When I asked why, they said if they educated their work force, employees would leave for better jobs. Candidates tell us one of the main reasons they leave a company is lack of training. They feel that they are technically stagnating. High-tech employees feel, in some situations, that the only way to keep current is to join a company using the new technology, or one with a training program. Technical training includes educating programmers and engineers in the latest operating systems, languages and tools, such as compilers and utility programs.
Management training is for all levels of supervision and management.
This training usually covers interviewing, hiring, motivating, reviewing, firing and managing stress. Administrative training is for anyone using programs such as Word, Excel and Access. The assumption that everyone knows Microsoft suites is only partially correct. It is estimated the average administrative employee only uses 20 percent of the power of the programs. It would seem, then, that training itself is a motivator for employees.
