Most people today have a basic understanding of Microsoft applications, but very few utilize these programs to their maximum level of efficiency and effectiveness. Employees who have acquired a mastery of the Office suite through top level training can work significantly faster and with fewer errors than those with only basic knowledge learned through trial and error.
BoostsOn Dot Com (a member of PEOPLElogy Group) has launched their new branch in Mid Valley after receiving an overwhelming response from the corporate organizations in Kuala Lumpur. Allen Lee, the CEO of BoostsOn Dot Com says that “Microsoft Office training is one of the most effective ways for any computer centred company to considerably improve productivity”.

But how Microsoft Office training improves productivity?
Training is about much more than just simple shortcuts. Office is a highly interactive set of tools that users can customize to help them improve how they do their specific job functions. For example, an employee who uses Microsoft Word to type our mailing labels can reduce their processing time by as much as 80% by gaining mastery of the mail merge feature through a professional training course.
Just about using Office on a daily basis is likely to discover at least one or two ways to drastically cut time and improved functionality after taking a training course. But perhaps the greater impact of Microsoft Office training is the combined saving of an entire office shaving small amounts of time off of many small tasks like email processing. On an average, employees receive 42 emails a day, so learning to archive mail, create mailing distribution lists, and create rules can significantly improve the
efficiency of an entire office.

To get an idea about how many your employees know about the potential of Microsoft Office, try giving a survey to your employees asking them to list the functionalities of programs like Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel.

Generally it’s not that employees don’t want to learn new ways to interact with the tools they use every say, but they aren’t aware of the capabilities built into the Microsoft Office suite of products. Because many businesses don’t require any type of Microsoft Office training, the majority of people are working with only a fraction of any application’s functionality. Whether your employees are using Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook or OneNote, there is a Microsoft Office training course to shed light on new ways of performing old and time consuming tasks.

A Classroom for a New Learning Style
Statistically speaking, classroom training is still the most effective way to transfer information, especially for more technical topics. At BoostsOn, they implement a U shape classroom that has been proven to be more effective from other classrooms settings. With this type of face to face training, students have the ability to interact with each other, ask questions, request that information to be explained in a different way, and see the instructor walk through the practice examples in real time. Some Microsoft Office training facilities even offer customized training programs for employers with more specific needs.
According to a study by Microsoft, employees rated themselves as unproductive for about 17 hours during any given work for various reasons including ineffective meetings, unclear priorities, and software issue. With two complete days lost per employee per week due to inefficiency, there is a lot of room for improvement. The easiest way for any company to improve their bottom line is to improve their current processes otherwise; growth only brings an exponential increase in wasted time and money.
Microsoft training is one of the most effective choices any business can make toward increasing efficiency in the workplace.
BoostsOn is currently offering unlimited trainings for all corporates and also individuals at only RM 499. For more information, please call 03-2287 1829 or email info@boostson.com.
