Course Overview

While every employee has a certain role within their team, today’s workplace requires that staff are ready, willing and able to take on a range of tasks to accommodate frequent organisational changes – and still remain productive.

Flexibility is a long-standing trait of highly effective employees and an increasingly necessary aspect of being part of a high-performance team. That’s why it is not only important to be able to take the initiative and assume new tasks and even temporary roles within your team, but also to communicate across various departments, individuals, co-workers, and customers at every level.

How to Make Yourself Indispensable is a course designed to make you an invaluable employee. You will learn the critical skills to adapt and even embrace—often sudden and unexpected situational changes at work. You’ll learn how to thrive under pressure and expand your career opportunities by knowing how to take the initiative, and effectively resolve problems, share your knowledge, and be an overall positive influence at work.

Why Learn Online?

Learning new skills online can be perfect for organisations and employees for the following reasons:

You only have one or a few employees to train and develop (on a specific training topic)
Getting a trainer to your location could be difficult or cost-prohibitive
The employees you want to train work from home or are part-time
You don’t have the resources to cover for the employees you want to be trained, so allowing them to the training online means they won’t need to leave their work areas
Your training budget is limited, and online learning is more cost-effective
You want your people trained in a wide range of skills this year,’s online learning provides much better value to get everyone involved in learning and developing themselves.
