Brands and businesses that have a long term vision, with exclusive training programs have proven overtime to maintain a certain standard of professionalism, uniformity and longevity over time.
Let’s take the example of multinational technology company – Google, that has several training centers across the world that recruit and train employees. Food franchises benefit from such programs to allow the food chains across nations to maintain a uniform image, standard of service and even taste of food. McDonald’s has the Hamburger University with several branches worldwide, which trains and develops individuals’ skills and knowledge in restaurant operation procedures; quality, service, cleanliness and value. The Kentucky Fried Chicken – KFC is well known for its unique taste of chicken and hand cut fries. You can be sure that you’ll receive the same good food at any of their branches worldwide. Closer home, The Nairobi Women’s Hospital has The Nairobi Women’s Hospital College as do other hospitals such as Aga Khan Hospital (The Aga Khan University) and The Nairobi Hospital which even has frequent internal exams guided by the culture and brand the institution seeks to portray.
We have the first Moving Academy in Kenya; the Nellions Academy; unique place where moving skills are imparted on fresh, selected people using a documented curriculum. By the time the movers are certified, they will have acquired more 70 skills necessary to enable them to deliver true value to clients while upholding the name of the Moving Industry.
The advantage of training academies include :
- Communicating and immersing the brand’s culture to the team
- Establishing a uniqueness and uniformity across board
- Aligning employees to their unique personal strengths
- Encouraging employees to be part of the company’s vision
- Increased efficiency in processes and overall financial gain
- Increased innovation, testing and implementation of new ideas
- The advantage of setting trends in the industry.
The Academy is the knowledge hub of our company and therefore is used for continuous training for all employees. At Nellions everyone is a mover and therefore going through the academy is a way of life. The broader purpose of the academy is to create true life champions and for this reason, the academy’s training goes beyond just moving so that even when one leaves the moving industry he/she will have been more empowered. Rest assured as we continue to expand, that the service you receive is one that you can happily brag about to your circle of friends and family.
