Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my organization need SkillsGym?
Alright, let's dive into this – SkillsGym isn’t your average training program or a dusty corner of the internet where e-learning courses gather digital dust. It’s where the magic happens for real skill development. We’re talking about a solid list of 40 skills. That's a big deal. These skills? They're the ones your organization needs to not just get by but actually stand out and excel.
Now, you might be asking, "Do we really need all 40 skills?" In today's world, where every edge counts, skipping out on any of them might mean missing out on that leap from good to great. And here’s the real game changer with SkillsGym – it's all about making sure these skills stick. It’s not just about watching a video or ticking off a course. It’s about real-life application, building habits, and making sure your team is not just hearing about how to do things but actually doing them.
So, if you’re looking for a way to make sure your training efforts pay off, SkillsGym is it. It’s where your team learns and then does. Because what’s the point of learning if it doesn’t lead to doing something better? Ready to see the difference for yourself? SkillsGym is waiting.
What if my organization already has a training offer or an e-learning platform?
First off, it's crucial to understand that SkillsGym isn’t just another e-learning platform or a standard training program. Think of it more as a revolution in learning – a comprehensive approach to achieving real, measurable skills mastery, designed to scale with your team’s growth and to foster lasting habit change.
Now, you might be wondering, "What if we’ve already got training and e-learning in place?" That’s a great start, but let’s get down to the real question: Are your employees consistently demonstrating top-notch soft skills and effective habits that drive success? If there’s even a hint of hesitation in your answer, that’s where SkillsGym steps in.
Consider SkillsGym the boost your existing training efforts need. It’s not about replacing what you have but enriching it, ensuring that every penny you’ve invested in employee development truly pays off. SkillsGym acts as the catalyst, turning potential into performance.
So, view SkillsGym as that essential addition – the small but powerful investment that amplifies your existing resources and ensures they deliver maximum impact.
What sets SkillsGym apart from other skill development programs?
SkillsGym focuses on the combination of habit-building and effective conversations to create lasting skill improvement. We believe real change happens in real life; when skills are integrated into daily workflows.
How do you tailor your training formats to meet the unique needs of different clients?
We offer 8 different training formats to ensure flexibility and customization. This allows us to adapt our programs to match the culture, goals, and specific requirements of our clients.
But in some cases, on-demand is more effective. When learning is best organized as bite-sized learning over time, when teams are distributed across different locations or timezones, when schedules are limited or budgets are tight, nothing beats on-demand webinars for ease of access, scalability, and efficiency of learning.
But in some cases, on-demand is more effective. When learning is best organized as bite-sized learning over time, when teams are distributed across different locations or timezones, when schedules are limited or budgets are tight, nothing beats on-demand webinars for ease of access, scalability, and efficiency of learning.
Why these skills?
SkillsGym offers a comprehensive suite of 50 skills, catering to a wide array of organizational needs. Essential skills such as emotional intelligence, operational time management, and communication are universally beneficial for all employees. Meanwhile, specialized skills like situational leadership for leaders or strategic time management for knowledge workers address more specific requirements. Our holistic approach ensures that every aspect of your organization's skill needs is covered. We challenge you to identify even a single skill from our extensive list that your organization can afford to overlook.
Isn't 40 skills too much?
At SkillsGym, while we don't expect every individual to master all 40 skills, we do believe in the necessity of these skills across your organization. Our unique method emphasizes focus and efficiency. We start with sub-skills, carefully selected for their leverage in accelerating growth across multiple areas. This strategic approach means that improving one sub-skill can enhance proficiency in several core skills simultaneously.
Take "asking the right questions" as an example. This pivotal sub-skill doesn't just benefit one area; it elevates your capabilities in leadership, conflict management, effective meetings, meaningful conversations, coaching, and more. By focusing on such transformative sub-skills, our method ensures broader skill development with targeted efforts, making your organization more adept and agile in a fast-changing business environment.
Can you explain the importance of habits in skill development?
Habits are crucial because they automate actions and behaviors. By building effective habits, skills become second nature, making them more likely to be applied consistently in real-life situations.
Are on-demand webinars interactive and engaging?
Engagement is kept high. Polls, exercises, live chat, and real interactions make each experience responsive and unique to the participants of each session. We would say that you get 95% of the benefits of a live webinar in terms of content, interaction, conversations, measurable satisfaction and impact, but at a fraction of the cost, and with all the benefits of scalability and just-in-time learning.
What kind of results can clients expect from SkillsGym training?
When you bring SkillsGym into your organization, you're not just signing up for another training session; you're setting the stage for real change. Our clients often report not just noticeable but significant improvements across the board. We're talking about enhanced performance and retention, increased productivity and engagement levels, smoother communication, and a positively impacted bottom line. And how do we get there? By focusing on practical skills that lead to tangible outcomes.
But here's the clincher – we don't just claim to make a difference; we measure it. Every step of the way, we're checking in on the Habit Promoter Score (HPS). Think of it as the NPS (Net Promoter Score) but for habits. It's our way of ensuring that the skills and habits we're promoting are genuinely taking root and making a difference in your organization.
So, what kind of results can you expect with SkillsGym? Real, measurable progress that goes beyond the usual metrics. It's about transforming how your team works and interacts, with effects that ripple out to every corner of your organization.
Do we need you to deliver training programs, or are they self-lead?
At SkillsGym, our mission is to empower individuals to take charge of their learning journeys, fostering a culture of autonomy and self-improvement. We understand that the path to personal and professional growth is unique for everyone, and our programs are designed with this flexibility in mind. Ask us about our proven formats for:
