Why Re-Training Your Staff Is Essential To Business Growth

Why Re-Training Your Staff Is Essential To Business Growth

Across all industries, sourcing adequately trained & capable staff can often be a nightmare. What is the solution to such a problem? According to the Learning and Skills Council, eight out of ten people felt happier and more confident after developing a new skill. Another 85 per cent of people in the study claimed they were more prepared to take on new challenges after they had started a training course. Thus, we can make the assertion that re-training current staff can be more beneficial to company growth, in contrast to sourcing newer, less experienced staff. Karen Price, who is the chief executive at the IT sector skills council, has said in an interview with Computer Weekly that, “How we re-skill the existing workforce is a fascinating question,” she said. “By 2020, the people who are in the workforce now will make up 70% of the working population. “The ageing population in Britain means we are running out of young people, so an emphasis on the 70% that are already working is really important.” Indeed, with such a large percentage of the population already working, the focus should primarily be on how to train and re-train existing workers, to take on more responsibility or cover different sectors.
