We’ve been discussing the importance of hiring and retaining highly skilled employees, but even the best employees may need to periodically update or further develop their work skills. One question facing managers is how much time and money to invest in improving the work skills of their employees. Some managers argue that ongoing employee training is the most important investment a company can make. What are your thoughts on the matter?
Andrew
I don’t think that employee training is the most important investment a company can make. The company should be hiring the most skilled workers it can find in the first place. There are so many other unavoidable things that a company needs to spend money on that have to take precedence over training.
Kelly
Employees’ leaving their jobs is always a risk, but providing ongoing training and skill development is more likely to make employees want to stay rather than go, in my opinion. When employers pay for training, employees are likely to feel more valued by their employer, and this can only improve the employer-employee relationship.
The topic of training current employees or hiring new ones has generated much discussion in recent years. My personal belief is that it is more benefitial for companies to hire skilled employees rather than training the old ones. As Andrew mentioned, companies can save money by finding potential fits for their job positions. Additionally, this is benefitial for workers too because it takes time for them to learn new skills to process new tasks. Accordingly, this can lead to great confusion, and they may get stressed out, which is not helpful for their carear performance.
I understand Kelly's concern in this regard, but I believe employees can search and find better job for themselves that fits completely for them.
