What value does training bring to a business?

Answer 1

I think when you you train or when people are trained quality of products is improved. It's also a way to motivate workers. I think training is invaluable. First of all it allows a company to improve it's staff easily, quickly and usually economically. Rather than having to hire new workers each time a new skill is needed - the existing workers, those familiar with the business, can be trained or retrained in the needed information. Secondly, training can be used as a perk - telling the employee that they are valued enough to be sent out of the office for a day or so to learn a new skill - one that will improve them and help their company. A company that does little or no training is refusing to change with the times and will most likely be swept up by the competition. We live in such a changing world that we must train, retrain or become obsolete.
