If you’ve not considered the benefits of training, here are a few reasons why you should put it at the top of your to-do list.
Increase productivity
If you want your renovation business to build a reputation for high-quality, efficient work, it’s essential your staff are well trained. Employees who are trained to the highest standards will be able to work to deadline, make fewer mistakes and finish projects at a level that customers are satisfied with.
By ensuring your staff know the latest techniques and how to use new technology, you’ll find that projects get completed quickly and to a high standard.

Beat the competition
How do you make sure clients choose your business over others? The best way is to offer a great service and finished product. If you do this for every project you complete, you’ll build up a portfolio of top-notch work and fantastic reviews on your website and online profiles.
You can achieve this by ensuring every member of your team is trained to the highest standard. The more your employees have learned and the more opportunity they’ve had to develop their skills, the easier they’ll find it to keep producing great work.

Boost morale and motivation
It goes without saying that employees who are happy and motivated will want to work hard to get great results. Training is an ideal way to improve the wellbeing of staff – they’ll feel valued and encouraged to advance their skills. A motivated team will work together to achieve stress-free projects and a quality result.

Retain staff
It’s expensive and time-consuming to advertise for new positions and hire staff, so it makes sense to invest in keeping the people you already have. Hold on to your valued team by offering career progression in the form of training. If your employees know they’re learning and developing in their role, they’ll be more inclined to stay and grow with your firm.
Houzz’s International People Services lead, Ana Harris-Padley, says, “Helping your staff grow and develop will make them feel valued and lead to longer-term retention, which means you can spend less time hiring and more time growing the team you’ve already spent so much time finding. If you don’t help develop them, they’ll find someone else who will.”

Free up your time
Want to build a team you can trust to get on with projects unsupervised? Or maybe you’d like to have more time to take a holiday, or concentrate on other aspects of the business?
Having a skilled team around you will not only improve the performance of your company, it’ll also save you having to be on top of them every minute. By offering your employees regular training, you’ll be able to delegate work and free up time to direct your resources towards growing the business.
