Some Truths Why Your Business May Be Suffering
1. Untrained Employees = Unhappy Employees
Employees who feel inadequate, underachieving, or unsupported are unhappy. They aren’t satisfied in their work, which will cause them to under perform, make mistakes, and not care about their work product. That costs the business in lost time and money.
2. Untrained Workers Have a Low Production Value
The quality of their work is lower and of less value. The quality in performance is lower than it could (or should) be.

3. Untrained Workers Are Inefficient
More time (and therefore money) and effort is spent when employees aren’t fully or properly trained to perform their tasks or to fulfill their responsibilities. It takes them longer to do the work. 4. Lost Time/Money Due to Mistakes When an untrained worker makes a mistake, the time and materials used are lost. The work then has to be done again. Or worse, the inadequate product was delivered to the client. |

5. An Increase in Miscellaneous Expenses
These are more difficult to track or attribute to untrained workers, but they are there. Creating a CAD drawing incorrectly means reprinting the file. That means it takes more time to fix the mistake, more materials cost in paper and ink, and more time rechecking the work. If it were done correctly the first time, these costs wouldn’t be there.
6. Insufficient Staff Training Means Lost Customers
Untrained employees can cause many of the mistakes listed above, and those mistakes and inefficiencies can cause your business to lose customers. That is the worst possible scenario, but it can happen.

4. Improves employee retention and growth
It's common knowledge that the hiring and on-boarding process can be a costly and time-consuming task. And a powerful by-product of increased performance and engagement through training is improved employee retention. Training boosts a feeling of value in employees. It shows that you’re committed to providing them with the resources needed to ensure they’re doing a good job. In turn, they are more likely to enjoy their work and remain in your organization for longer. It also nurtures them further in their career within your organization. You’ll have more opportunities to hire from within, reducing hiring and on-boarding costs for your business.
5. Consistency in training
Creating consistency within an organization is difficult. But training helps reduce a disparity between your teams. Each employee has a baseline knowledge of their own and their team’s goals putting everyone on the same page. Employees all having the same training too mean they share responsibility and are aware of their role on the team.

A lack of awareness of internal weakness is a hazardous thing within an organization. Training overcomes this as you can educate your employees on important subjects that help overcome and avoid any issues. Additionally, it creates a knowledge sharing environment. Your employees learn from management and each other’s past mistakes and wins. This ensures that recurring mistakes are reduced and your employees know the strategies for success. |
