Corporate training is often a competitive advantage for an organization as it enhances collaborative learning among employees, stimulates interest, increases employee engagement &productivity levels, and helps drive innovation. Given the long term benefits of corporate training, organizations are now realizing the need to build a culture of continuous learning that enables employees to develop deeper and richer skills in their chosen professions. To allay the growing need of enterprises in terms of developing effective learning programs, Work Better Training & Development (WBTD) was started by an enterprising couple who wanted to make a difference in the world of learning & development. Founded in 2008, the company employs a unique, holistic, 360-degree approach to corporate training. It conducts pre-training diagnostics and in-class training sessions followed by post-training engagement tools to facilitate individual development.Headquartered in Mumbai, WBTD was founded by Swapnil Kamat, Founder, CEO & Chief Trainer and Ruchira Karnik, Co-founder & Head of Business Development. Having been a part of a lot of executive training programs during their respective stints at L’oreal and Elle Decor, the duo was well aware that traditional training methodologies were not only boring but also outdated, mostly ineffective and obsolete. “We found that there was a huge disconnect between what was taught in the classroom and what was happening on the ground. The theoretical concepts passed on during such trainings were dull, trite and mostly one-way lectures with barely any interaction between the trainer and participants”, says Swapnil. Understanding the fact that effective training is the key to professional development and career progress, the duo started by providing training consulting services to corporates. By training on varioustopics on behavior and soft skills, WBTD ensures that the participants have fun, find solutions, explore possibilities, think and learn from each other.
Well Rounded Roster of Services
WBTD provides practical and implementable solutions in its corporate training programs. Armed with expert facilitators, a proven 360-degree approach, and customized solutions, the company engages itself from the early stage. It conducts requirement analysis and develops programs that best suit the training requirements of the client. Pre-and-Post training engagement is the company’s prime service and remains a key differentiator. Additionally, the in-class training sessions provided by the company are unlike the usual classroom lectures with slide shows. Rather, they actively engage participants with their unique delivery methods which include individual and group activities, role plays, and more.
The pre-training engagements such as field visits, assessments and surveys, diagnostic meetings and audits provide the company with an in-depth picture of the client’s requirements. In the process, the WBTD team works closely with a client’s L&D team, business heads, and line managers to develop highly customized content so as to fulfill a clients’ organizational goals.
