OVERVIEW

Do you know what sets staff development apart from training? Let's explore this important conundrum. Today, we'll look at the importance of staff development and how it differs from staff training. While training focuses on acquiring specific job-related skills, staff development is a long-term process that involves enhancing an employee's overall growth and career potential.

To illustrate this concept, we'll take a look at CommTech Inc, a tech company with a staff development program called The Development Mindset Scheme. CommTech invests heavily in its staff, offering Lunch and Learn sessions, cross-departmental collaboration, and a variety of online courses. By prioritising staff development, CommTech is able to cultivate an engaged and motivated workforce, which contributes to the company's long-term success.

By the end of this video, you'll have a clear understanding of the benefits of staff development, including how it can improve employee retention, productivity, and job satisfaction. Let's dive in and explore the differences between staff development and training, and how a focus on staff development can lead to a stronger, more successful business.
