What is Corporate Training?
Corporate training in the Philippines aims to accelerate the growth of employees of organizations through various aspects of personal and professional development.
Corporate training involves two types of training: soft skills and hard skills.
Hard skills are easy to understand. These are technical skills one needs to perform in a specific job task. These include computer software knowledge, graphic design, data analysis, project management, and marketing.
On the other hand, soft skill is a combination of abilities related to people and social situations rather than technical domains. These include relationship-building, leadership, customer service, problem-solving, and communication.
Both these skills can help employees of organizations achieve optimal work performance, boost morale, achieve tangible results, and propel their businesses further.
Why Corporate Training Matters To The Modern Business?
In recent years, corporate jobs have skyrocketed thanks to the booming outsourcing industry and foreign investors continually believing in the Filipino workforce.
While many professionals here in the Philippines are technically savvy and ready for leadership at first glance, we can’t deny that there is room for improvement in soft and hard skills.
These skills require corporate training programs to help an individual achieve peak performance and grow in his sphere of influence. Whether to achieve his individual goal or the organization’s goal, a professional must continually improve in both hard skills and soft skills, as this impacts not only the company they are working for but also the community they are involved with.
Company executives and human resource department provide their employees with such platforms for learning to enhance their work performance. Consequently, as they perform well, they see an increase in their compensation. A win-win for employees and the organization.
Where’s the ROI? It is the most common question from HR people and executives. The answer to this is simple: employees’ individual productivity affects their work performance and the overall bottom-line results of the organization.
Bottom-line results include sales, revenue, and profit – these won’t increase incrementally without the high productivity of their employees. That’s the reason why managers and executives refer to corporate training in the Philippines as one of the most significant investments in a company’s operations.
For human resource objectives, doing corporate training allows employees to gain the necessary primary and advanced skills they need to perform the task – this gives them opportunities internally to advance in their career ladder within the organization.
That said, the cost to hire outside professionals to work in the company will be reduced, as well as those unseen costs such as culture costs and additional training associated with a lack of understanding about the company.

Rainmaker’s Approach to Corporate Training
Rainmakers Training and Consultancy, takes an ethical and comprehensive approach to corporate training. While many service providers try to simplify corporate training to justify what they charge, we go the opposite route.
We show you a simplified process for getting results from our corporate training programs.
Training Needs Analysis
We identify your most-pressing needs and challenges inside the organization. While we can’t get all the details we need in one sitting, it would be helpful enough for us to understand your goals and objectives for the training program.
Each training program is designed to fulfill a specific need and address particular challenges of your people, including top leaders and executives.
Through training needs analysis, we better customize our approach to the activities we conduct during the program and the theories and principles we share to help you achieve results.
We can schedule an online or physical meeting with your HR personnel (or your team) to better analyze your training needs.
Designing The Program
Once we collect details about your training needs and objectives, we design a corporate program that fits your goals and audience. It would take us 1 to 3 days to finish the training design.
This program design includes the program’s objectives, intended audience, and the course outline for you to see the main points discussed in the seminar or workshop. This way, you can suggest anything that hasn’t been included or an activity you want to change to serve your audience.
Training design includes the same framework we use for companies and non-profit organizations. This framework is the exact step-by-step process that we teach to an intended audience, intending to help them learn and acquire a skill at the end of the corporate training program.
Preparation For The Corporate Training
There are many facets involved in conducting corporate training. We do it systematically based on the given training needs analysis. This includes checking the venue for the seminar, workshop, or training.
We might also ask a few more questions about your audience to understand better who’ll be our participants and what they want or need from the training. This would help us develop strategies to make the corporate training truly engaging and memorable for your audience.
Also, as part of the preparation, we check technical details, such as our slide presentations, to ensure the proper visual cues for your audience. It helps them better learn from the topic and makes it easy for us to facilitate the entire program.
Post-Training Analysis
The program isn’t over once the audience leaves the venue. After a few more days, we will try to help you see improvements and results based on the feedback of your participants and our observations.
You may also have your feedback as a group that we can match to ours to develop better data to analyze. From this, we’ll know if the audience can learn and practice principles and knowledge shared by our corporate trainer.
