Millions Wasted Every Year in Employee Training, New Book Unlocks the Secret to High Returns

Millions Wasted Every Year in Employee Training, New Book Unlocks the Secret to High Returns






Companies spend
millions annually on training their employees, in return, they expect a more
engaged and productive workforce. What if I told you, we have had no noticeable
improvement in employee attitude over the past decade.







So, is training
employees a waste of time, money and resources? In his book, ‘Your Leadership
Edge’, the author Ravinder Tulsiani talks about why employers have failed to
capitalize on this investment and redirects the focus back at the top – the
leadership.



“The source of
the problem is not employees. Numerous exit interview studies have found that
employees don’t leave companies, they leave their managers. Yet, most companies
focus on carrot and stick approach to effect employee behaviour and engagement
levels” says Ravinder.



Logically, if 70%
of employees are disengaged in the workforce and most report leaving as a
result of their experience with their managers – isn’t it time that we look at
what the manager’s could do differently to improve employee disengagement
situation?



So, is it the
manager’s fault? No. Most manager’s became managers because they were good
employees and were rewarded with a promotion. But, once promoted, very few
organizations train their manager’s to manage properly. These managers rely on
their past experience as employees themselves to manage their subordinates
without any leadership training.



So, is the answer
leadership training. Yes – in part. I firmly believe that training is rarely
the silver bullet, however, a solid foundation is a prerequisite to leadership
mastery. ‘Your Leadership EDGE’ will give you the foundation necessary to be an
effective leader.



Using the
step-by-step program outlined in each of the chapters in this book you will not
only become more aware of the core leadership competencies; you will acquire
the necessary leadership skills foundation that will enable you to develop and
support a highly engaged and productive workforce.

employee indifference is a waste of money

DID YOU KNOW?
  • Training expenditure per employee has consistently gone up despite the tough business climate. in 2001, the expenditure per employee was $734 on training. By 2012, this number climbed to $1,195 per employee (ASTD stats).
  • Surveys in 2000 and 2012 suggests that there has been no major shift in employee engagement attitude, 70% of all employees continue to be disengaged from their employer interest (Gallup Study).
  • Allocating more money doesn't appear to be the answer. 
  • Your thoughts?
