FAQs

How do I assess whether my organisation actually needs formal skills development training?

Most organisations assume their teams are “fine” until performance issues become visible by then, the skills gap is already costing money. The real question is not “Do we need training?” but “Where is undertraining silently eroding value?”

Key warning signs include:
  • inconsistent delivery across teams
  • repeat errors or slow onboarding
  • managers who can’t articulate specific capability gaps
  • compliance obligations piling up with no clear training plan
  • “training clutter”: many workshops, no measurable improvement

If any of these sound familiar, you’re not dealing with a skills shortage, you’re dealing with a capability strategy gap.Okiru can run a structured Skills Development Health Check that quantifies the gaps, identifies high-impact interventions, and shows exactly where training will deliver ROI.

What is the difference between ad-hoc staff training and a structured organisational training strategy?

Ad-hoc training feels productive but usually solves nothing.
It’s reactive, unmeasured, and driven by availability rather than organisational need.

A true training strategy:

  • aligns to business goals and compliance needs

  • builds capability pathways for different roles

  • tracks learner progression and competency

  • integrates SETA, EE, WSP/ATR and B-BBEE requirements

  • delivers predictable results, not guesswork

If you’re sending staff to random courses with no annual plan, no skills matrix, and no measurement framework, you are not “training” — you are spending.

Okiru designs end-to-end training strategies that turn learning into measurable organisational capability.

How can corporate training support my company’s B-BBEE, EE, and Skills Development compliance requirements?

Many organisations treat compliance as box-ticking, then act surprised when verification falls apart.
Skills development is one of the highest-yield scorecard elements, but only when done intentionally.

Training affects:

  • B-BBEE Skills Development points

  • EAP-aligned Employment Equity targets

  • SETA grant recoveries and discretionary funding

  • WSP/ATR submissions

  • youth development and internship pathways

  • enterprise and supplier development through bursaries and learnership pipelines

The mistake many companies make is assuming “any training will count.”
It won’t.
Misalignment leads to wasted budgets and lost points.

Okiru specialises in compliance-aligned training design, ensuring every rand spent translates into measurable compliance and business value.

What types of workplace training deliver the fastest ROI for South African organisations?

ROI isn’t about the course — it’s about the friction it removes.

Interventions with the fastest return typically include:

  • digital literacy and productivity training

  • customer-facing behavioural training

  • compliance and risk management training

  • management capability training for new and accidental managers

  • role-specific technical upskilling for revenue-critical teams

The reality is many organisations overinvest in technical courses but underinvest in core capability bottlenecks like poor communication, slow workflows, or compliance errors.

Okiru helps identify high-leverage training that produces measurable operational gains, not just attendance certificates.

How do I choose a credible training partner who can deliver measurable results?

Most training providers sell content, not outcomes.
A credible partner should be able to answer three questions clearly:

  1. What business problem does this training solve?

  2. How will we measure behaviour change or competency?

  3. How will training integrate into our broader compliance and capability goals?

If a provider cannot show the methodology behind their learning approach — or can’t connect training to compliance requirements — they’re not a partner; they’re a supplier.

Okiru operates as a strategic capability partner, not a course catalogue.
We design, implement, measure, and report — end to end.

What internal systems or processes must be in place before launching a company-wide training programme?

Many training rollouts fail because organisations assume training starts with choosing a provider.
It actually starts with readiness.

Minimum requirements include:

  • a clear skills matrix

  • a skills development plan aligned to business priorities

  • learner data collection and tracking

  • SETA/WSP/ATR alignment

  • manager accountability for post-training reinforcement

  • a budget mapped to compliance objectives and capability gaps

If you don’t have these in place, you will not get measurable results — and you will almost certainly waste budget.

Okiru builds the full training readiness framework, ensuring your organisation launches training that actually lands.
