The Ultimate Guide To Member Training
The Ultimate Guide To Member Training
Non-profit associations
Non-profit associations can cover a range of causes, but will
generally be organized and operated for a collective, public or
social benefit, like charitable, religious and church, private
foundations and political organizations. These associations will
focus on quality, skills and compliance training. These courses
will cover helping others, how to maintain a certain standard of
quality, ensuring members have the skills necessary for their
roles, and adhere to specific regulations and legal requirements.
Member engagement
It’s essential to keep your members engaged and active within
your organization and training programs will do this. By offering
training that matters to your members, you’ll keep them as
actives participants, leading to higher retention rates.
Increased membership and revenue
generation
Training events, workshops, and certification programs can be a
significant source of revenue for associations. On top of that,
offering learning courses can be a serious driver to attracting
potential members, leading to an increase in the membership
fees you collect.
Cost
Developing and delivering high-quality learning can be expensive,
especially for smaller associations or nonprofits with limited
budgets. Finding cost-effective ways to provide effective training
can be a significant challenge.
Associations can easily scale up their training efforts without
incurring significant costs. Replacing traditional classroom-based
training with online learning, delivered through an LMS, can
significantly reduce costs related to materials, travel, and
facilities. This cost savings can be redirected into improving the
overall member experience.
Tracking and Evaluation
Monitoring members’ progress and assessing the effectiveness of
online learning programs doesn’t have to be complex. You’ll need
to implement tools and processes that facilitate tracking and
evaluation, so you know what’s working well and where to make
improvements.
With the right LMS, you can arm your organization with the data
you need to track and measure your learner’s training
performance, and critically, tie your learning insights back to your
association’s impact.
Strategies for delivering effective
member training
Overall, effective member training requires a person-centric
approach, clear learning objectives, engaging content, and an
appropriate delivery method. By investing in training your
members, you can improve member satisfaction, reduce training
costs, and ensure your members have the correct knowledge and
training.
