Greetings!  

 

Educate And Train Your Employees And Your Organization Will Save Money And Will Be More Successful.

 

A recent study by the American Society of Training and Development found that firms that spend $1500 on training and development per employee vs those who spend $125 generate 24% higher gross profit margins.

The Cheesecake Factory, one of the most successful restaurant chains in the nation, spends about $2,000 per employee for training each year and reaps sales of $1,000 per square foot-more than twice the industry average.

 

Training saves labor....by reducing duplication of effort, time spent on problem solving, and time spent on correcting mistakes.

 

Training saves money.  A better skilled workforce means fewer machine breakdowns, lower maintenance costs, lower staff turnover, lower recruitment costs, fewer bad debts, fewer customer support calls, fewer help desk calls, less need for supervision, reduced downtime, and increased worker productivity.

 

Training improves a company's competitive edge. According to Nobel Laureate Gary Becker, professor of economics and sociology at the University of Chicago, "Any company has to recognize that not only is the human capital of their employees a major asset, it is also a depreciating asset that needs continuing investment." Keeping worker skills up to date keeps a company in the running.

 

Training increases worker productivity

Just a 2-percent increase in productivity has been shown to net a 100 percent return on investment in training (source: "The 2001 Global Training and Certification Study," CompTIA and Prometric).

Laura is an engaged instructor, a personable facilitator and an excellent resource. I thoroughly enjoyed her as a person, and her training far exceeded my expectations. The results are obvious as I watch my team's interactions post-training.

 

I would recommend Laura to any organization that is looking for a truly hands-on and experienced professional who is able to easily adapt to all personality types and bring both fun and challenges to our learning. She was excellent.
