TRAINING IS AN INVESTMENT NOT A COST Dec 08

Steve Gray, Chief Executive at Lancashire training provider Training 2000 is warning local businesses will suffer during the credit crunch if they cut back on training initiatives.

As the recession continues to bite, Steve Gray believes employers are looking to make cuts in one way or another, with the training budget thought to be one of the first costs to be slashed. However with this in mind he is encouraging organisations to reconsider their decision, as such an action could be detrimental for businesses looking to be prepared and competitive when the good times return.

Steve comments: “An employers’ natural reaction may be that investing in training is a luxury they can’t afford. However, we oppose this view and advise that investing in training employees is a more financially viable option as it not only increases staff morale but also encourages internal growth and development.

“Organisations that invest in their teams typically have lower staff turnover, higher levels of productivity and in turn happier customers – something that no business can afford to turn its nose up at in the current economic conditions.”

Training 2000 offers a diverse range of courses within areas such as Engineering, Automotive, Construction, Business, Healthcare and Dental. If there isn’t an exact course to fulfil your needs, Training 2000 will work with you to develop a bespoke training course. This enables employees to build on existing skills, develop their own professional development while broadening their knowledge within their workplace.
