corporate training
A corporate trainer is a specialized skill development position in a corporation where the goal is to help improve the "soft skills" or "people skills" of the workers in the corporation. The term is generic and could be applied to nearly any skill whether technical, physical or otherwise, but is most often used to refer to soft skills like getting along with others, effective communication, motivation, leadership, management, etc. Also, the role is not solely reserved for corporations, other organizations such as non profit groups can make use of a corporate trainer's services.
An effective corporation or other organization functions as a system and lack of the skills above and others including team building, effective negotiation and strength of character can keep the organization from functioning as an effective system, and thus keep the organization and its members from reaching their goals. An effective corporate trainer can remove these impediments and be very valuable to the organization.
In order to effectively support the team, corporate trainers must be engaged with the business of the business they are supporting. In other words, trainers should not operate in a bubble - removed from the realities facing their clients.
In practice, many corporate trainers come into an organization from the outside, may never gain a grasp of what the organization is all about and their advice may be disregarded by members who resist change or distrust the trainer as an outsider. The trainers own personal faults may keep them from building the trust that they can have a significant positive impact.
When the training department and human resources are recognized by the CEO as being fully engaged business partners, they have more opportunities to share their ideas and influence the organization at a much higher level.
The corporate trainer role rose in the conscience of most people in the US after Richard Hatch, a corporate trainer by trade, won the Survivor reality television competition. Other corporate trainers include Simon Davie from Sliding Doors Australasia, who launched the world's first Finish at Four campaign designed to increase awareness of the risks of overwork and workplace stress by encouraging workers to finish at 4pm on October 12 2007.
