Employee Development Makes a Difference to Your Bottom Line

No matter what type of organization you manage, there are two fundamental reasons that necessitate training in most organizations. The first is training to react to change in the marketplace, which is inevitable. The second reason for employee training is the proactive preparation of your employees to enable your organization to lead change in the marketplace. Whether your organization is to react or lead, the development of your employees is fundamental if your organization is to thrive.

The Business & Community Institute at Lansing Community College specializes in helping corporations, government, academia, non-profits, and small business operators manage change. Our cadre of recognized experts is available to help your organization grow through the development of your employees and business practices. We employ experts in manufacturing, quality, communication, and a wide array of technical areas who are focused on helping organizations grow and improve.

To support the delivery of training and other performance enhancement solutions, the BCI draws on highly experienced instructional developers, performance improvement specialists, technicians and support personnel to customize highly successful programs to your organization. The BCI works as a cohesive team to provide training and other services that will be:

  • Focused to meet your unique needs.
  • Hands on, to provide an opportunity for your staff to learn and use the newly developed skills (technical, quality, and/or interpersonal) which are necessary to keep your organization productive and competitive.
  • Collaborative, to teach the importance of listening and respecting the ideas and concerns of others in the workplace, and the gains that can be made by working together effectively.
  • Linked, to apply skills immediately to job related, team-based projects designed to add value, reduce cost, improve safety, and increase product quality and reliability.


The BCI Boasts Decades of Customer Success and Satisfaction:

Customers who have selected the BCI as their performance solutions partner over the years tell us that our training programs do two simple things that are very important:

  • We teach employees how to work together better as a team and how to DO
    THINGS RIGHT!
  • We emphasize the need to support training by DOING THE RIGHT THINGS before, during, and after the classes are delivered.

Our success supporting your business need is based in our customized development process. This includes taking the time to meet with key staff members in your organization to identify the organizational culture, current employee knowledge, and clarification of desired outcomes. We prefer to work with your organization to design solutions that will affect the desired change rather than delivering a standard training package.

I encourage you to contact me or one of our Account Executives to learn how we can help you and your organization thrive in the ever-changing marketplace.
