Managing a business in this uncertain economy is a challenge. In the short term, it's very tempting to reduce the payroll while at the same time divesting in staff development in the form of training. And yet, now more than ever, is the right time to focus on talent - the key to business success. There are very few industries unaffected by the current economic climate, most are sharing the pain.

The current downturn is the ideal time to re-assess how things are currently done and strategically plan for the future. This is especially important when it comes to investing in 'people skills' - the very asset that will ensure you compete and beat the competition

However, this will only happen if a business considers the development of this most important asset in the form of skill coaching and training. The problem is that whenever anyone mentions training, the first thing that springs to mind is 'the course'

At worse, an activity where candidates arrive at 9.00am, have various breaks, get a course book, meet new and old acquaintances, leave at 4.30pm having had a pleasant day out of work. At best,they play an active part in a training course, reinforce ideas, learn some new skills, feel that they have benefited. They put ideas into practice to improve their performance

These two examples have something in common - not much happens before the day or after! The event often takes place in isolation. This workshop emphasises that to get the maximum benefit from training activities, there should be a more structured, quality assured approach.

The workshop, therefore, considers how training and development needs are identified using a wide range of information, such as that gained from daily activities as well as specific opportunities such as reviews and appraisals etc
