Training your team does not have to mean sending everyone away for a week. Short online courses let staff learn between tasks and use new skills the same day.
Start by listing the skills your business needs most, such as Excel reporting, social media writing or basic website updates. Then match each person to one course.
People learn best when the lesson solves a problem they have at work this week. Thandiwe Mokoena, Head of Learning at LeerlynAsk staff to share one thing they learnt each Friday. It keeps them motivated and shows you what is working.
How to choose the right course for each person
Look at the tasks that fill most of someone’s week. A bookkeeper may need Data Analysis with Excel and Power BI, while a receptionist could gain more from Business English Writing and Speaking. Agree on a finish date and give staff two hours of paid study time each week.
What to expect from your staff
Expect questions in the first two weeks, then steady progress. Ask for a short summary at the end and let them try the new skill on a real task. Our student support team at Leerlyn can send you progress updates if you need them.
