Despite
the recession some organisations are recognising that learning plays a vital part
in ensuring organisational success.
"It
is very gratifying to hear this", says Grainne Suter from jml Training
and Consultancy, "as it's very shortsighted to believe that cutting the
training budget, even in the short term, won't have a negative effect."
It is
also satisfying to hear that organisations are thinking more carefully about meeting
their learning and development needs. In the past when training budgets were much
more substantial sending individual employees on expensive external courses was
a common trend. But lone individuals, no matter how enthusiastic they were after
the course, could do little to introduce their learning in the existing culture.
Organisations
have also been poor at helping their people translate that learning to improvements
in their job." What organisations need to think very carefully about",
says Grainne "is how they plan and deliver their learning and development
requirement. A shift to in-house training is a very cost effective and efficient
way to achieve the learning that plays such a vital role in ensuring organisational
success".
Building
a relationship with a training company that understands your business, your values
and your long term objectives is the best way forward. As the relationship grows
the impact of the learning programmes are felt more widely in the organisation.
Companies then find that re-skilling their staff and developing their existing
expertise delivers the long term efficiency savings and bridges the gaps created
by job cuts and downsizing.
