As the end of the financial year approaches in Australia, most organisations are taking a close look at numbers—budgets, forecasts, carryover, and compliance. But EOFY doesn’t just offer a moment to reconcile spend. It’s also a natural pause point to reflect on people, culture, and capability.

We often reassess systems and finances this time of year. But what if we applied that same scrutiny to training and development? Not just how much was spent—but what actually shifted?

Is Your Training Still Fit for Purpose?

Workplaces have changed dramatically in the past few years—hybrid dynamics, shifting priorities, new leadership challenges. And yet, many training approaches haven’t evolved to match.

EOFY is a smart time to ask:

  • Are our current training efforts aligned with the challenges our people actually face?

  • Are we building capability or just ticking boxes?

  • What do our teams need to work better, communicate clearer, and lead more effectively in the year ahead?

These aren’t just HR questions—they’re strategic ones.

What’s Worth Rethinking?

If you’re revisiting training plans, here are a few areas worth re-evaluating:

1. Communication styles:
Misalignment here can lead to tension, friction, and reduced productivity. Are your teams equipped with the tools to communicate across differences?

2. Leadership readiness:
Promoting high performers is one thing—supporting them to lead is another. Are new leaders being set up to succeed?

3. Team resilience:
Are teams equipped to deal with change, pressure, and the unexpected—or are they burning out quietly?

4. Engagement touchpoints:
Beyond KPIs and dashboards, are your people connected to the culture? Do they know what’s expected of them—and why it matters?

EOFY as a Strategic Inflection Point

The reality is, the end of the financial year creates momentum. Leaders are thinking about what worked, what didn’t, and what’s next. That makes it a smart window to introduce meaningful development—not as a reaction, but as a reset.

Workshops and training at this time of year don’t have to be large-scale. In fact, short, focused sessions can be incredibly effective for creating clarity, building shared language, or kicking off a new leadership rhythm heading into the new year.

Looking to Do Something Different?

At Breakthrough Corporate Training, we deliver practical, one-off workshops that help teams communicate better, lead more effectively, and engage with purpose. We’ve recently been working with organisations who are using this EOFY period to bring in development that’s fresh, relevant, and easy to roll out—especially for team days, off-sites, or leadership planning sessions.
