Training is one of the best investments you can make in your workforce – but only if it delivers long-term results. At Turas Nua, we combine people and technology to design training that builds skills, confidence, and opportunity.


Whether you’re hiring through social recruitment or developing your existing team, these 5 tips will help you get the most from your training programmes.

2. Prioritise Disability, Equality and Inclusion Awareness


Inclusive workplaces perform better and attract stronger talent. Consider training that raises awareness of disability, equality, and inclusion, helping teams better support colleagues and clients from diverse backgrounds. DEI-focused programmes strengthen your social recruitment impact while enhancing your company’s culture and meeting legislative requirements. Check out this new Disability, Equality and Inclusion course with FRS Training.

3. Leverage People and Technology for Better Learning


The most effective training combines expert human guidance with the right tech tools. Online modules, virtual coaching, and AI-driven learning platforms can make training more accessible and flexible. At Turas Nua, we integrate people and technology to ensure learning is engaging and impactful.

4. Support Continuous Learning, Not One-Off Sessions


Skills develop over time – follow up with refresher courses, micro-learning, and mentoring opportunities. Ongoing training builds confidence, improves retention, and ensures knowledge translates into workplace improvements.

5. Measure Results and Gather Feedback


Assess the impact of training on performance, productivity, and employee satisfaction. Collect feedback from participants and managers to refine future sessions. Data-driven insights help you make informed decisions on where to invest next.

Conclusion:


Training is a powerful way to strengthen your team, enhance social recruitment outcomes, and build a workplace where everyone can thrive. With the right balance of people and technology, inclusivity, and ongoing support, your training investment will deliver measurable results for both your employees and your organisation.


Inclusive hiring builds stronger teams and healthier communities. By embracing inclusive practices, your business can lead with purpose and create lasting change.
