To Your Success
You can't afford to leave any of your potential untapped.
The reality of the current economy is that businesses must carefully allocate resources to grow and expand their business. Now that business has changed, it's time to identify opportunities that have been created in this economy and to invest in the power of your people.
Two recent studies by American Society for Training and Development (ASTD) reveal that (1) when companies commit training resources to improve the skills of their leaders and their workforce they significantly outperform their competition financially; and (2) a recession actually creates a greater need for training. Successful organizations know that training pays off for businesses and investors. Don't sabotage your own success by underestimating the importance of this strategic tool in today's economy.

“Your success will start when you begin to pursue it.”

The first study* by ASTD examined the amount of money public companies spend per employee on training and compared that to the company's performance in the stock market. The study proved a strong positive correlation. Firms in the top half, based on their average per-employee expenditures on training, had a total stockholder return that was 86 percent higher than firms in the bottom half and 45 percent higher than the market average. Companies in the top quarter of the study group enjoyed, on the average, 24 percent higher profit margins, 218 percent higher income per employee, and 26 percent higher price-to-book ratios than companies in the bottom quarter. Wouldn't you relish that kind of performance in your company?
What does this mean for you? Now is the time to focus your business on activities that will pay off in the long run. Now is the time to focus on building and improving the soft skills that are so essential to your business success.
In the second study**, ASTD and the Institute for Corporate Productivity (i4cp) collaborated on researching how businesses manage learning in a slow economy. The research study revealed that a recession actually creates a higher need for training. The most crucial need for increased training was shown to be in leadership development and customer service. Two-thirds of the study's participants said their organizations should use more mentoring and coaching as an effective business strategy in today's economy. This study's results identify learning as a strategic component of viable business plans, and support the increased importance of training in the workplace.Key Innovative Solutions provides the services you need to thrive.
