    Description

    R.O.Y.O trainers are responsible for design, delivery and continuous improvement of training programs; conduct needs assessment, execute training, develop reinforcements and evaluate. R.O.Y.O trainers also handle the important task of developing and implementing different programs that train an organization’s employees, giving them the skills they need to succeed in their jobs. This serves two overall purposes.

    For volunteer employees, it makes them feel valued by their company. It also gives them the skills to do their job at a high level, which in turn leads to better engagement in their work. They also get a better sense of how their work fits into the overall operation and gives them a better chance of advancing in the organization.

    For volunteer employers, highly skilled workers are more productive. They also are more satisfied with their jobs, leading to a better quality of work product. Further, they are more likely to retain good employees – a key component in the success for R.O.Y.O .

    While putting these focuses to work, we ask that our trainers have fun doing it!
