TRAINING AND EDUCATION
e-Learning for some or all of their training requirements and see the greatest benefits of using e-Learning as being cost-effective, more convenient and the useability for staff to complete it on any device at any time so they have some control of their own learning.
Of those that use e-Learning, 77.8% of the surveyed professionals use it for health and safety training courses, subjects which include DSE training, Fire Awareness and Food Safety for example. 45.9% use it for Business Compliance training, including GDPR and Cyber Security and 43.6% use e-Learning for HR Compliance - which includes Equality & Diversity and Mental Health and Wellbeing training courses. A further 21.5% use e-Learning for soſt skills such as computer skills and leadership, along with 5.4% for other training requirements.
In the current climate, e-Learning is particularly valuable to businesses, especially as face-to-face training has not been possible. The popularity of e-Learning is set to continue and grow even further as the future workplace evolves.
What is clear is that, whatever industry you work in, employee mental health and wellbeing is a key concern.
Lottie Galvin, Studio Manager & Staff Mental Health First Aider at iHASCO, said: “Over the last few years, employers have definitely been focusing more on their employees' mental health and now it's at the top of the agenda, due to the pandemic.
“All organisations have employees struggling with poor mental health and many of those may be suffering in silence. I'm not surprised that the survey has found mental health and wellbeing to be a top concern for employers in 2021, but the focus is in the right place.”
THE CARE INDUSTRY AND COVID-19
Care home owners and managers, as well as their employees, are facing incredibly tough times as a result of the ongoing pandemic. The pressures faced on a daily basis may have a detrimental effect on a person’s mental health. Their ability to switch off and recharge between being at work or home has become limited, in a bid to rally round and provide the ongoing care the vulnerable and elderly require and deserve. As a result, many in the sector are at breaking point, but their dedication, as well as the need to put food on the table, keeps them going. This survey has shown that employers are fully aware of the need to support their workforce with their mental health and wellbeing. The issue is how to achieve this and provide the resources and tools that can offer some support, and start the conversations around mental health. iHASCO offers an instant free trial of any of their online training courses, of which their Mental Health and Wellbeing courses may be of particular interest.
