Henry Ford once said, “The only thing worse than training your employees and having them leave – is not training them and having them stay.” But do companies really follow that sage advice? According to The Talent Equation, companies nationally spend more money on providing coffee for their employees than on training the employees themselves. On average, companies spend less than $68 per day to train their workers to get them up to speed and to maintain the skill level necessary to effectively do their jobs. And, training does more than build competencies. Offering an employee development program is a good way to attract and retain the best employees within your organization as it inspires employee loyalty and devotion. Are you adequately training your managers to do their job which is to work more effectively with your people? Contact an AcuMax consultant if you would be interested in learning more about training programs to improve your leadership team.
