Why a lack of solid office productivity skill training can hurt an organization
In the highly technological business environment that companies compete in today, employees that lack the ability to effectively utilize the computerized business applications cannot keep up with the demands made upon them. Business presentations, group internal meetings, corporate planning sessions and operational status meetings are expected to include up the minute data and present the information in a variety of formats. Some of the common problems facing corporations are mentioned below:
- Today customer sales and marketing multimedia presentations also include compelling sights and sounds that require a working knowledge of MS Office, Adobe Applications, Excel, PowerPoint and sometimes even streaming data feeds as well.
Sales and Marketing professionals now need to learn or refresh their skills with regard to various office management suites and software programs so, they can be effective when critical business opportunities appear or the competition may deliver a better presentation and win the business opportunity.
- Database management, spreadsheet manipulation, conducting research, correspondence and many other core business functions are routine for office workers around the world.
If an organization’s office staff fails to support the business with the timely information the business internally or externally could be perceived as having inability to meet the needs of the client and perhaps miss an important opportunity.
- Failure to comply with any of the myriads of documentation and reporting requirements related regulatory requirements for independent third parties, state, federal, and other industry governing agencies correctly and in a timely manner, may also cause your corporation to incur regulatory fines.
An employee with well-trained office productivity skills can manage a large number of diverse duties in your organization, any employee that has not received training on using the office management tools available in your company’s business software suite will find themselves frustrated and under a great deal of stress.
Employee skill levels vary within an organization. However, consistent employee performance is needed to meet your organization’s administrative, design and development, sales and marketing, operations, shipping and distribution, customer service, quality assurance and regulatory needs.
If your employees are not well trained on office productivity skills this can raise or extend your business operating costs based upon unintended data entry errors, rework, lost business, processing delays and unexpected employee turnover as your employees’ struggle with work effectiveness and efficiency problems pursuant to no formal office productivity skill training process.
