Why Invest In Training
“…too often in the past there has been a tendency for businesses to cut back on investing in training as soon as a recession begins, but all the research suggests that this is not the best thing to do.”
- Sir Chris Humphries, Chief Executive, UK Commission for Employment and Skills.
The real benefits of a well-trained workforce cannot be underestimated.
And yet time and again, in the recent difficult economic and business conditions endured by the UK, one of the first things that was either reduced or cut-out altogether, was training - yes it costs money....yes it is an investment in time, but all to often, attending a training course was either postponed or cancelled altogether......an entirely false economy.........
When times are tough, there is absolutely no doubt that there is an immediate appeal, to say, "I am not going on a training course because I cant afford the time" or in the case of a business, to cut back because it is financial argument made by the finance manager, on the basis that we can "try to ride out” the rough seas, by reducing expenses as much as possible. We are the first to say that for some, this may well be the right and proper thing to do!
But consider this: training is your investment in the future, and to be well trained and skilled is the lifeblood of any business or individual - ignore it at your peril. An example soimetimes cited is that falling business activity or a sharp increase in competition for the same amount of business can lead some companies to explore diversification or going into a new market area......In other words, getting trained to address those new markets is not only imperative....it is a must……..Businesses can also find training as a way of finding ways of doing the same thing but better....and being better is also abouyt being smarter and more profitable......the holy grail for some hard hit companies out there, who have been ravaged by the recession.
In all of these situations, it is a well trained individual or a workforce that is essentially totally committed....
And that's not all, the almost instant side effect of training is an increase in how motivated the trained individual is. It is absolutely true, that a person or workforce that is well trained is also willing to adapt to new situations, picking up these new skills.......training quickly evolves from something that would be "nice" to something that is essential. Trained workforces allow businesses to become much more competitive and adopt new technologies, processes and approaches that can yield rich rewards.
