The
outdoor training and development program provides a neutral environment to
test theories and develop skills.
·
Advantages of an experiential learning program:
·
Improved job performance
Outdoor experiential learning enables employees to raise their level of
performance, and as a result, output increases and quality improves.
·
Greater awareness of responsibilities
Properly motivated employees require less supervision, which saves the time
of the supervisors.
·
The right attitudes are forested
Because employees are exposed to similar inputs in training, they all tend
to become more loyal and committed to the organisation. Something in common.
·
Benefits to the employees themselves
Employees who show greater potential (self confidence, leadership, task
oriented), increase their earning capacity. This increases their job
security and creates opportunities for promotion and more responsible jobs.
·
Increased customer satisfaction
Because training makes employees more effective, improved products and
services can be provided.
·
Teambuilding bonds employees
Individuals are moulded into a cohesive group. Activities are structured to
develop inter-personal reliance i.e. group goals rather than individual
goals.
Incentive driven
Delegates learn how to complete the task to the required standard, they
become familiar with safety measures and learn how to avoid wastage of
materials.
