Training & Development
Training & Development
A crucial factor in determining whether individual golf tourism businesses have a future is ensuring that all directors, managers and staff of the business are trained to an appropriate standard. A commitment to professional development, should not simply bring the employee up to date with current practice, but instead ensure they are ahead of others in the marketplace.
Businesses may wish to start the process off by identifying all skills/knowledge deficiencies within their organisation via:
- the outcomes of staff appraisals
- staff/managers volunteering for training
- a comprehensive skills audit
Critically, the training and professional development required should take account of both the immediate and medium term needs of the business, in effect by thinking through the full implications of tomorrow's objectives and all related external factors e.g. legislation.
Golf Tourism Scotland has established web links to several organisations, which offer training for those operating in the golf tourism business environment, and will continue to source others in the future. Use these links to find out which one(s) might offer your golf business the best solution.
