Tougher economic times make skills more important not less

– what are you doing to gain the competitive edge?

“It is not the fittest who survives, nor the most intelligent that survives but the ones who are most able to adapt to change”

Darwin

Does this sound familiar to you?

• It is far too difficult to access training and funding to up skill employees

• We cannot see tangible benefits to training staff

• It is difficult to release staff for training

• We are going through redundancies and training is not a priority

• We tried training before and it didn’t work

• What if I train the staff and they leave?

In today’s climate what have you done to help you survive

and thrive in the future:

“In the face of the economic downturn, businesses will be turning a more exacting eye on the productivity and effectiveness of their workforces and if we are to see the major improvements we need, that means looking at the skills of all our employees and taking steps to boost them, both now and in the upturn. Tougher economic times make skills more important, not less”.

Richard Lambert, Director General, CBI
