Education makes a person , but what use of education if it is not put to use. To make that “put to use” one needs to know “how”. Training is a means to achieve the knowhow of HOW!! Today I want to throw light on top 10 reasons why technical, regulatory trainings are best when outsourced to external organizations rather than handled internally
10. Training Tools – Organizations whose core operations involve training, invest in tools that are real worthy and useful. They train their trainers in the technical stuff as well as in training and evaluation methodologies. After all a tool cannot replace a human being.
9. You are good at your “ Core Business” – Any pharma company would consider, training a necessity. Content development, learning systems, management and course delivery are strengths of a dedicated training organization. It is the training organization’s “ Core Business” as much as you excel at your core competencies the training organizer to excel in their core area.
8. Making learning real & relevant - If your training methodologies, content and structure, delivery mechanisms and processes ought to be real. A lot of case studies, live cases at your site, can be a source of learning.
7. Authentication Requirement – Training helps you successfully navigate through regulatory requirements. Quite often it is necessary to produce training certificates and in some cases essential to prove that you and your team were trained by a trained or certified trainer. When an external training organization does this for you, they will issue certificates backed by experienced trainers, who know what training in all about.
6. Imagine the resources – If you were to plan on handling training ONLY with internal resources, imagine the number of trainers, the levels of knowledge and the time consumed. Training is an intermittent activity that needs FULL dedication for a short period of time. Running the TTT( Train The Trainer) sessions for a select few from your organization can empower some folks to handle training at short notice.
5. Leverage High Level Relationships – Every company has some extra time that can be used to share good practices. It may be a good idea to source the delivery of your training to these people. Sourcing training through partners who can ensure that the best in the business are identified for continued training of your work force, is where a legacy continuity of learning is established.
4. Speed – Getting ready for an audit, for production or for validation or installation may be dependent on getting your team trained right away. Using an external training partner will allow you to get you up and running at a great speed.
3. Wherever – If you have plants in 3 different places in the country and want a uniform, training operation across different sites, then an external partner will ensure that this happens. Internal resources at each of these 3 places will increase the burden on cost and will hamper the consistency of training.
2. Knowledge - No single pharma company has all the knowledge they need internally to be able to train their personnel in every domain. An external partner will either have most of the knowledge or leverage their own resources to ensure that a comprehensive training package is delivered at your site.
1. Cost - The primary reason why companies must outsource training is to save money. It is always about the cost savings and bottomline. In the long run it will be a cost-saver for your company and aid in preventative techniques than in adopting to therapy when diagnosed with chronic illness.
The mantra here stays true. Prevention is better than cure !
