If a skilled workforce is hard to get, will you sit around waiting till you find THE ONE?
Or would you rather train them so that you not just have skilled employees but suit your needs, or understand your vision and honour your work values?
You did definitely want the latter, won’t you?
According to a study by PwC, Millennials, training ranked third in the things that attract them to employers, even above employer values, work schedules or employee benefits.
So, stop fantasizing about the ideal candidate and train potential candidates to become ideal employees. When labour market is tight, it is time employers loosen their purse strings and their minds and invest time & money in training their workforce.
Training your workforce makes them a right fit not just for the job but for you and your company.
They are inspired to learn more, when trained rather than those who are already trained.
It is in the interest of a dynamic & enriching economy that employers should think about the future of young prospects and offer them a chance to learn & grow
But individual employers fear losing them after training, which does happen, and they so try and minimize training investments, which not only reduces the competency of the employees but leaves the company with no competitive edge.
But not training is also not an option!
Training also makes employees value you and your company more, making them less likely to get attracted to other offers. Research shows that employees enjoy the sense of encouragement through training and feel obliged to work in the company that has taught them so much.
Entrepreneurs are visionaries and so if they channelise that drive into training suitable workforce you’ll not only hire employees who work for you but also along with you, your vision & mission. Talented & skilled workforce are much better motivated, focused & work in a way that suits your work style & values.
Such benefits make entrepreneurs believe that they are producers of talent rather than just mere consumers of talent.
