The report by Blue Rocket Business Systems lists the top 10 mistakes businesses make with staff training and team development.
Among the top 10 include: one shot training, seeking the cheapest training, no follow-up training and running the training session onsite.
According to John Blake from Blue Rocket, the team runs over 300 learning events for companies each year and sees the "dumb" things that can go wrong if training sessions are not planned properly.
Blake said their goal is to help companies make a more informed decision on how to train teams to get the best possible outcome.
He referred to a recent survey from recruitment firm Talent2, which found 30% of workers changed jobs because their employer had not provided training.
The survey also found 90% of respondents relished the chance to develop their skills and saw it as fundamental to their career development.
"Thinking that training is unnecessary is likely to cost you serious money long term, not just in your staff leaving but in client churn, loss of productivity and lost sales from lack of skills within your team," Blake said.
The report also lists the indicators of a well performing team. You know when your team is performing better if:
# You find you are relaxed and have no pressure on your work;
# You earn the respect from the manager, chief executive, board members and colleagues;
# You are able to introduce a variety of different measures to grow your team; and
# You feel a sense of achievement.
