Employees form the vast majority of the workforce in any organisation: assistants, administrative staff, project officers, technicians, operators, customer advisors, accountants, HR specialists, support roles. Under this audience, ITTA gathers a training catalogue designed for non-managerial and operational profiles: staff members who do not lead teams but who need to gain confidence with their daily digital tools, autonomy in their organisation, and quality in their working relationships. The scope covers Microsoft 365 office tools, the responsible adoption of consumer AI assistants, and the full range of soft skills that make a difference in modern collaborative work.
This category brings together everyone who contributes to daily output without formal hierarchical responsibility. On the support side, this includes executive assistants, secretaries, front-desk staff, accountants, payroll, operational HR, internal communication officers. On the core-business side, you will find customer advisors, junior project officers, technicians, operators, junior analysts, inside sales representatives, research officers. Among cross-functional profiles, this also covers project managers without direct reports, subject-matter experts, and internal referents. The common denominator stays the same: producing day after day, working with peers and managers, managing time and priorities, communicating clearly in writing and out loud.
Mastering Excel, Word, Outlook, PowerPoint and Teams remains the first lever of productivity for any employee. Excel is essential for structuring data, building pivot tables, automating calculations with advanced formulas, and now driving models through Power Query and Power Pivot. Word produces structured documents, professional reports and reusable templates. Outlook stays the nerve centre for internal and external communication. Teams orchestrates synchronous and asynchronous collaboration, remote meetings and shared workspaces. OneDrive and SharePoint round out the foundation for document management. ITTA offers a comprehensive office catalogue for employees who want to progress on these tools, with sessions in Geneva and Lausanne, on-site or remote.
The massive arrival of conversational assistants and Microsoft 365 Copilot is reshaping how employees work. Writing a meeting minute, summarising a Teams call, preparing a slide deck, analysing an Excel table, translating a document, brainstorming ideas: all these tasks now benefit from an AI copilot. Using these tools well, however, requires learning to write precise prompts, to rephrase when an answer falls short, to check sources, to respect data confidentiality and to understand the limits of generative output. ITTA offers an AI catalogue tailored to consumer use, with short formats to get comfortable with these tools without prior technical background.
Behavioural skills are now considered as important as technical ones. The ITTA employee catalogue covers the following main areas: oral and written communication (active listening, non-violent communication, public speaking, telephone reception, voice and impact), personal effectiveness (time and priority management, stress management, burnout prevention, negotiation, self-confidence, emotional intelligence), creativity and innovation (design thinking, mind-mapping, workplace creativity), and collaboration (agile team dynamics, effective meetings, structured documentation, engagement-driven storytelling). These training courses typically run from one to two days, with role-plays, hands-on exercises and reflective work on professional posture.
The right starting point depends on context and current level. For an employee taking on a new role, we usually begin with an office foundation (intermediate Excel, effective Outlook, collaborative Teams) before adding soft skills targeted at daily pain points (time management for a heavy-load role, communication for many internal and external touchpoints). For an experienced employee aiming to step up, we shift to higher-value skills: advanced Excel and Power BI, impact communication, public speaking, cross-functional leadership, creativity. For an entire team, ITTA can design a collective programme over several months, with in-company sessions in Geneva or Lausanne and follow-up on knowledge retention.
To explore the detailed training offer for employees, several entry points are available in the ITTA catalogue:
Training sessions for employees take place in Geneva and Lausanne, on-site or in synchronous remote mode. Inter-company sessions bring together participants from different organisations, fostering experience sharing and openness to new practices. In-company sessions are tailored to a specific team or department, working on real situations from the organisation. Durations range most often from half a day to three days depending on the depth required. Course materials remain accessible after the training, and follow-up support can be added on selected topics to anchor learnings in everyday professional life.
What is the difference between training for employees and training for managers? Training designed for employees targets operational profiles without hierarchical responsibility: it covers everyday tools (office automation, consumer AI) and individual behavioural skills (communication, time management, stress management, public speaking). Manager training adds team management, delegation, conflict handling and leadership. An employee moving into a manager role gradually shifts from one to the other.
Can an employee follow training on advanced technical tools? Yes, but the catalogue dedicated to employees focuses on cross-cutting skills useful to every function. For more technical topics (advanced Power BI, Power Automate, programming), an employee can pick from the editors dedicated to those technologies. ITTA supports the construction of a learning path based on role, sector and personal goals.
Should one aim for certification or settle for a regular course? For office automation, going for a MOS (Microsoft Office Specialist) certification brings real CV value. For soft skills, certification is not systematic: the priority lies in practice and the evaluation of skills in the professional context. ITTA advises based on the individual need.
From an HR perspective, several levers help fund employee training. Swiss organisations can activate sector funds depending on their branch, mobilise continuous training vouchers available in some cantons, or integrate training into their overall HR development plan. ITTA offers inter-company sessions for individual needs and tailored in-company formats for full teams, often with a better cost-to-participant ratio on groups of 8 to 12 people. Training officers can request an annual framework programme that blends several topics (office automation, AI, soft skills) within a multi-year learning logic.
