Corporate Training Budget EOFY
Do you have training budget left coming into the End of Financial Year (EOFY) that you need to use or lose?
Corporates, Councils and Government Departments often have set professional development coaching and training budgets each year. Unlike small businesses, these amounts don’t simply rollover to be used next year. In fact, often it’s a case of if you don’t use it, you lose it – not just for the year you’re leaving, but for coming years too! This is why many team leaders like to utilise any remaining EOFY Budget before the opportunity it can create disappears forever!
Do not spend EOFY budget just for the sake of it!
Especially in a tough economic environment it’s not the time to be frivolous with your spending! However, if the reason you have executive coaching, professional development or training budget available is because you were too busy fighting fires, being reactive or just getting things done, then don’t let the opportunity go to waste. If you had good intentions, but didn’t quite get them to happen – you’ve got a last chance to get it organised now! Or maybe the reasons you left the budget could be addressed through coaching or training.
But we don’t have time left before EOFY to set-up a coaching or training program for our team?!
The good news is for most this isn’t an issue. Many corporates, Government Departments and Councils operate on an accrual accounting system. Therefore a tax invoice only needs to be issued by the supplier and entered into your ‘system’ for the expenditure to be recorded in the current financial year. Even in cash accounting, or to take advantage of End of Financial Year (EOFY) sales, you may need to also pay in the current financial year. However, please check with your internal policies and accounting or internal finance team if it is okay to prepay for services such as a training not yet delivered. You may even be able to get a sneaky session delivered prior to EOFY if you really need to!
Let us help you decide what coaching and corporate training may work best for your team based on the challenges or opportunities you have
Please let us know what your needs are, and ideally jump on a free 15 minute Click and Clarity session, and we can agree your needs, and what methods may be best to achieve them. This will enable a high level proposal to be turned around quickly. We can adjust as needed to get to Tax Invoice stage, and then any finer details can be agreed closer to delivery (especially if that won’t be until the next quarter).
Our corporate training budget isn’t big or we want some quick wins before doing more training and development later
No problem at all! We can offer pre-recorded training sessions that we can also offer to others, or create a quick live webinar for your team. The higher the budget the more we can offer tailoring, exclusively designed content for your organisation, facilitated sessions, extended access, access to more than the initial group of participants, one on one Executive Coaching and live on-site or off-site solutions.
What corporate training and executive coaching can we assist with?
At FAQ Business (FAQ Business Training and FAQ Business Consulting), we can offer a combination of training, coaching, consulting and facilitation to address your organisation’s needs, or address development or performance options for your team. Please note Executive Coaching is typically offered to star employees as a reward and to make them even better, rather than focusing on weak performers (though we can if needed).
– DISC and HBDI® Profiles, debriefs and team training (refer below)
– leadership training and development (including do-er specialist to strategic leader, and new leaders)
– soft skills AKA human skills training like communication, negotiation, goal setting, decision making and productivity
– Executive Coaching (typically as a reward not performance management)
– group training
– strategy and facilitation of strategy sessions
– AI adoption and team buy-in (mindset via coaching, plus practical tips and skills)
DISC, Whole Brain® Thinking and HBDI® profiles
In addition to executive coaching and team training, our Founder and Chief Training Officer Jane Tweedy, is DISC accredited and a Herrmann Certified Practitioner (Whole Brain® Thinking and HBDI® Profiles). Although we can offer DISC which is a popular behavioural profiling tool in the corporate world, we prefer to offer HBDI® Profiles, as we are very much of the view what you believe leads to what you think, impacting how you feel, and then how you act. Therefore the behaviour comes last.
If you can think differently about a scenario, you can feel and act differently in the same situation. For instance, why does one person get angry when someone cuts them off in traffic, while someone else just shrugs and forgets about it? The driver who cut you off, probably doesn’t think twice about the event, so why do you need to? If it won’t help you to be angry, why be angry? This we can explore through Thought Monitoring.
Did you know certain thinking types will tend to be on time, every time, whereas others will rarely be on time? By understanding how you think, you can make changes to the way you think, how you feel and what you do! Therefore identifying your thinking patterns, and the consequences and benefits that come with that thinking, and the thinking of others can help you and your team across all areas of work and life!
Sample areas we can assist with
We can tailor to your needs. These are simply some examples.
Effective communication
Learn how to communicate with others to win them over (in a good way). When you know how you think, and how others do, the communication process becomes a lot more manageable!
Can include practical sessions with role playing.
Always running late?
You may be surprised, but thinking preferences play a huge part into whether you’re ‘naturally’ on time or late. You can learn to curb nature, once you understand why you do it! This can apply to many other ‘traits’ as well.
More thoughtful strategy and planning
Some people love to plan, and others fly by the seat of their pants. Yet most of us recognise a failure to plan can be a plan to fail. Learn how to plan for a better outcome!
We can facilitate strategy days with your team.
Make more sales
When you talk in someone’s language you can find sales are so much easier to make. Give them what they need to hear, not what you want to say to suit you.
Another example of specialist skills training includes AI adoption.
