Training = Better businesses.
There is a common factor out there - successful businesses and organisations train their staff!
Improved quality and productivity
Training that meets both staff and employer needs can increase the quality and flexibility of a business's services by fostering:
-
accuracy and efficiency
-
good work safety practices
-
better customer service
Improved staff retention
Training increases staff retention, which is a significant cost saving, as the loss of one competent person can be the equivalent of one year's pay and benefits.
The flow-on effect
The benefits of training in one area can flow through to all levels of an organisation. Over time, training will boost the bottom line and reduce costs by decreasing:
-
wasted time and materials
-
maintenance costs of machinery and equipment
-
workplace accidents, leading to lower insurance premiums
-
recruitment costs through the internal promotion of skilled staff
-
absenteeism
Staying competitive
Businesses must continually change their work practices and infrastructure to stay competitive in a global market. Training staff to manage the implementation of new technology, work practices and business strategies allows your business to remain competitive.
