IMPORTANCE OF TRAINING EMPLOYEES

Most business managers wouldn’t hire unqualified employees. But so many of them do employ under-qualified workers. Sometimes employees become under-qualified due to changing technology or the development of new methods. Don’t get me wrong; training does come at a cost. The two biggest resources used for job training are time and money. Some of the excuses not to train are as follow:

Training employees costs time, money, and materials. Often, third parties are needed to conduct job training. Not only will there be missed time and non billable hours, but there will also be additional costs. Another reason businesses often neglect/reject to train employees is because of past training experiences. Sometimes the training was done poorly, or the content was not relevant to the skills gap. That could happen for several reasons. Failed training comes at a high cost, and businesses often don’t want to take that risk, but Intact Education Training and Development we assist with training needs analysis if the organization is not sure which skills is needed to ensure in partaking to the right choice.

HERE ARE SOME POINTS THAT Underscore The Importance of Training

A) Untrained Employees = Unhappy Employees
Employees who feel inadequate, underachieving, or unsupported are unhappy. They aren’t satisfied in their work, which will cause them to underperform, make mistakes, and not care about delivering. That costs the business in lost time and money.

B) Untrained Workers Have a Low Production
The quality of their work is lower and of less value. The quality in performance is lower than it could be.

C) Untrained Workers Are Inefficient
More time (and therefore money) and effort is spent when employees aren’t fully or properly trained to perform their tasks or to fulfill their responsibilities. It takes them longer to do the work.

D) Lost Time/Money Due to Mistakes
When an untrained worker makes a mistake, the time and materials (Money) used are lost, Then has to be done again. Or worse.

E) Insufficient Staff Training Means Lost Customers
Untrained employees can cause many of the mistakes listed above, and those mistakes and inefficiencies can cause your business to lose customers. That is the worst possible scenario, but it can happen.

As Intact Education Training and Development we say having a trained workforce means your workers are learning new skills that can improve production, cut time spent in creation of your product (or service), reduce production costs, reduce mistakes, build confidence in your workforce, and create a better working environment. An investment in your employees’ skill sets is an investment in your company. When everyone gets better, everyone gets better.
