If you think training is expensive, try ignorance. These companies recognize that detrimental costs are due to lack of training and development, resulting in the loss of productivity and competitiveness in the market, and misspent management time. Computer training is one development area often overlooked. In today's technological environment the ability to fully utilize computer technology directly impacts the cost of doing business. Utilized well, computers improve productivity and reduce downtime, help staff determine and structure production schedules, manage the accounting, track inventory and cost of sales, prepare proposals, quotes or bids, and maintain a client mailing list or database.
Computers are an integral part of today's business environment.
Not utilized properly, computer systems equal money down the drain. Management is often the core of liabilities related to training, supervisory skills and other human resources areas. In today's litigious society, management's awareness of changes in employee relations law and practices is crucial to avoid potential liabilities, penalties and controversial employee relations issues. Assess your organization's position on computer training and management development.
