Upskill Your Employees
The Need To Upskill
In recent times employers have really felt the sqeeze in company budget, a good chunk of which is spent on employee wages. Recently relealed figures from the RBA indicate that the market is again starting to pickup and the employment rate is going up with it. But in many cases Employers still can’t afford to employ new staff to fill roles that were made redundant during the “GFC”. See an article previously posted on Australian Job News regarding the True Cost of Employment. But someone still has to do the work… so what’s the answer? Upskilling.
In a recent survey 70% of surveyed companies reported that they had saved money by upskilling current employees rather than hire new ones. It’s also a well known fact in the HR industry that it costs 150% to hire someone in their first year of employment. So if you hire them for a position paying $50,000, by the time you train them and they settle in it would have cost you around $75,000.
Benefits Of Upskilling Staff As An Employer
- Increase Staff Productivity – A busy worker is a productive one. By training your staff membersto be able to do more you will be keeping them busy with all the additional tasks they can now perform.
- Increased Staff Loyalty – By training your staff to perform new tasks they are more likely to feel a mutual obligation to use those skills to improve comapny performance.
- Build Company Reputation – In most cases the courses completed will come with Industry recognised certifications which can be used to promote your comapny’s high quality staff and work.
