Continuous training to reinforce motivation

The lifelong learning is a workers' right, but it is also one of the ways for the company to strengthen the motivation of your staff; The motivation that will lead to an increase of their professional productivity. Want to know why? We tell you in detail in today's article.

Why does continuous training improve motivation?

The lifelong learning is necessary in any professional sector for a very simple reason: we live in a world in which the advanced and technological society, a society in which there is hardly any job left in which you don't have to use digital devices, advanced machinery or more or less complex computer systems.

This company has opened a deep generation gap between workers of different ages (the famous technology gap), something that negatively influences the professional motivation of older workers And whose influence can be minimised by continuous training. Why? Let's see...

Unlike the majority of employees in the European Union, the famous generation Y or millennial (born from the second half of the 1980s onwards) the workers senior do not have the basic skills to adapt naturally to technological change.

These valuable middle-aged men and women They have neither the basic digital training that younger people have had nor the Internet access facilities that seem so normal to younger employees. The employees senior who are not proficient in new technologies feel awkward and out of place, a negative feeling that negatively influence their motivation to learn and, of course, on their personal productivity and its profitability for the company.

In this sense, lifelong learning is the perfect solution to eliminate these negative feelings, that personal and professional unhappiness which, let us not forget, has a negative impact on the productivity and profitability of every member of the company.  

How does it do it?

• Continuous training provides basic technological skills necessary to operate all types of digital devices.
• The various training actions focused on improving technological skills improve self-esteem of the employees senior and, thus, their sense of happiness staff.

What are the other business benefits of lifelong learning?

We have already seen that continuous training increases productivity of our middle-aged employees and also of younger professionals in need of professional stability. What other advantages for the company to provide continuous training actions to its staff? Some of them are as interesting as the following:

• The employee who receives continuous training from his company understands that the organisation he belongs to bet on him or her, who needs him to improve his skills because he expects to count on his professionalism in the future. We are talking about that famous professional stability so necessary in the delicate times our economy is going through, a stability that relieves the employee and allows him/her to make personal and family plans for the present and the future.
• The majority of employees who can freely make different specialisation courses are obliged to reciprocate in some way with the company that pays for this training. This strengthens the employee-employer emotional ties that have such a strong influence on well-being at work, on positive work environment and, of course, the overall profitability of the company as a whole.
