Training Information For Employers

Continuous training and development is essential to keep your employees efficient, successful and compliant. It is important that employers foster growth, allowing employees to utilise training opportunities to enhance their skills and job satisfaction. Lomax offers a range of flexible training solutions, including first aid and health & safety, as well as various levels of sector-specific training. We work closely with you to design and deliver custom training programmes that meet the unique requirements of your industry. Before choosing which training course your employee needs, you must first look at their current qualifications and any skill gaps; this way you can identify what training is required to ensure your employee is compliant and effective.

Taking on an apprentice is a great way to invest in the success of your business, bringing in fresh perspectives, innovative skills, and up-to-date training and knowledge. Apprenticeships are a cost-effective training solution that is beneficial to both the learner and the employer. The learner benefits from a high-quality, work-based learning opportunity while earning a wage, and the employer benefits from a hard-working apprentice with the added bonus incentives and funding. If your payroll is over £3 million, then training is funded through your digital levy account. However, if your payroll is under £3 million, you pay 5% of the training cost, and the government pays the remaining 95%. Employers can also receive an incentive payment of up to £1,000 if the apprentice falls into certain categories. For more information visit our apprenticeship page.

Ensuring your employees are up to date with their qualifications and regulatory compliance is critical, especially in the energy sector, where there is a massive potential for high-risk situations or dangerous tasks. The energy sector can involve high-risk environments or jobs; your responsibility as the employer is to ensure that your staff can strictly follow safety protocols to prevent accidents and provide a quality service that ensures the safety of others. Non-compliance can also result in massive fines, legal action, and potential closure of your business. To maximise the safety of your employees and clients, it is essential that your business stay aware of evolving regulations and updated on the most recent training and qualifications. Lomax helps your business ensure the highest-quality training available, providing your employees with the knowledge and skills to stay safe, compliant and efficient.
