When an employer hires a worker, there
is a high probability that the new hire might not have all the skills needed
for your company. It takes around 28 weeks for a new hire to reach their
optimum productivity level and outgoings for advertising costs, agency fees
together with invested time during the interview process contributes to the
price of recruiting replacement staff. Thus it is best for an employer to look
out, not just in the interest of his employee but also in the interest of his
business or company.
In looking out for the interest of your
company, you are also finding ways to improve employee retention. Improving their
retention doesn't just have to do with increasing salaries and praising them as it might be detrimental to them. Majority of companies now take up training as
a form of employee retention.
Despite the advantages involved in
training, there are certain misconceptions involved in it as well as some
businesses feel it is an unnecessary exercise. Some employers think that once
you train your employees, they can look for a different job or better
opportunities somewhere else.
The above thought is a fairly
pessimistic one i would say because that only appears as your thought. It is an
understandable point of view, but if you approach training in the right way
while recognizing and respecting your employees at the same time, they’ll have
little to no reason to leave.
I would therefore advice that as an
employee, training your staff is the best way to create employee retention
because it will not just improve the productivity of your employee, but also
improve the success rate of your business.
WHY ELSE DO YOU THINK IT IS IMPORTANT TO TRAIN YOUR EMPLOYEES?
Training also is a way to "customize" your employee: matching employee´s mind and expertise to organization culture. Also training strehgthens employee´s compromiso to company.
