Outsourcing - a practical solution
Our experience in training and development has enabled us to source cost-effective solutions for any organisation with training needs. The more onerous your requirements for training, the more attractive our services become, benefiting from economies of scale. This makes us ideal for medium to larger sized organisations with on-going training and development needs.
One of our clients asked the internal member of staff who had the 'job' of booking training to organise a course on Microsoft Project. They were busy that they booked the first supplier that they came across and, because they had no time to devote to negotiating, agreed the fee. It was £1,200 - when we could have arranged the same, with just as good a trainer, for £450!
Our service levels are high and we pay careful attention to the practicalities of outsourcing, not just the concept and financial concerns. Helmsman offer a range of services whereby we take all, or a part, of, this function and manage it for you.
For many organisations, particularly those who are highly regulated keeping up-to-date with training and development, CPD, qualifications etc can be a full time responsibility for someone. Such industries include:
- Financial Services
- Legal
- Accountancy
- Security organisations
