Business Benefits

A well-trained and professional workforce is better equipped to:

  • Work effectively with minimal supervision helping to raise productivity
  • Improve customer satisfaction by giving knowledgeable responses to enquiries
  • Be flexible so staff can be employed on related jobs and cope with work-level fluctuations and absences
  • Take a creative approach to business problems and develop new products and services
  • Appreciate the value of developing their personal skills and be highly motivated.

Poor training or development results in 42% of employees lacking full proficiency in their jobs (DfES, Employer Provided Training Key Facts 2000).
