Course Overview

When problems arise at work, many people often panic and can feel apprehensive about approaching the problem or end up passing the issue on to someone else to solve. The ability to creatively problem-solve can make employees see problems as opportunities to harness and challenges to conquer.

When your team has a problem-solving culture, it fosters ideas and solutions which extend beyond the problem and encourages innovation. Other benefits include better teamwork, trust, increased workplace engagement, increased job satisfaction and productivity.

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.
