New survey* reveals how COVID-19 has changed business� training priorities. Whilst 79% of businesses report their staff training has impacted by coronavirus, the pandemic hasnt changed things as much as you might think. MRS Training & Rescue surveyed more than 100 businesses to find out what impact the lockdown had had on health and safety training. Read the results below.
What are businesses appetite for training now?
Well the picture looks promising. The survey found that a huge 80% said they are likely to book training in the next 6 months, with 75% of those saying they would be booking the same or more training going forwards.
So what things are businesses now prioritising?
Perhaps unsurprisingly, of those who said they needed different ways to deliver training in the future, online learning programmes was the strong preference (45%). And of those, 75% quoted needing to reduce social contact as the main reason for this.
However, a whopping 87% said there was still a need for face to face training, quoting online not being as effective for the type of training they require and 56% highlighting that practical training and assessments cannot be completed online due to the need to be assessed for competency.
Stuart Hoult, CEO of MRS Training & Rescue said: The results show that businesses still value face to face training but that the market for online training alternatives is growing. Our Live Online Medium Risk Confined Space course is our first venture into this market so we will continue to trial this and look at further online alternatives in the future.
*MRS Training & Rescue conducted a survey of their customers in July 2020. 103 customers completed the survey and full details can be found on the company’s website news page.
