Training in business intelligence
March 9, 2008
When you work in business intelligence, you can see that your people tend to often ask to be trained. Some of you may think that all those training are money spent for nothing. The guy does the job, why should you train him more. Here are some facts about training that might be interesting…
Training is always necessary. Even when things might appear to be working smoothly, even when you think you are on the right track, you have to think that you are not. Learning new things never ever made things worse. When your employees ask you to provide training provide it! You don’t know what revolutionary ideas might arrive in your department after a training. Not to say that always after a training, people feel like changing the world. That plus of interest and enthusiasm is worth every penny.
Show your employee that you care! It is an awful experience for your employee to come to you, to show you that he is interested in what he does, to tell you that he wants to be better and to get nothing in return. Don’t treat that guy like extra costs. Treat him like what he is. A person that is interested in what he does. Think that if you give him a straight no without any explanations you lost him for good. His interest in the job will never be the same. Don’t you ever use the simple NO without explanations.
Try to make the training worth it. There are many companies that offer training. Not all of them are what your people need. There is nothing worse than a bad training. Think about what experience get the people that are going to a bad training: They start enthusiastic, with their expectations high, they end up frustrated. The frustration comes from the fact that they didn’t learned what they wanted, and also from the fact that they consider they lost time and resources on that training. If you have a problem and you can’t do the training, explain your employee that he has a good idea and when the opportunity will come you will surely implement it.
