Organizations face the constant need to recruit and retain skilled workers, and in the past years, this has become a growing challenge. In fact, estimates show that it can quickly reach an 85-million-person shortage by 2030 (Kornferry.)

As a result, employee training and development opportunities have become increasingly important for businesses looking to stay competitive in the marketplace. While sourcing and retaining top talent can be difficult, investing in an employee development program that delivers relevant technical training opportunities can bridge the gap and unlock the workforce's potential.

In this guide, we're going to look at various things, including how developing employees, simplifying the learning process, and investing in employee growth can help businesses increase productivity, boost growth, and even improve the bottom line.

We're also going to look at the role of screens, especially digital signage, within the context of professional development opportunities.

But we'll begin by talking about what employee training and development programs are, and why they are important.

What are employee development opportunities?

Employee development opportunities are structured learning initiatives designed to improve employees’ knowledge. The overall goal is to help employees acquire new skills, improve existing ones, and become better at their jobs.

These opportunities vary from company to company but usually involve planned training programs and developmental activities that contribute to a team's overall growth.

The initiatives may focus on customer service training, soft skills development, certifications and advanced degrees, or technical training. These employee development opportunities enable individuals to:

Remain the top performers in the job market

Why are employee training programs so important?

Employee training and development efforts are so important for both workers in an organization, and the company as a whole. Even though they often require significant investment to get off the ground ($1,252 per employee, according to the Association for Talent Development) the payoff is massive.

Recognizing the significance of these programs can help leaders make informed decisions and develop strategies that optimize the potential of their workforce.

These are the key reasons why businesses need an employee training program:

Growth is a critical part of a business’ lifecycle; experts even suggest that it should be priority one for startups (FasterCapital.)  Structured learning and development programs help organizations equip their employees with the necessary knowledge, skills, and tools to adapt to changing market conditions. This means the company can grow rapidly and adapt quickly, as its workforce is on top of current trends. 

Increased employee engagement and retention

When organizations provide learning opportunities, they show employees how much their growth is valued. This focus on employee investment can lead to increased engagement.

And we’ve seen that engaged employees are more likely to remain with the company, demonstrate higher levels of productivity, and contribute to a positive work culture (source).

Training initiatives allow employees to acquire new skills and refine existing ones, which leads to improved productivity and overall performance.

The programs also let employees explore and discover more efficient ways to deliver value to the company, do their job better and beat out the competition. These are always good for an organization. 

Employee training programs are very important for organizations looking to grow without buckling under their own weight. They help to develop future leaders within the organization by giving leadership training, bringing them up to speed on management-level practices, and empowering them to make the kinds of decisions necessary to lead teams. 

By identifying high-potential employees and providing them with relevant leadership training, organizations can ensure smooth succession planning and maintain continuity in key positions.

Another reason for companies to train employees is that it helps attract skilled professionals seeking personal and professional growth. Businesses that invest in their employee development gain a competitive edge by attracting the best talent in the industry, something that’s very hard to do without impeccable company PR.

Meeting compliance and industry standards

Some industries have specific regulations and compliance requirements, and organizations in these spaces are doubly incentivized to offer training and development to their employees.. These programs will ensure that employees understand and adhere to established guidelines, reducing legal risks while maintaining industry standards.

An employee training program can also help minimize the skills gap within organizations. Businesses often expect big things from their employees, and when employees are unable to deliver, it can stall the company’s progress, growth, and profitability. 

Training development programs ensure that teams can keep up with the business’ expectations, essentially making the workforce as competent as they need to be.

Employees in companies with a robust training and development program also have higher job satisfaction (source) and it’s not hard to see why. Employee training shows that the organization is committed to the growth and development of its employees, making workers feel valued and supported in their professional growth.

4 employee development program guidelines

It’s critical to properly plan and execute employee training programs for several reasons. Arguably one of the biggest is that you want your program to actually help employees upskill. Organizations spend over $1000 per employee trained, and it would be a massive waste if that amounted to no real improvement.

As a result, it’s important to get the training and development initiatives right from the get-go. In this section, we’ll discuss some guiding principles that can help.

Identify training needs and set clear objectives

To conduct comprehensive and effective training, it’s important to pinpoint the gaps and areas of improvement within the organization. Do employees need mentorship from more experienced team members? Or will they benefit more from e-learning courses? Defining clear objectives will help align training programs to address these needs effectively.

Design engaging and relevant training programs

While creating training programs, it’s also important to use diverse methods to keep them engaging and easy to follow. These could include: 

Blending different learning approaches can also help cater to the unique learning styles and preferences of participants.

Encourage continuous learning and knowledge sharing

It’s also important to promote a culture of continuous learning by providing opportunities for ongoing professional development. This means encouraging employees to share their acquired knowledge and skills with their peers, fostering collaboration and growth across the organization. Mentorship programs are a great way to do this.

Leadership assessments can help measure participants' strengths, evaluate their skills, and identify areas of improvement. Perhaps participants didn’t quite understand a portion of the training program and a different approach is necessary.

It’s also a good idea to use a 360-degree feedback system for a comprehensive view of the program.

Top 10 employee development opportunities

Now, let’s get into all the wonderful opportunities companies have in the field of employee training and development. As the professional landscape evolves, new employee development opportunities are continuing to emerge, and the best programs incorporate new opportunities with tried and true learning programs. 

Here are some development opportunities that companies can explore in 2024 and beyond.

1. Online courses and e-learning platforms

Your organization can leverage the power of technology to provide access to e-learning platforms and curated online courses. The beauty of these platforms is that they are readily accessible anywhere and employees can learn at their own pace.

One effective strategy is pairing experienced employees with junior team members to foster professional growth through mentorship. Your organization can also provide coaching programs focused on skill development and leadership enhancement.

The benefit of this is that it is usually done as a form of on-the-job training, which can help with teaching employees anything from safety training to leadership skills, even if they are learning something entirely different.

Businesses can provide financial support to their employees to pursue degrees and certifications related to their jobs. With the average masters' degree costing upward of $59,000 (source), this opportunity is particularly helpful for employees who are passionate about taking their careers to the next level. Subsidized degrees offer professional development and help employees acquire the necessary skills and knowledge to perform their jobs effectively.

4. Leadership development and management training

We’ve already discussed the importance of leadership and management training in an organization. However, how the program is structured is also critical because it could potentially mean the future of the organization. 

Here are some steps to consider when setting up a leadership development program:

Promote accessibility to current leadership

5. Professional certifications and qualifications

Professional certifications, like degrees, can help employees advance in their fields, enhancing both their knowledge and skill, and overall ability to contribute to organizational growth.

6. Participation in industry conferences and workshops

Employers should encourage individuals and teams to attend industry conferences and workshops for a wide range of reasons. From networking to gaining industry insights and staying up to date on current events, these events can be just as valuable training and development vehicles. Plus, they can be easier to set up and promote, compared to other initiatives on this list.

Communication, adaptability and teamwork are three of the most important soft skills to possess in any workplace (Indeed.) Including employee training and development programs that focus on these can enhance overall effectiveness and professionalism in the workplace, and ensure that things get done. 

Here are some other important soft skills to focus on:

One of the best development methods for soft skills is on the job training. Using digital displays at work, such as digital signage, can be incredibly useful for an on the job training session or offering useful learning resources on the fly.

8. Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) training

Embracing diversity, equity, and inclusion by providing DEI training programs is very critical in today’s workplace because 76% of employees and job seekers consider diversity when weighing job offers (LinkedIn), and companies with diverse teams report greater innovation revenue (BCG).

DEI initiatives promote an inclusive work environment and cultivate cultural sensitivity and awareness among employees. Plus, statistically speaking, it can lead to better organizational performance.

Cross functional training can be far more effective than instructor-led training, especially when the goal is to develop employees' ability to collaborate. A simple way to implement cross functional training is to have employees increasingly be trained across different departments and functions.

The end point is simple: to enhance their understanding of the business and expose them to different aspects of the organization. If done right, cross functional training can lead to improved problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills.

Supporting employee well-being by offering health and wellness programs can be helpful for employees who work in demanding and high-performance roles. Even though it’s not strictly training and development, it can be equally, if not more, effective at boosting overall performance and showing employees how much the organization values them.

Staff training and development have become an important part of business strategy. Find out how to plan and manage employee learning with digital signage.

Did you know that there are about 55 million meetings held weekly in the US. If you were to put money on it, how many do you think “could have been an email”?

If you’d wager that around 71% of those meetings are considered unproductive, you’d be right. In hard-cash terms, that amounts to a jaw-dropping loss of $37 billion annually - according to 2022 meeting stats.

That’s chunks of money and time just thrown into the water.

Meetings have thus notably become serial-productivity-killers as they’ve been completely missing their objectives to collaborate, solve problems, and ultimately getting work done. 

It raises one important question. How (or perhaps, ‘if’) companies are efficiently managing meeting schedules to ensure employees' time is used relevantly,  to give them the best possible chance of keeping uninterrupted focus on productive tasks, while receiving more valuable communications.

Implementing effective and streamlined communication methods in the workplace - such as workplace digital signage and industrial display screens - can help scale back meetings, free up email inboxes and give teams back focus-time - all by seamlessly broadcasting targeted messaging to desked or deskless teams.

Think of workplace digital signage as a single, centralized communication hub that connects companies and company narratives to employees - all while it increases productivity, encourages participation and boosts autonomy among employees. 

Employee productivity is the grease of a company’s well-oiled machine.

So, when 65% of employees confirm that meetings prevent them from completing their work, it’s probable that sooner or later your workforce’s wellbeing and morale will start falling apart.

There’s a lot more that goes into a meeting than simply attending: there’s pre-meeting prep, note-taking, post-meeting prep and actioning key items with subsequent updates - more like adding to employees’ plates, rather than offloading. 

Companies must therefore adopt an empathetic approach towards employees’ workloads and wellbeing that avoids the burnout of repetitive meeting-redundancy.

More than that, businesses should also view ruthless meeting-cutbacks as a means of better-incentivising pursuit of KPI achievement and employee ownership and independence.

Optimally planning meetings in efforts to boost employee productivity with digital signage can be done by: 

Displaying the context or purpose of a ‘supposed meeting’ with autonomous action items with employee allocations and deadlines.

Previewing a clear and concise agenda ahead of schedule to ensure employees are well prepared for the meeting.

Presenting employees’ calendars to considerably manage and coordinate meetings within the company.

With a built-in meeting room app, employees can easily schedule meetings with no risk of a room being double-booked.

Live broadcasting of meetings on industrial screens across various sites can reach even the most displaced employees.


Frontline employees don’t share the same luxury of being able to ‘meet quickly’ with their teams or management to talk strategy or improvements around the workplace. 

And while 80% of a company’s opportunity to improve comes from frontline employees, they are reliant on the alternative communication methods to get their ideas across. However, these methods are seldomly made available, leaving employees frustrated and disengaged. 

Supporting the above statement, the 2022 meeting stats indicated that 1/4 of employees feel that their ideas were being ‘stifled’ due to poor communication. And additionally, 12% of employees are less likely to share ideas in the workplace because they don’t have access to the right platforms.

This brings communication and lack of access to collaboration tools to the forefront and as the wedge between companies and employees. 

But, what happens when you give employees access to collaboration tools? 63% of employees become more empowered to share their ideas, leading to increased employee engagement and participation. 

Office digital signage and the numerous integrated apps available encourage employee engagement and participation by allowing them to share content through a company’s preferred communication portal(s). 

More than that, employees feel heard and galvanized to innovate when companies recognize and implement workplace improvement recommendations from their employees, and by showcasing the results to the company. 

Build autonomy and confidence among employees

Scaling back on meetings, and regular impromptu follow-up sessions with employees, can empower them to think on their feet and discover their own personal solution methods.

Creating a sense of autonomy can boost employees’ confidence and morale, while  accelerating professional development.

Employees can be assured that their professional achievements are being noticed when employers celebrate them publicly via their industrial screens around the workplace. 

Say goodbye to meetings that could have been an email, and well, even (some) emails. We know that more than 55% of remote employees will thank you for it.

Get in touch with ScreenCloud’s dedicated team to learn how you can improve your employees’ productivity by reducing meetings in your workplace with digital signage and hardware solutions. 

Surprisingly, workplace digital signage is becoming a secret weapon for scaling back on meetings and winning back productivity. Here’s how.

While meetings in the workplace have become detrimental to employee productivity, poor communication and lack of collaboration tools have also made it difficult for frontline employees to engage and participate in the workplace. Here we’ll explore how a simple method of managing meetings with digital signage can increase productivity, encourage participation, as well as build autonomy among employees.

How Digital Signage Can Help Better Manage Meetings in the Workplace

Industries that rely on a deskless workforce have quite the challenge. On one hand, deskless workers need to be mobile, on-the-move and unchained from a desk-based environment to be the lifeblood of productivity. In industries like emergency services, deskless workers are heroes—literally lifesavers. On the other hand, they also need to be intimately connected into operational narratives to do what they do brilliantly.

What can managers in deskless industries like transportation, logistics, manufacturing and emergency services do to balance all considerations?

“We give our deskless workforce a company cell phone.”

That’s all well and good, but how are you communicating with an entire team at the same time? How distracted or frustrated do teams get when notifications are constantly going off in their pocket, not all of which are relevant?

A cell phone in every pocket just isn’t scalable.

Here we’ll address the top challenges deskless employers face and how workplace digital signage can help remedy them:


Maintaining operational participation and collaboration in a deskless workforce

Deskless workers don’t share the benefit of digital connectedness with office-based colleagues that continually have their heads in Slack, social media and email.

Deskless workers are constantly on the move, dealing often reactively to emerging situations and circumstances.

As such, patchy means for sustaining collaboration and operational coordination can cause operational breakdown. Not ideal when  an estimated 75% of employees consider collaboration and teamwork mission-critical.

Now consider that 80% of the world’s workforce is made up of deskless workers. 

So, how can employers start to better-incentivise continual, efficient collaboration among deskless employees?

Digital signage and industrial display screens throughout deskless work environments is a powerful way of enriching deskless workers with key operational and even company-culture information at the right time—in a way that’s not distracting, redundant or invasive. 

For example…

Company-event reminders

Key operational data

Even performance and KPI analytics


All of these information streams can be custom-carried and responsively adapted into every department or region.



Did you know that supermarkets and quick-service restaurant workers have a 100% turnover each year? These alerting stats prove once again that the retention of employees is an ongoing battle for deskless employers.

Of course, there are a number of factors that drive high labour turnover; some industries are naturally more prone to it than others and certain industries accept high turnover as part of the landscape. 

That said, even the most stubborn and explicable of labour-turnover rates can be mitigated with a smart approach—one that involves incentivizing  employees’ to find, achieve and sustain their full potential.

One such smart approach involves giving employees a sense of individual and collective purpose—and, according to  Deskless Report by Nudge, ‘purpose’ is the #2 driver of engagement for employees.

What does ‘giving employees a sense of purpose’ look like? And what’s the business impact? In simple terms, it looks like this.

Increased engagement + morale boost + increased productivity = 21% increased profit, according to Gallup. 


OK. And how are deskless industries currently driving increased engagement, morale boosts and increased productivity?

For logistics, transportation, healthcare, emergency services and other deskless industries, the answer is a foggy one. For others, there is no answer to that question.

Workplace digital signage and industrial display screens provide the answer  by giving deskless teams a reliable, real-time, accessible and discreet stream of relevant information that fuels their purpose.

The net benefit is a domino effect of focused engagement that fuels morale and productivity. 

Delivering effective new-starter and ongoing training in a deskless wokforce

While desk-based teams also experience productivity down-time for training, more desk-based training resources are being leveraged in office environments. This approach brings self-service training flexibility that deskless teams just can’t access. 

Now, get this: over 60% of Generation X and Millennials indicated that they would collaborate more through visual means - according to 2022 Workplace Collab Stats.

Digital signage and industrial display screens provide exactly that, doubling up as a digital, non-invasive training resource that deskless workers can access, without their own mouse and desk.

Pre-recorded training can be broadcasted for an entire workforce, or custom-channeled into regions, teams and departments.

That way, deskless employees can digest relevant training information on the move, without need for desk interventions and productivity disruptions.

Time to integrate all of your teams into relevant and responsive ops narratives, with industrial display screens? 

With digital signage solutions and industrial display screens, that’s exactly what you can achieve scalably and cost efficiently—all with the help of app integrations and a content curation hub your ops tea control to distribute to deskless employees wherever they are. 

While deskless employers face tons of challenges, employee engagement and satisfaction shouldn’t be a part of that list



You don’t have to face these challenges alone. ScreenCloud’s affordable digital signage solutions can help you centralize your employee communication and engagement, while scaling your workforce’s presence, morale and productivity.

Contact ScreenCloud to arrange a discovery demo and explore the most suitable, flexible workplace digital signage setup custom-molded to your deskless environment and operational performance needs. 

Organizations that operate deskless-workforce environments experience a niche set of challenges vs office-based teams. It may not be the obvious go-to, but workplace digital signage is actually proving a capable fit for closing those employee engagement and operational efficiency gaps.

To boost employee engagement and satisfaction, deskless employers must address the disconnect between themselves and their deskless employees. Here we’ll explore the top 4 pain points for deskless employers and how they can be remedied.

4 Stubborn Deskless-Workforce Pains and How Industrial Display Screens Help Fix Them

Organizations recognize the importance of internal communication, particularly with hard to reach, deskless employees who often feel disconnected from their employer. The latest Gallup research suggest as many as 85% of employees are not engaged in the workplace. When it comes to employee communications, Staffbase is recognized as a global leader in the space, enabling organizations to communicate with employees via email, app and intranet solutions. However, in many work environments, it is critical to have those communications on screen too, perhaps in environments where workers can not access their computer or mobile devices. ScreenCloud enables organizations to maximize the reach of their communications by getting the right messages on screens, where employees can see them at any time. 

The ScreenCloud Staffbase News app has been developed to eliminate the overhead of creating content for both Staffbase and ScreenCloud. Our new app makes it simple to publish Staffbase content to digital screens automatically, and optimize it for digital signage display. The ScreenCloud Staffbase News app allows organizations to:

Automatically display Staffbase News content on digital screens, without the need for employees to opt in

Run Staffbase channels along with other ScreenCloud media, apps, and custom content

Display QR codes to link employees to Staffbase News articles on their mobile device

Deskless workers are the unsung heroes of the modern world. They keep the wheels of most industries turning, including production, manufacturing, labor, delivery, development, healthcare, education, and so on. Despite their invaluable contributions and importance, we still see a consistently high turnover rate and skills gap across industries that employ a deskless workforce. Why is this happening and can engagement methods, like workplace digital signage, make an impact on workforce engagement?

With over 80% of the global workforce consisting of deskless workers who keep essential operations running, businesses need to examine how they can improve their employee satisfaction and drive productivity through better workforce engagement. 

This is, of course, easier said than done. The remote nature of deskless roles means that employees spend large portions of their day in a factory, warehouse, or on the road, disengaged from what’s happening at ground level on the business. 

This makes engagement more challenging. Most companies have no formal communication methods for speaking or relaying important information to employees, relying on more social platforms like WhatsApp to communicate. 

As businesses, we need to ask ourselves: Is this really the best way to communicate with employees? How can we uplift and improve our communication methods to drive better employee engagement at work?

What Are The Benefits of a Fully Engaged Workforce?

If you look up employee engagement online you’ll find over 50 definitions floating around the internet! However, the general academic consensus is that we can define employee engagement as a psychological state experienced by employees that compels them to perform at work. 

Engaged workers tend to demonstrate three essential characteristics:

Research from Gallup has shown that employees who are engaged at their workplace are more productive, which translates into greater benefits for businesses on the front end. Engaged employees act differently compared to disengaged colleagues, consciously aiming to surpass expectations in their efforts at work, giving their business a greater competitive advantage.

Disengaged employees are 60% more likely to make costly mistakes while at work, while companies with higher employee engagement show 21% greater profitability. Keeping employees engaged and motivated over the last 20 months has, however, been tough. 

Thanks to almost two years of an ongoing pandemic and resultant stress and anxiety, global employee engagement levels are at a low of 20%. 

This means that, around the world, 80% of the global workforce feels disengaged while at work, affecting business productivity and profitability. Gallup estimates that lost productivity through low workforce engagement costs the global economy $8.1 trillion each year. 

It’s clear that we need to prioritize improving workforce engagement levels, particularly for deskless workers who generally work long hours and often spend large portions of their workday alone.

Workplace digital signage is essentially signage consisting of multiple screens distributed across a business. These screens provide a highly visible internal communication platform, acting as a singular source of truth where employees can access accurate, up-to-date company information and just-in updates. 

But workplace digital signage can do more than that. When utilized strategically, workplace digital signage can educate, entertain, motivate and inspire employees no matter where they’re located. 

How Can Workplace Digital Signage Power Workforce Engagement?

On their own, screens are nothing special. But they have latent potential that, when harnessed with intention, can amplify messaging and supercharge employee engagement at every level. The visual and auditory capabilities of screens uniquely enable them, as a communication medium, to convey ideas and messages with more impact compared to static, text-based emails and SMSes. 

Here are just a few of the ways workplace digital signage can be harnessed to power better engagement at work 

Improve training methods

A thorough training and onboarding process is crucial to ensure that employees have a solid grasp of their responsibilities and can perform effectively at work without unnecessary supervision. Workplace digital signage can help facilitate training sessions that are more interactive and engaging at a speedier rate, without employees having to be confined to a single physical room to complete their training. 


Streamline communication

Effective communication is a challenge for any company, but especially for companies that employ a deskless workforce. Relying on unofficial messaging channels and platforms runs the risk of employees missing important company communications and messages. 

It also makes it harder for employees to distinguish between work and personal time when they receive company messages on the same platform they use for communicating with family and friends, particularly if automated work messages come in after hours. Workplace digital signage keeps messages within a strictly work environment and ensures employees all have the same access to any company messaging. 


Make employees feel heard 

It’s no secret that deskless workers often feel undervalued and unappreciated by their managers and CEOs, who often don’t have the time to listen to their ideas, frustrations, and concerns. Companies should actively work harder to make their workforce heard within the workplace. Workplace digital signage can help facilitate this by sharing employee feedback, ideas, and suggestions or running employee engagement campaigns.


Develop an ideal workplace culture

The state of a company’s workplace culture can make or break an employee’s experience. Toxic workplace culture has been a driving factor in the great resignation that’s dominated 2020 and 2021. If businesses want to retain their workforce, it’s imperative that they focus their efforts on creating a positive, inclusive company culture. 

Workplace digital signage can assist in building better company culture, by sharing and celebrating employee achievements and team accomplishments, as well as company milestones and victories, all of which reinforce a sense of connection and purpose among a deskless workforce.


As we employ more remote and deskless workers in our organizations, it’s important that we continuously review how we interact with and support employees so they feel sufficiently engaged and productive when performing their roles at work. 

ScreenCloud helps teams in 10,000+ organizations around the world communicate with those who matter most, using the screens on their walls and the content  in their systems. 

ScreenCloud’s digital signage can inform employees on corporate information like social media feeds, data visualizations, emergency alerts, and live broadcasts – or even simply the news, sports and weather.
