Training for people, who need people who understand people

Think back to your school days. Remember the teachers who made a difference, the ones that in some way still have influence on your life today. Chances are they were the ones who brought more than just the curriculum to the chalkboard. They provided experience and treated you with respect. They didn’t talk down to you, they engaged with you in a way you could understand. That experience made lessons come to life and those lessons still may resonate with you today.

There is no substitute for experience

Only those with real life experience are allowed to facilitate DST peoples training and development programs. There are no juniors learning on the job. Our management experts work with modules they have had a hand in developing. Those modules are built on decades of real world experience working directly with people. What DST people do is not theoretical.

It is practical and it achieves real, measureable and long-term change because our people have decades of experience getting the best out of people.

…and the winner is?

Almost all of those who participated in our courses have found our training inspiring and noticed a marked improvement in the way they work. Want to hear more? Click here to see what our clients and course participants have to say about us.

Complimentary training & development review

Many organisations fail to realise the full potential of their people, simply because they don’t continue to develop that potential. Similarly, an organisation’s culture can be poisoned by poor communication, leading to misunderstanding, resentment, poor behaviour and less-than-stellar performance. It is rare that individuals alone are to blame for these failings. The right training & development can transform an organisation and its people. Our staff are not naturally equipped with the skills to cope with the variety of personality types found in business. We are often surprised when people fail to work well together. This can be costly. The right training can make a big difference and help your people learn to communicate and work together much more effectively.

Why do organisations fail to invest in training & development?

According to Jim Collins in his book “Good to Great” great companies invest significantly in their key people. So why don’t all organisations invest in their greatest assets outside technical training? They may see training such as effective communication, team development and managing conflict as a low priority, but this view is counter-intuitive.

Why pay so much for your people, then not equip them with the skills to make them as effective as possible.

Consider that an investment of 5% of a team member’s salary in training could yield an increase in productivity of 30% and you begin to understand the value of ongoing training & development.

Complimentary training & development review by DST people

Organisations without a history of team development training quickly become evangelists once they experience first hand the transformation effect it has on its people and productivity.

We have discovered that the most difficult part of this process is understanding where to start. So DST people is now helping organisations with a complimentary training & development review consultation.

We’re making the process easy to start. Meet with us to discuss your people challenges and we will advise you on how to develop the culture you’re looking for.
