There are a number of situations in which a workshop would be the best choice: 1  The beginning of something new. 2  The initial training of staff or volunteers. 3  The in-service or ongoing training of staff or volunteers.  Staff 1  development. The demonstration of a new concept.  The explanation of something to the public.
For instance, employees with fewer than two years of tenure received an average of 65 hours of training; workers with more than two years but fewer than five years at the establishment received an average of 24 hours, and those with 5-10 years of tenure received 47 hours. (See table 6.) Full- or part-time.
While they spent less per learner, companies provided more hours of training this year. On average, employees received 53.8 hours of training per year, 13 hours more than last year. Midsize companies provided the most hours of training this year at 67.4. Government/military organizations had the highest average number of hours overall (82.3). Companies continued to devote the bulk of their training expenditures to training non-exempt employees (39 percent, down from 40 percent in 2014). Training for exempt nonmanagers increased from 26 percent to 29 percent in 2015.
