Is there a ROI on training initiatives?

Of course there is!

I found interesting data and would like to share it with you:

I am always a little puzzled that so many companies still view training as an expense rather than an investment. I wonder if this is because previous training initiatives did not produce the expected results.

What would be the best way to shift people's BMW (blaming, moaning, and whining) attitude into possibility thinking?
What if we are determined that a training initiative will yield the expected results?
What if we do everything it takes to create the attitude of a winning team?
What if we learn to have more respect for each other?

Here is my winning formula to attain, achieve, and maintain the outcomes you are looking for:

1. Determine the gap - Where are you now? Where do you want to be?
2. Commit (and I really mean commit with your body, mind and spirit) to an end goal
3. Develop a plan with a deadline
4. Communicate the plan along with measurable objectives and outline the benefits for the whole team to your people
5. Ask, ask, ask for the input of your people and HEAR what they have to say
6. Monitor the process and enjoy being a part of it
7. Personal Development is a must
8. Celebrate little successes along the way with the whole team
9. Goal Achievement
10. Sustain and strive to become even better

Always remember, you differentiate yourself from your competition by being more driven and prepared.

Don't let your competitor be ahead of the game!

Our Next FREE Workshop is on December 9, 2009

Did you lose your job?
Are you fearful and stuck, looking for guidance?
Are you ready to be pro-active and make a plan for your life?
Do you need help identifying and setting your goals?

Do you know someone who lost their job recently?
Do you want to move forward and find the right job for YOU?
Are you thinking about self-employment?

We can help! We provide a supportive and positive learning environment and empower people to achieve their full potential and realize their dreams. It is all about taking action and taking 100 % responsibility for your life and for your results!

Sometimes it's tough to stay positive considering all the fears and insecurities we have to deal with. However, we have learned from own experience that attitude is everything and it is our goal to communicate to YOU how you can turn a positive outlook in your job search into action.

Come and join us! It's time to sign up.....

Our commitment to you is to give you positive energy, a lot of new ideas and a fantastic workshop without any investment for you, except your time. If you give us your commitment to participate, please do not let anything prevent you from attending. It will be well worth your time and effort.

This attitude alone will separate you from others who are looking a job. I firmly believe, how you do anything is how you do everything!
