Every year, organisations spend thousands on workplace training. Yet employees often walk away without applying what they learn in the workplace. Why? Because training without clear purpose or quality design simply doesn’t stick.
At LearningWorks, we’ve seen what works. and what doesn’t, in real workplaces. Here’s what makes the difference between wasted time and genuine results.
Training Without Real-World Relevance
If training feels disconnected from daily work, learners disengage. The fix? Practical, work-based programmes that reflect real scenarios and challenges.
Trainers Without Support
Many employees are asked to ‘train the newbies’ without ever being trained themselves. That’s where programmes like the NZ Certificate in Adult & Tertiary Teaching (Level 4) come in.
Our programe turns natural trainers into confident facilitators with the theory and tools needed to succeed.
Leadership Without Skills
Newly promoted leaders often juggle tasks and people without guidance. Programmes like Introduction to Team Leadership (Level 3) and First Line Management (Level 4) give them practical strategies: delegation, handling difficult conversations, building morale and conquering confidence.
One-Size-Fits-All Delivery
A single workshop won’t suit everyone. Modern training blends classroom sessions + eLearning + on-the-job practice for long-term impact.
Ignoring the Human Side
Training isn’t just about skills. It’s about confidence, morale and culture. Great programmes rebuild trust, inspire growth and support career pathways.
Workplace training doesn’t have to fail. With the right mix of practical content, skilled facilitation, and structured support, staff grow — and organisations thrive.
