The pursuit of self-improvement is an ambition that should be nurtured and encouraged at every stage of life. This is especially true in the workplace. Professional development is a mutually beneficial action that rewards both the employer and the employee. By improving their knowledge and competency employees can work smarter, faster and more productively.
The modern workforce's appetite for professional development is, according to the latest studies, increasing at a significant rate.
"Survey results show that right now, on average, employers dedicate 2.7 hours per week to professional development; millennials would like to see this increase to 4.5 hours per week.”
So, what role can technology play in improving workers' access to training opportunities, and what can be done to bridge the gap between current attitudes towards workplace development and those being propagated by the next generation of workers?
At Tahdah we believe the answer to a multifaceted question is a multifaceted solution. Our software delivers a broad range of features and functionality that ensures that organisations are properly equipped to start delivering the workforce development opportunities that their employees demand.
For the employer
Tahdah is an online platform that connects individuals, instructors and awarding bodies in one easy-to-use environment, thereby, providing organisations with the ability to manage all of their employees’ training and professional development requirements.

CIMSPA
To further demonstrate our commitment to creating the ultimate professional development system we have recently announced our strategic partnership with The Chartered Institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity or CIMSPA.
Launched in 2011, CIMSPA is the professional development body for the UK’s sport and physical activity sector.
The Institute holds two long-term strategic priorities:
- To provide opportunities for young leaders to develop and succeed.
- To provide leadership on the development and management of career pathways.
After a period of consultation, CIMSPA selected Tahdah as their official delivery method to help them achieve their strategic objectives.
We are working closely with CIMSPA as they design and implement new, internationally-recognised training opportunities for sports and leisure professionals wishing to advance their careers.
CIMSPA-accredited training courses and workshops that give professionals the opportunity to gain prestigious industry qualifications will be managed through the Tahdah system. Tahdah will become the primary destination for sports & leisure professionals who want to advance in their careers or keep up-to-date with their CPD requirements.
As more and more of these professionals seek out CIMSPA accreditation, the standards of the entire industry will improve and become more consistent.
Our new strategic partnership with CIMSPA is another milestone on our journey to become the home of verified training and professional development.
