Training is often the first item to be axed when looking for quick cuts, without looking at the long term impact on the company's ability to re-grow.

 

Given the light speed at which a lot of organizations move, making time for training seems hard for employers as well as employees. Yet, the same argument makes training a necessity to keep up with the rate of change in IT departments. Organizations are looking at a prolonged economic downturn, and IT leaders are feeling the pressure to cut costs while delivering the same or more value to the organization.

 

The situation is simply not sustainable as the cost cuts target the training that is necessary to help employees do their jobs as best as they can. Taking training out has a significant negative impact on morale, productivity, and hence the bottom line. Under the additional pressure of a downturn and the fear of downsizing, training is a great way of showing ongoing commitment and motivating employees to do their best.

 

The right training for the right employees can enable them to look at current best practices from a tactical perspective at just the right time. Corporate-mandated training is often viewed with skepticism by employees who see it as a waste of time, especially when they are pressured to be more productive due to layoffs. By contrast, employees that request specific training are highly motivated to fully participate in the training. With an economic downturn underway, IT departments are looking for ways to cut costs fast. Unfortunately, one of the first items to go is training. Info-Tech recommends finding economical ways to fit training into a tight budget instead of cutting training all together.
