THE BENEFITS OF TRAINING

Getting your staff into workplace learning makes dollars and sense. Research shows that staff training can produce increased returns ranging from 30 percent to 7,000 percent.

The same research reveals that staff who've had formal training are up to 230 percent more productive than their untrained colleagues doing the same job.

As a result of completing qualifications, most retail and wholesale employees:

  • Are more productive, confident, efficient and committed to their work and workplace
  • Are more highly motivated towards skills development
  • Have better awareness of career pathways and opportunities for improvement
  • Value their qualifications as a recognition of their skills and an asset to their careers

The only thing worse than a trained employee who leaves is an untrained employee who stays.'
