The Importance and ROI of Training: Surviving and Thriving in an Economic Downturn

In most organizations today, fewer people are being asked to do more, as many positions have been eliminated. Ensuring supervisors and managers have the skills needed to increase employee productivity and engagement will prove to be critical to your near-term and long-term success. This paper discusses:

  • The importance of talent management in increasing
     engagement and productivity in a highly distracting
     environment.
  • The value of basic supervisory training and its potential
     to have a real and immediate impact on organizational performance.
  • Practical recommendations on how to turn training initiatives into development
     programs that will make a lasting difference to the organization and the individual.
  • Tangible ROI methods for you to shift organizational leaders’ mindsets from ‘training
     as a cost center’ to ‘training as a profit driver.’

The key questions are a) how do human resources leaders make the most of limited training and development resources? and b) how do you shift the conversation from ‘can we afford to do it?’ to ‘can we afford not to do it?’ Find out how.
