Nurturing your workforce pays

Sometimes a report only confirms what you already know. I think this is the case for a recent report from the Cranfield School of Management with Learn Direct.

They conclude that almost 80% of organisations believe there is a greater benefit in developing employees over external recruitment. We think this is even more important for us smaller organisations, we have to recruit carefully and develop our staff.

I have seen clear evidence of this in one of the organisations we work with. The business moved forward significantly after a change in approach to nurture their staff and develop the business with them. This is the thinking that sits behind Hassle Free Training; improving people's IT skills gives them tools to both help the business and develop themselves.
