Competency-based business communications training
Many training programs do not have clear objectives, goals, or strategies. Companies end up wasting employees’ time and company budget on misaligned training. Competency-based training solves this challenge.
Competency-based training starts by understanding what competencies managers and executives need to be successful. The Tantalus Group has helped billion-dollar global organizations create competency frameworks. These are guides that help companies develop key skills and abilities within their team. We tailor these frameworks to align with company goals and objectives.
Based on these frameworks and our real-world experience, we have created several training programs to improve competencies in core areas of communications. Each program has objectives, applicable content, and key outcomes. Managers will see an improvement in efficiency and performance after an employee has been through our training. Employees will be better equipped to take on the challenges of a modern-day communications professional.
We tie learning to real scenarios and real situations within the company. All workshops include takeaways such as skills, strategy documents, sample methodologies, and feedback. Our training has also shown improvements in employee happiness and retention.
