Employees would like more training

Solihull based organisation the Chartered Institute of Payroll Professionals (CIPP) has found, following a recent survey that 85 per cent of professionals would like to have more training at work to enhance their job role. When looking into reasons why professionals choose to not study a qualification, 18 per cent say it’s down to the lack of support from their employer.  Rose Howley associate director of training at the CIPP says “training and development is essential within today’s working environment to ensure work-related skills, techniques and knowledge is up to date.” The survey which looked into attitudes towards training and development among professionals in 2012 asked respondents what the main obstacles are for not engaging in training and over half (58 per cent) said it came down to funding.  Rose Howley adds “if you invest in your employees and develop/educate them internally or externally at the right time this will increase productivity, improve service and increase their knowledge which will contribute to your organisation and guarantee an immediate return on your investment.”
