Growing competition in the global workplace combined with an increasingly complex corporate work environment have made corporate training and employee development programs more important than ever. In fact, between 2017 and 2020, the average number of annual training hours for employees at the largest companies in the U.S. increased from just over 42 hours to more than 102 hours. Even smaller and mid-sized companies averaged nearly 50 hours of annual training per employee.
The challenge though, especially for smaller companies, is in finding the resources to build effective and relevant training courses. According to one recent study, the cost of creating a single one-hour course can be as much as $15,000 and can take as long as 300 hours to create.
The Benefits of Ready-Made Corporate Training Materials
Fortunately, as the demand for corporate training has grown, so too has the availability of technology and resources to support these programs. Some companies now offer ready-made, brandable corporate training materials as a viable option to access the specific content your organization will need for effective employee development.
Some of the benefits associated with using brandable corporate training materials include:
Cost-effective
Ready-made training materials can often be purchased (or licensed) at a fraction of the cost for developing a course.
Consistent Branding
Some of the ready-made corporate training offerings on the market allow you to add your own corporate branding. This is an important consideration for any organization that is serious about its own branding and the materials presented to your employees.
Timely
Working with ready-made corporate training materials eliminates lag time associated with building a course from scratch, which can be a critical factor for urgent or time sensitive training materials.
Expertise
Another challenge for in-house course development is in finding the expertise to create each desired course. Ready-made courses are often authored by Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) for each topic of interest.
Customizable
In addition to branding, some vendors allow their clients to customize their courses to meet the specific training needs of your company.
