Questions to Ask Yourself

If you think training is too expensive, have you compared it to the cost of mistakes, ignorance, and having to re-do actions?

All too often we think that people should be able to adapt to new procedures, tools, or skills without providing them with proper training. Afterall, it means that people often have to take time away from their “job” to participate in training in many instances and that just feels expensive. Additionally, it is often hard to capture the value or return on investment made through training. So, companies forego the effort and agree to accept “business as usual.”

However; while we can’t make time for training initially, we often find the time to correct the errors or even incur a cost to hire additional staff to check for mistakes of those who are not achieving the results needed or anticipated. What are those variables costing you in; time, energy , focus, and REAL money?
