As a leader in health and social care, we are sure that your day probably goes into managing things that your staff team should theoretically be able to handle on their own.  

Perhaps you find yourself re-writing poorly completed care logs or stepping into handle incidents that escalated too quickly or were not dealt with correctly. When a team is struggling, your response may be to increase supervision or micromanage them more closely. However, most of the time, the issue is that staff just don’t feel confident in what they are doing.  

If individuals are thrown into complex care situations without proper or poor training, they become stressed, they make mistakes and eventually, they quit. To build a staff team that can run smoothly on its own, you have to look at how they are being trained.

  

Why Standard “Tick Box” Training Doesn’t Work 

Most organisations have a training plan full of green ticks, with everyone being 100% compliant on paper but not always in person. Often, making someone watch a generic 20-minute video doesn’t actually teach them how to work confidently and efficiently in a work environment.  

When training becomes a box ticking exercise, it causes issues such as: 

• Handling Incidents 

• Staff Turnover 

• Manager Burnout 

 

Training That Fits Around Rotas 

Training should be about providing individuals with usable skills. This is what Halo Staffing focuses on, we provide flexible options designed around the reality of running a care service while meeting requirements. We offer: 

• In-Person Training: For hands on skills, we provide in person training at a location of your choosing. Where our trainer comes prepared for specialised, interactive training. 

• eLearning Training: For mandatory knowledge, we offer online modules starting from £4.99!  

• Portable Badges: When your staff team completes a course, they will earn a digital badge via Badgr. This proves they did the work and allows them to carry that qualification with them. 

When you invest in training that actually sticks, you aren’t just doing a favour for your staff team, you are making your own job easier.
