Corporate Training

Training for stackholders

In responding to the current economic Corporate Training downturn and the public backlash against Corporate Training meetings and incentives for companies that accepted. With all the recent media scrutiny, companies now worry how their events will be perceived by the public and Corporate Training stakeholders. But top CEOs and CLOs agree: public perception cannot be the main driver.

." When done right, a Corporate Training event is capable of inspiring people to work harder, smarter and more productively. Along with the right mix of compensation, benefits, training, and recognition, in-person meetings are a critical component in the development of engaged employees. These events help to increase employee satisfaction and, in many cases, prove to be a more effective form of compensation than bonuses. While engagement may seem like an intangible benefit to some, research indicates that when employees feel an emotional connection to their work, they're more productive and are more likely to stay with the company – which has positive impact on overall profitability.

Enhance Performance

Understanding how an event can help your bottom line, especially in tough economic times, should be high on your list of meeting considerations. Nothing replaces the opportunity to meet face to face, especially for key functions like skill and career development training.

Fuel Growth & Productivity

In addition to enhancing individual employee Corporate Training performance, meetings and other Corporate Training events contribute to the healthy functioning of your organization. These sessions facilitate an exchange of ideas, foster innovative thinking, and promote a collaborative atmosphere that lasts long after the event has passed.

When focused around a specific objective, such as training, learning or culture building, meetings are powerful tools for stimulating business growth and enhancing productivity. In fact, a 2009 survey released by the American Gaming Association (AGA) reveals that 87% of Americans who’ve attended an out-of-town meeting or convention for work say it is important to running a strong business.

According to Tom Donohue, president and CEO of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, “Meetings and events are essential to motivating sales forces, rewarding high performers, and attracting top talent.” The impact of a well-designed event doesn’t stop when everyone walks out the door – it carries over into the day-to-day functioning of an organization, shaping its culture and motivating performance.

Stimulate the Economy

Not only are Corporate Training meetings and events essential to the health of individual businesses, they’re essential to the nation’s overall economic health. “Meetings and events are responsible for 15% of all travel in America, create more than $100 billion in spending annually, generate millions of American jobs, and provide $40 billion in tax revenue,” adds Donohue.

In fact, the U.S. Travel Association has partnered with industry leaders to promote and protect meetings, Corporate Training events and incentive travel in the U.S. and to spread the word that meetings are an important part of the country’s economic recovery. The U.S. Travel Association’s website, KeepAmericaMeeting.org, explains: “When businesses cancel productive meetings and events, the American worker and local communities from coast-to-coast are the unintended victims.”
