IntroductionResearch shows that updating the skills of staff or retraining them in new areas improves an organisation’s productivity, profitability and ability to adapt to change. In fact, organisations that do not train their staff are two-and-a-half times more likely to go out of business than those that invest in training. (Source: UK commission for Employment & Skills – Ambition 2020)
