A Mandate For Training Is A Mandate For Survival

Governments and businesses are under enormous pressure due to the financial challenges we are experiencing internationally

. A besieged mentality is all too common and many organizations are responding with drastic monetary and staffing cuts. For many in Human Resources, they see their training budgets disappearing. The question arises, as to how can we keep our competitive edge while not offering training and development opportunities to staff? The answer is not complicated - we cannot.

I would argue that significant cuts in our training and development (T & D) budgets are a very short term and, in fact, short sighted reaction to the economic pressures we are facing. In fact, I suggest that a mandate for training is a mandate for survival.

As we attempt to ride out this international economic crisis, we should be focusing more and more on human resource development. How successful an organization will be in surviving these times will depend on increasing efficiency. That will depend on how successful an organization is at making best use of its key resource, its employees.

Enhancing, not reducing,
