Soft skills training for organisations
Committed to quality . . . passionate about learning
'Steering your organisation through turbulent times, we're back to truisms of great grandpa. Low debt is good, staying true to strategy. What NOT to cut: training, innovation, marketing.'
Presentation by James Kell, CEO, Kell & Rigby, 20 May 2009 at Institute of Chartered Accountants Business Forum.
You may wish to improve staff productivity or enhance your managers' leadership skills.
Your goal may be to cultivate empowered teams who are emotionally-intelligent, who collaborate and communicate well. You may want to keep your sales team motivated with sales training. You may want to keep clients with superlative customer service.
In an economic downturn, there is a temptation for business - large and small - to cut spending on staff training. When times are tough, it looks a simple way to cut costs.
But research in 2007* shows that firms who do not train their people are 2.5 times more likely to fail than those who do.
Training demonstrates to your people there is a future and they will be a part of it.
Now is the time to keep training the brain power of your people. When markets are shrinking, it is their commitment, productivity and ability to add value that keeps you competitive.
In previous downturns, businesses that did invest in the skills and talents of their people saw the most dynamic recovery. Investing now in building their time management or customer service or communication or people skills puts you in the strongest position as the economy recovers. You will be a step ahead of your competitors and able to take advantage of opportunities quickly.
The skills of your people are the best guarantee of future prosperity, and the best investment a business can make in challenging times.
