Training Courses - A Waste of Money?
Training in its broadest sense is the provision of information to allow someone to carry out an old task better or to learn to perform a new task. Yet training is often seen as an extra cost and therefore affecting the bottom line. When the business environment is difficult it can be one of the first costs to be cut.There is no denying that it does cost time and money to train people but it can cost far more when people are untrained.

Even in larger companies the risk that people will jump ship after specialised training is always there. What’s more once people leave education they can often become resistant to learning, beyond basic tasks required of them in their work environment. Often it becomes the responsibility of the employers to determine how and when employees get training.

More often than not it was a list of “approved courses”.This in part is where the problem lies. Employees can often see no benefit beyond a day out because they are not expected to. As a result it can be easy to fill a one day course, when it’s a day out and you get paid for it. The employer fulfils their obligation and the employee
