At Sigma 6 Works we work with you to target your needs. Identify the specific skills you need to improve and the time frame within which you'd like to meet your training goals to provide the optimal payback. We help clarify your goals. Ensure that employees know the specific purposes for their training and how they connect to larger company goals. We help you track the results. A training program won't be effective unless you monitor its progress. By choosing a suitable measurement we help to determine the return on investment for the training and establish concrete results. Employees who are competent and on top of a changing market place help your company hold a position as a leader or a strong competitor within the industry. Improved employee satisfaction and morale – the investment in training that a company makes shows employees that they are valued. Employees who feel appreciated and challenged through training opportunities feel more satisfaction toward their jobs. All Sigma 6 Works training is very participative and interactive .We don’t do role plays -we are not playing at it -we do reality plays -we get as near to real business life situations as is possible.
