Employee training is essential to the overall health of Higher Education institutions. And in some cases, training is a requirement of state law or for licensing. SIMMONS AND SIMMONS GROUP offers core training courses as well as customized content.
 
When employees are properly trained, they work more effectively and efficiently. They have a better understanding of institutional procedures and practices. This, in turn, enhances their workplace performance. .
 
Regular employee training also reduces turnover by offering new skills, a strengthened sense of confidence, and more opportunities for advancement within the institution. This often results in an increase in job satisfaction. retention, and loyalty.
 
Trainers at SIMMONS AND SIMMONS are certified and experienced in developing and delivering training to Higher Education staff, faculty, leadership, and board members.
