Successful Staff Training

1. Self-Learning of the Boss

   Many local and overseas institutes are offering distance-learning courses in Hong Kong. If the boss could act as a role model in pursuing self-study and taking up training programmes, this will definitely be beneficial to building a "learning culture" among the staff.

2. Open to Learn

   Modern corporate management calls for "knowledge-oriented employees" and "a learning organization." Such concepts advocate mainly that a company should utilize existing resources to cultivate a spirit of mutual learning.

3. Look for External Support

   There are many professional associations in Hong Kong offering training programmes. The management may screen these courses and then recommend the suitable ones to staff members. For those companies with limited resources, this is the best way to improve staff training.

   Examples are:

   The Hong Kong Institute of Human Resources Management (HKIHRM)	Tel: 2881 5113
   The Hong Kong Management Association (HKMA)	Tel: 2526 6516

4. Studying on the Net

   The Internet is a huge resource for training. If the company can provide access to the web, the employees may search for learning materials at any time.

5. Consultancy Service

   There are many management consultancy and training consultancy agencies in Hong Kong offering training services for companies of any size.
